Pain!
U.S. Armed Forces Lyrics

Right now I hear
Although I am currently listening, I want to see and experience something tangible

But I wanna see
I desire a visual representation of something rather than only hearing it

I need you to show me
I require guidance or assistance in order to truly comprehend or understand something

You bottle my tears
You are collecting my emotional distress and using it to motivate or teach me

Pain is the key
Suffering or hardship is a necessary component to achieving spiritual enlightenment or personal growth

To making me Holy
The pain I experience will bring me closer to a state of spiritual purity or righteousness

Dark clouds in the sky turn into rain
Difficult times or situations can lead to an outpouring of emotions or negative circumstances

I know you wanna cry from the hurt and pain
You may feel overwhelmed by your emotions or physical suffering

It's hard to see God in the eye of the hurricane
During chaotic or tumultuous times, it may be difficult to maintain faith or belief in a higher power

And so you wanna turn away from this chapter in your life wanna turn the page
You may wish to move past your current struggles or leave them behind completely

It's the hard knock life and the earth's decaying
Living on this planet can be challenging and brutal, with many physical and societal obstacles

Trying hard not to murmur and complain
Attempting to avoid negative or critical speech despite difficult circumstances

It's easier said than done with those hunger pangs
Although it may be simple to suggest, it can be incredibly difficult to endure hunger and malnutrition

You can't even buy your son Burger King
Your financial struggles have made it challenging to provide even basic necessities for your children

Just got laid off so currently
You have recently lost your job, adding significant stress to your life

Trying to make ends meet and that's a further strain
Attempting to pay for basic expenses with limited resources is causing additional pressure and anxiety

I know you're stressed out gotta learn to pray
You are experiencing significant stress and may benefit from incorporating prayer into your daily routine

So God can give you peace for the burdens laid
Through prayer or faith, you may find relief from the heavy responsibilities or problems that you carry

Down at his feet where the servants lay
At the feet of God, one can find humility and servitude

He loves you, so don't turn away
God has great affection for you and it would be detrimental to ignore or reject His guidance

You in the fire, but won't burn in the flame
Although you are experiencing difficulty, you will not be completely consumed or destroyed by adversity

I know it's cold in the winter months
The winter season can be difficult or uncomfortable due to the cold weather

And I know that that trial you in the middle of
You are currently experiencing a difficult or challenging circumstance

Man I know it might feel like a little much
The situation you are facing could feel overwhelming or excessive

I know it might feel like a little much
Experiencing hardship or adversity can be emotionally taxing and draining

And though deliverance is slow like the little bus
Overcoming obstacles or achieving success may take time and patience

Don't faint stand firm no givin' up
Do not give up or lose hope, instead remain steadfast and resolute

Understand that, God won't give you more than you can bear
God will not present you with a challenge or difficulty that surpasses your ability to manage or overcome

Your trials are just little cubs
Your difficulties are minor or small in comparison to what you are capable of handling

Big Him, big plan, man little us
God has a grand plan that we are part of, but in comparison to Him, we are small and insignificant

I know the season in your life is a little rough
You are experiencing a challenging time in your life

I know you're drinking up strife from the bitter cup
You are currently facing difficult or bitter circumstances

God is painting a picture of
God is creating a work of art or masterpiece through your life experiences, including pain and struggle

Himself, so it's gotta be beautiful
God is using your life experiences to create something beautiful that glorifies Him

He's gotta use bright colors and muted tones
God incorporates both joyful and difficult elements into your life experiences to create a complete and beautiful masterpiece

Gotta use life's comforts and funerals
God uses both positive and negative aspects of life, including blessings and grief, to create a beautiful work of art

I know it hurts, but it helps you to grow
Although painful or difficult, challenging experiences can promote personal growth and development

Praise God that the Father is forming us
We can express gratitude that God is intentionally shaping us and nurturing our spiritual growth

Shaping, making, and conforming us
God is actively molding and refining us into the individuals He has designed us to be

So at times our pain is to grow us up
At times, painful or challenging experiences are used to encourage personal growth and maturity

Other times my pain is for someone else
Occasionally, our personal suffering can benefit or help others in some way

Cause death in me is life in you
The death or loss that I experience may have a positive impact on others, potentially contributing to their growth or health

That's what we see when He died for you
The death of Jesus had a far-reaching impact, including saving the lives of others and providing a source of inspiration and guidance

'Cause one man's pain is another's pleasure
Suffering or sacrifice on one individual's part may also benefit or support another person's needs or growth

Just as one man's trash is another's treasure
What may be unnecessary or unwanted for one individual may be incredibly valuable or needed by another

'Cause sometimes God will cause the pain
God may introduce pain or difficulty into our lives to facilitate growth or other positive outcomes

He'll create the fire and the rain
God may use both adverse and positive experiences to create a beautiful and meaningful work in our lives

I hear you praying Lord take it all away
You may be desperately seeking relief from your struggles or hardships and are praying for resolution or rescue

But if He won't it's because He knows what it takes
If God does not relieve you from your difficulties, it is because He understands what is needed in order for you to achieve personal growth or enlightenment

To produce fruit and make his people whole
God may be intentionally guiding our lives to encourage emotional or spiritual growth, leading to a sense of wholeness or completeness

He knows when pressure is applied to coal
Similar to how coal must undergo intense heat and pressure to produce diamonds, God may use hardship or adversity to further refine and develop us

A beautiful diamond is the goal
The end result of God's refining process is a beautiful and valuable product that is a reflection of Him

You're in the fire but you're coming out as pure gold
Although you may be experiencing significant hardship or adversity, the end result will be a valuable and beautiful reflection of God's handiwork

See I think it's important for us to have a big picture
It is beneficial for us to consider the larger context or scope of our experiences and how they contribute to personal growth and development

Perspective on pain. A lot of times, we see pain as a bad
Frequently, we view suffering or discomfort as a negative or undesirable thing

Thing, trials, suffering, you see it as a bad thing. But when
We often associate trial, difficulty, or pain as a negative or unwelcome experience, but when

We look in the scriptures, we see that God prescribes pain.
Through the Bible, we can see that God uses or allows suffering or hardship to promote spiritual growth or personal development

He doesn't just allow it he causes it sometimes, read
God may intentionally cause or introduce pain or difficulty into our lives in order to facilitate personal growth

Deuteronomy chapter 8. But it's so necessary, because in it
The book of Deuteronomy emphasizes the importance of hardship or adversity as a tool for personal growth and development

He conforms us into the image and the likeness of His Son.
Through pain and adversity, God is able to mold us and refine us into individuals who better reflect the image of Jesus

So I just wanna encourage the people of God, please understand
I want to offer encouragement and support to those who may be currently facing difficult situations

That God is using your pain for His own glory.
God may be employing your suffering or hardship in order to achieve a greater purpose or to advance His plans and goals
