I (Kierstyn) wrote "Worth It" when my singer, Emma, decided to quit her job in order to pursue music with me full time. We both felt that we needed to obey the Lord and His calling even if it meant financial instability. Since then, God has continually provided for our needs in amazing ways, and "Worth It" has been a testament to the truth that when we are obedient to the Lord's calling, He will supply all of our needs in Christ Jesus.
lyrics
Stay safe, just stay close
Suppress the voice telling you to grow
A normal life, security
Tempting all the weakest parts of me
I can’t escape this call, so many times I’ve tried
A life of comfort and you’re telling me I have to say goodbye
I needed saving and you were the sacrifice
You never said this would be easy
You are the reason
I won’t look back at yesterdays
Leaving familiar
‘Cause I know that you’re worth it all
What will you make, will this succeed?
My confidence hides my unbelief
You don’t have time, who do you know?
I make my plans just to let them go
Oh
I can’t escape this call, so many times I’ve tried
A life of comfort and you’re telling me it’s time to say goodbye
You ask for everything, you ask for sacrifice
I don’t have much but take my pieces
You are the reason
I won’t look back at yesterdays
Leaving familiar
‘Cause I know that you’re worth
All of the desire I have for admiration
Every fear I’ll never be enough for them
(Oh influence, you’re worth it all
Security, you’re worth it all
Worldly things, you’re worth it all
My suffering, you’re worth it all
The plans I make, you’re worth it all
The breath I take, you’re worth it all)
And all of my dreams
I lay down at the will of the King
(Influence, you’re worth it all
Security, you’re worth it all
Worldly things, you’re worth it all
My suffering)
You are the reason
You are the reason
You are the reason
You are the reason
Influence, you’re worth it all
Security, you’re worth it all
Worldly things, you’re worth it all
My suffering, you’re worth it all
Influence, you’re worth it all
Security, you’re worth it all
Worldly things, you’re worth it all
My suffering, you’re worth it all
