Imagine standing in a courtroom. You know you’re guilty. The evidence is stacked against you — every failure, every lie, every moment you chose self over surrender. You’re waiting for the verdict, bracing for the sentence. And then the Judge steps down, takes off His robe, and says, “I’ll take the punishment. You’re free.”
That’s the scandal of grace. That’s the heart of How Can It Be by Lauren Daigle.
This song isn’t just a worship ballad — it’s a confession wrapped in awe. Lauren’s voice trembles with the weight of the lyrics: “You plead my cause, You right my wrongs.” It’s the kind of song that doesn’t just speak to the churchgoer — it speaks to the struggler. The one who knows they’ve messed up. The one who wonders if forgiveness is still on the table.
Lauren wrote this during a season of deep reflection, wrestling with her own imperfections and the overwhelming mercy of God. And that tension — between guilt and grace — is what makes the song so powerful. It doesn’t pretend we’re perfect. It proclaims that Jesus is.
Romans 5:8 says, “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” That’s not just theology — that’s rescue. And Isaiah 1:18 echoes it: “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” That’s not just cleansing — that’s transformation.
Even Luke 7:47 gives us this truth: “Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much.” That’s the kind of grace that doesn’t ignore our past — it rewrites it.
So if you’ve ever felt unworthy, if you’ve ever asked, “How can it be?” — this song is your answer. Not because you earned it. But because He gave it. Freely. Fully. Forever.
