If You have all authority
Then if I?m feeling pain
It?s ?cause You're letting me
But I?ve lived enough to know
You want the best for me
Always
Life isn't always what I thought it ought to be
My circumstance will not define Your sovereignty
?Cause I?ve lived enough to know You want the best for me
Always
Always
Maybe You'll calm the storm
But maybe You sent it
Still whatever You ask of me Lord
Not my will but Yours
The Pain You Let Me Feel
Benjamin William Hastings' song reflects on God's sovereignty and trust in His will, even when life is painful or confusing. The lyrics acknowledge that God has all authority and that He allows trials for a purpose, while affirming that He always wants what is best. The song contrasts the hope that God might calm a storm with the acceptance that He may have sent it, ultimately surrendering to His will. It echoes the prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane, emphasizing submission over personal desire. The message is one of faith and surrender, trusting God's goodness regardless of circumstances.
