Steven Curtis Chapman's 'Facts Are Facts' is a confident declaration of core Christian beliefs, asserting that God's promises are as reliable as physical laws. The song affirms that God knows each person, Jesus died for sin, and He will return. It also challenges the relativistic idea that there are no absolute truths, encouraging believers to live out God's worldview. The lyrics emphasize that faith is grounded in objective reality, not mere opinion, and that God's love and presence are tangible truths.

Well I don't wanna' take up anybody's time
I'm just givin' my opinion with a rhythm and a clever rhyme
I don't want these words to sound
Like I think I've got it all figured out
But there are a few things I can say I know without a doubt
[Chorus:]
I know there's a God who knows my name
And a Son who died to take the blame
I believe that Jesus is coming back
'cause promises are promises and facts are facts
These days some say there's no one way to believe
Just keep it loose, you're free to choose
There's no absolute it's all relative you see
Calling all defenders of the truth
Live a life that spells out God's worldview
Let these words be heard in everything you say and do
[Chorus:]
I know there's a God who knows my name
And a Son who died to take the blame
I believe that Jesus is coming back
'cause promises are promises and facts are facts
As sure as there's a law of gravity
That says what goes up must come down
This is the ultimate reality
That God is, and God loves, and God can be found
Well I know there's a God who knows my name
Promises are promises and facts are facts
And a Son who died to take the blame
Promises are promises and facts are facts
And I believe that Jesus is coming back
'Cause promises are promises and facts are facts
[Chorus]
Promises are promises and facts are facts [x3]
