[Verse 1]
When you see what God's doing in this
It will be worth it
When you see why He did not say Yes
It will be worth it
On the other side of every test
It's always worth it
I know he has not revealed it yet
Just know that it's worth it
[Chorus]
It will be worth it
Worth it
It will be worth it
Worth it
[Verse 2]
Sick in my body, laid of my job Is it worth it?
Friends on the phone telling me to be strong They say its worth it
In all honesty this don't seem fair to me
Can you choose someone instead of me
In hard times I'm still reminded
How you came through for me
Yes It will be worth it
Worth it
It will be worth it
Worth it
[Bridge]
His ways are different his thoughts not the same
We all want sunshine without any rain
But how would you know that He's all we need
If he didn't allow the pain you will see
It was worth it, just know that it's worth it
His ways are different his thoughts not the same
We all want sunshine without any rain
But how would you know that He's all we need
If he didn't allow the pain you will see
It was worth it, just know that it's worth it
It was worth it, just know that it's worth it
[Outro]
It will all make sense, this is not the end
It will all make sense, this is not the end
It will all make sense, this is not the end
It will all make sense, this is not the end
It will all make sense, this is not the end
It will all make sense, this is not the end
It will all make sense, this is not the end
It will all make sense, this is not the end
It will work out for me
It will work out for me
It will work out for me
It will work out for me
It will work out for me
It will work out for me
It will work out for me
[Chorus]
It will be worth it
Worth it
It will be worth it
Worth it
It will be worth it
Worth it
Worth It
Song Meaning
James Fortune states "Worth It" as a repeated conclusion he hasn't fully earned the right to yet — "when you see what God's doing in this, it will be worth it, when you see why He did not say Yes, it will be worth it" — naming an outcome still ahead of the evidence.
"I know He has not revealed it yet, just know that it's worth it" admits ignorance plainly rather than pretending to already understand, and the second verse gets specific about the cost being weighed — "sick in my body, laid off my job, is it worth it? Friends on the phone telling me to be strong, they say it's worth it" — voicing the question as a genuine one, not rhetorical.
"Can you choose someone instead of me" admits a wish to be relieved of the trial rather than pretending eagerness for it, and "in hard times I'm still reminded how you came through for me" answers present doubt with past evidence instead of a new argument. "His ways are different, his thoughts not the same, we all want sunshine without any rain" borrows Isaiah's own contrast, and the repeated closing declaration, "it will all make sense, this is not the end," lets repetition itself carry the weight of a conclusion the song admits it can't yet fully prove.
