Worth It
Lecrae Kierra Sheard Jawan Harris Lyrics

It's just a little dirt, it's just a little stain
Mistakes are small and don't define your worth

Trust me, you're still worth it
You are valuable no matter what you've done

Just goin' through the pain
Difficulty is temporary and makes you stronger

It's just a little tear, don't you worry, God is here
God is present and helps you through hard times

Don't be so hard on yourself, don't be so hard on yourself
Don't be too critical of yourself, give yourself a break

Listen, now you gon' have to explain to me how the Lord love a little sinner like me
Asking how God could love someone who has made mistakes

I've been over-stressin', I've been second guessin'
Feeling anxious and unsure about decisions made

I was on them Xan's for a second, I was feelin' so defeated
Using drugs to cope with feelings of failure

I thought I was a leader
Believing to be successful and a role model, but failing

Hurt so many people, all I see is teardrops when I try to go to sleep
Feeling guilty for hurting others and struggling to sleep because of it

I heard you had a soft spot for the black sheep
Knowing that God has a soft spot for those who have gone astray

Offer me forgiveness while I struggle to receive it
Struggling to accept forgiveness and move on from past mistakes

Now would you still love me if I took her home last night?
Wondering if God would still love despite making bad choices

Smokin' and sippin' on that Patrón last night?
Engaging in harmful behaviors like smoking and drinking

If I was poppin' pills tryna cop a thrill?
Using drugs for pleasure or escape despite knowing it's wrong

And I know I'm wrong but I do it 'cause it feels so right
Knowing that actions are wrong, but doing them anyway because it brings temporary pleasure

Would I, would I still be a child?
Questioning if he would still be considered a child of God despite mistakes

And would you still be around?
Wondering if God would still be present during difficult times

If I'm sick of church and tired of prayin'?
Feeling frustrated with religion and not wanting to pray

It's been a while, I'm hopin' that you're patient
Asking for God's patience and understanding during a tough time

Uh, she prolly too hard on herself (self)
A girl being too critical of herself

She put the blame all on herself (self)
Taking responsibility for things outside of her control

She run into the arms of another man ('nother man)
Seeking comfort and love from someone else

And she done gave her heart to another man ('nother man)
Giving love and trust to others despite past hurt and pain

She know she ain't the woman that she wanna be
Recognizing that she is not living up to her true potential

Can't look in the mirror 'cause she don't see what she wanna see
Struggling with self-image and low self-esteem

She gave her love away too many times
Giving love to people who didn't deserve it or appreciate it

Heard too many lies, she don't got no tears left to cry, yeah
Being hurt by others so much that crying is impossible

Somewhere, she got a little child, but
Hinting at the responsibility or guilt of having a child

She ain't see him in a while, now
Not spending enough time with her child

She gave her baby to the system
Putting her child up for adoption or in foster care

Dealin' with her demons, she was fightin' her addiction
Battling inner struggles and addiction

And this is all fact, not fiction
The struggles described are true and not made up

Prayin' that the Lord could really fix it
Turning to God for help and healing

Said the last time was the last time
Deciding to turn away from bad habits

But the last time got her feelin' like the Devil's mistress, but listen
Struggling to completely change and feeling trapped in addiction

It's not easy, when you gotta face yourself
It's difficult to confront your own flaws and mistakes

Truth is, I don't deserve not one bit of help
Feeling undeserving of forgiveness and help

Promise that your lovin' never leave
Believing that God's love is everlasting and will never disappear

Once you've seen all of me
Acknowledging God's knowledge of all actions and thoughts

It's just so hard to believe it all but for grace
Struggling to comprehend God's love and forgiveness

To trust you more (trust you more)
Slowly building trust in God and His unconditional love

To love you more (to love you more)
Learning to love God more deeply

To know I'm yours
Embracing the fact that one belongs to God

You say, "but I was abused"
Bringing up past trauma and abuse

He got greater grace
Believing that God's love and forgiveness is greater than past wrongdoings

You say, "But I was misused"
Bringing up past mistreatment

But He gives greater grace
Emphasizing God's ability to forgive and embrace despite past mistakes

"But you don't understand, I've been addicted for years"
Explaining the struggle with addiction

Yeah, but think of all the years of your addiction, add 'em together
Putting the years of addiction into perspective

And the verse still says, 'He gives greater grace' (grace)
Reiterating the power of God's forgiveness and grace
