Chris Young Opens Up Regarding Faith-Filled "If It Ain't God"
Country music superstar Chris Young has just released his faith-filled single "If It Ain't God." The song acknowledges the Lord's handiwork all around us, even if we don't always take the time to acknowledge it. Written by Matt Roy, Mitchell Oglesby and Greylan James, the song opens with the singer admitting that he doesn't always stop and think about the little miracles that happen in the world -- but when he does, they blow him away.
"If that ain't God / If that ain't Him / If that ain't the man upstairs somewhere looking down on us again," Young sings in the chorus. "Don't it make you want to pray? / Don't it make you want to live? / If that ain't God / If that ain't God / I don't know what is."
"If That Ain't God" finds Young recognizing God's presence after hearing a news story about a boy in his hometown who beat cancer. Reminiscent of the '90s country era, the track is a true story song. Songs like this are what country music was built on and where Young shines the brightest.
"It's just a positive, uplifting message," the singer told PEOPLE. "It's talking about some of the things in life that you take for granted, whether it's little stuff or big stuff, and you look around and you're like, 'Man, if that ain't God, I don't know what is.'"
"It's such a special song," Young continued. "I think right now a lot of people can use this. It's just a positive, uplifting message. It's talking about some of the things in life that you take for granted, whether it's little stuff or big stuff, and you look around and you're like, 'Man, if that ain't God, I don't know what it is.' I was jealous that I had never thought of that title on my own before, because it's just a brilliantly written song. [Writers Matt Roy, Mitchell Oglesby and Greylan James] allowing me to be a part of it and put my own spin on it meant the world to me."
