Worth It All
Rita Springer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't understand your ways
Oh but I will give you my song
give you all of my praise
you hold on to all my pain
with it you are pulling me closer
and pulling me into your ways

Now around every corner

up every mountain
I'm not looking for crowns
or water from fountains
I'm desperate in seeking, frantic believing
that the sight of your face
is all that I'm needing
I will say to you

Its gonna be worth it,
Its gonna be worth it all,
I believe this.
Its gonna be worth it,

Its gonna be worth it all,
I believe this.

Overall Meaning

Rita Springer's 'Worth It All' is a stirring confession of trust and devotion to God. The opening lines, "I don't understand your ways / Oh but I will give you my song," indicate the singer's recognition of the limits of human understanding and the surrender of her heart to God through praise. The lyrics celebrate God's faithfulness in holding on to the pains and struggles of life and using them to draw the singer closer to Him. The repeated line, "It's gonna be worth it all, I believe this," confirms the singer's conviction that whatever hardships she may face in life, they will be more than worth it in the end because of her faith in God.

The second half of the song speaks to the singer's sense of urgency and desperation in her relationship with God. The lines, "I'm not looking for crowns / or water from fountains," suggest that the singer is not interested in material rewards or superficial spirituality, but is seeking a deeper, personal connection with God. She is "desperate in seeking, frantic believing," and believes that the ultimate reward of her search is simply to see God's face. This sentiment is expressed in the final verse, in which the singer says to God, "I will say to you / It's gonna be worth it, / It's gonna be worth it all, / I believe this."
