Lyrics
Pre-Chorus
Oh, yeah
If you believe for a little today, you'll believe for a lot tomorrow
If you believe for a little today, you'll believe for a lot tomorrow
If you believe for a little today, you'll believe for a lot tomorrow
It only takes a seed of faith
Let it grow, let it grow
If you believe for a little today, you'll believe for a lot tomorrow
If you believe for a little today, then you'll believe for a lot tomorrow
If you believe for a little today, you'll believe for a lot tomorrow
It only takes a seed of faith
Let it grow, let it grow
Chorus
Let it grow, let it grow
Come on, sing this over your faith, tonight
Let it grow, let it grow
We prophesy tonight
Let it grow, let it grow
You only need a seed of faith, let it grow, let it grow
Faith to move mountains
Let it grow, let it grow
Faith to see the sick made well
Let it grow, let it grow
Faith to see our schools know Jesus
Let it grow, let it grow
Faith in our nation
Let it grow, let it grow
In this generation
Let it grow, let it grow
In our generation
Let it grow, let it grow
In our generation
Let it grow, let it grow
Outro
Everything gon' be okay
It won't always be this way
At my worst, when it hurts, won't be afraid
'Cause sometimes faith has growing pains

Meaning & Inspiration
“Growing Pains Pt. 2” presents faith as something that begins small and develops through pressure. Its repeated seed image links present belief with future growth, while the chorus applies that expectation to healing, schools, a nation, and a generation. The emphasis is communal as well as personal: faith is imagined expanding beyond one individual into public witness and confidence in Jesus.
The seed and mountain language clearly echoes Jesus’ teaching about mustard-seed faith. Rather than measuring faith by its starting size, the lyric stresses its capacity to grow and face what appears immovable. The outro adds a necessary note of realism by admitting hurt and difficult circumstances. Assurance does not erase pain; it answers fear with the conviction that present trouble will not always remain. In that way, the song joins bold expectation with patient endurance, portraying spiritual growth as a process that can include discomfort without surrendering hope.
