Worth It All
Jason Crabb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I started on this journey
So many years ago
I've come through grief and sorrow
As I've traveled down life's road
I've pressed through times of trouble
Got up each time I'd fall
But through tears and disappointments
It's been worth it all

Every heartache, every trial
I'd do it all again
To get to where I'm going
And to stand here where I am
I'm running for the finish line
Should I have to fall
On my knees I claim the victory
Shouting it is worth it all

I see the lights before me
I know I'm nearing home
I know who walks beside me
Cause I've never been alone
Each time my heart grew faint within me
I could hear the Savior call
Travel on a little farther child
It'll soon be worth it all

Repeat X2





I claim the victory
Shouting it is worth it all
