Golden
Ross King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think it's too soon to write this
I'm still in the grip of the crisis
If this is part of making me righteous
I might just
Need a little courage to fight this

Honestly, I feel a little bit like Job
Though I know he had it worse than me
Facing opposition everywhere I go
Like somebody's cursing me

And I'm afraid
I lack the faith
For the road ahead
I try to follow You, but I don't know where You went

I go to the East
I go to the West
And still, I'm not finding You
In the North and the South
I'm chasing You down
Like somebody's hiding You
But I know You know the way
I go and You won't leave me broken
Through it all, You're making me golden

So I'll stand up and face it
I got a chance and I don't wanna waste it
Sometimes, grace can be a little abrasive
But if I embrace it, it'll sharpen up my dull places
I'm trying not to focus on how cruel the universe can be
I'm looking for a reason to believe I'm wrong
Like somebody's cursing me

But I refuse to listen to
All the voices in my head
But instead, I keep praying the words that Job said

I go to the East
I go to the West
And still, I'm not finding You
In the North and the South
I'm chasing You down
Like somebody's hiding You
But I know You know the way
I go and You won't leave me broken
Through it all, You're making me golden

Golden
Golden
Golden

When it hurts so bad
When it all comes crashing down
When we start from scratch
See what we can live without
In the end, I know
It'll all be gold
While I wait for that
I don't look back

I go to the East
I go to the West
And still, I'm not finding You
In the North and the South
I'm chasing You down
Like somebody's hiding You
But I know You know the way
I go and You won't leave me broken
Through it all, You're making me golden

Golden
Through it all, You're making me golden

Overall Meaning

The song "Golden" by Ross King talks about the struggles and doubts he faces while trying to follow and trust in God who sometimes seems to be hiding from him. He feels that he is facing opposition and curses everywhere he goes, and he lacks faith for the road ahead. He relates to Job, who faced numerous difficulties, yet never lost faith in God. In the chorus, he seeks God in all directions and seems to be chasing Him down. But, he also knows that God knows the way and won't leave him broken. Consequently, as he waits, he believes that God is making him golden.


The lyrics are deeply contemplative, with King expressing his doubts and outwardly seeking guidance from God. However, he also realizes that he needs to have the courage to fight this spiritual battle to become righteous, and that embracing grace will sharpen his dull places. The song's message focuses on the importance of faith, perseverance, and waiting for God's perfect timing.
