Worth Fighting For
Song Meaning
Brian Courtney Wilson quotes 1 Corinthians 2:9 almost directly across the chorus: "eyes haven't seen, ears haven't heard all You have planned for me." Paul's own description of what God has prepared for those who love him becomes, in the song, a personal claim repeated by a full choir rather than only spoken once.
"That's why I'm pressing... towards the mark" lifts Philippians 3:14's image of straining "toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." The song moves through a specific list — family, home, "the calling on my life," a "mansion over in glory" — each one named individually rather than left as a vague category of blessing, worth measured against a cost named directly in the title.
You met me deep in my despair to show me You
Would never leave me there. You claimed
Because I was made for so much more
I am Your child and I'm worth fighting for
Though heavy with the weight of my mistakes
You carried me and refused to let me sink under the pressure
You meant for me to soar. I am Your child
And I'm worth fighting for. Eyes haven't seen
Ears haven't heard all You have planned
For me and nothing can separate me from
Your love when there's so much
More still worth fighting for
Now I'm moving by faith and not by
Sight towards victory by the power of Your might
You're straightening out my path and opening
Every door. I am Your child and I'm worth fighting for
[Choir:]
Eyes haven't seen. Ears haven't heard
All You have planned for me and nothing
Can separate me from Your love when
There's so much more still worth fighting for [x2]
That's why I'm pressing
[Choir:]
It's worth it
towards the mark
So worth it
Cause the calling
On my life is worth fighting for
[Choir:] oooh fighting for
And I'll keep my mind
[Choir:]
It's worth it
Stayed on You Jesus
[Choir:]
So worth it
Because the peace it brings is worth fighting for
[Choir:]
oooh fighting for
And I'll be faithful
[Choir:]
It's worth it
To my wife and children
[Choir:]
So worth it
Because my family
Is worth fighting for
[Choir:]
oooh fighting for
No this world
[Choir:]
It's worth it
is not my home
[Choir:]
So worth it
But Your kingdom
Here is worth fighting for
[Choir:] oooh fighting for
I got a mansion
[Choir:]
It's worth it
Over in glory
[Choir:]
So worth it
And my new home is worth fighting for
[Choir:]
oooh fighting for.
Til I see it I'll shout
[Choir:]
It's worth it.
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Life with You is worth fighting for
[Choir:] oooh fighting for
Eyes haven't seen. Ears haven't heard
There is so much more still worth fighting for[x2]
Hey, hey! If you believe that you' re worth
Fighting for, shout to the Lord
[Choir:]
There is so much more still worth fighting for
