Lyrics
I know that you don't feel your best
Hold on, Be strong,
God's not forgotten you
Broken dreams got you feeling blue
Hold on, be strong
God's looking out for you
Just remember at the end of the day
The favor of God can open the way
God's favor, is more precious than life
(God's favor, more precious, than life, to me)
I know that you don't feel up to the fight
Hold on, be strong
The battle is not up to you
Oh I hear you say, it just ain't no way
Hold on, be strong
God's got the final say
Just remember in the midst of your down
The favor of God can turn things around
God's favor more precious than life
(God's favor, more precious, than life, to me)
So what if doors are closed
God's favor can bring high places down
I know that you've been faithful
God will remember when others forget
And when God get's ready to bless you
There is nothing no man can do
God's favor, more precious than life

Meaning & Inspiration
“God's Favor” offers encouragement to someone facing exhaustion, disappointment, and apparently closed doors. Its recurring command to hold on and remain strong rests on the conviction that God has neither forgotten nor abandoned the struggling person. The lyric does not deny broken dreams or the difficulty of the fight. Instead, it places those troubles beneath God's authority and presents divine favor as able to make a way where none seems visible.
The claim that God's favor is more precious than life closely parallels Psalm 63:3, where God's steadfast love is described as better than life. The image of favor surrounding the faithful also recalls Psalm 5:12. These connections support the song's central confidence that circumstances and human opposition do not have the final word. Its message is one of patient endurance: remembrance, blessing, and a changed situation remain within God's power even when immediate evidence appears discouraging.
