Hezekiah Walker - Better Lyrics
Lyrics
People come
People go
Your life has been
Out of control
You're confused
Don't worry your soul
It will get better
Better
It will get better
Better
It will get better
God is in control
Find your praise
Within your heart
Hold it close
Don't ever depart
It gets cold in the night
But you'll be alright
It will get better
Better
It will get better
Better
It will get better
God is in control
Whatever state I find myself in
I learned how to be secure
Knowing that God
Will supply all my needs
And He'll work things out for my good
It will get better
Better
It will get better
Better
It will get better
God is in control
God He's in control...

Meaning & Inspiration
Hezekiah Walker’s 2016 release, "Better," from the album *Azusa the Next Generation 2 - Better*, stands as a profound declaration of unwavering faith in the face of life's inevitable turbulence. The song directly addresses the feeling of being overwhelmed and out of control, acknowledging the confusion and distress that arise when circumstances seem to spiral. This initial recognition of struggle is crucial, as it grounds the subsequent message of hope in relatable human experience. The core of "Better" is its powerful affirmation that despite the shifting sands of life, there is an anchor of divine sovereignty. The repeated refrain, "It will get better, God is in control," is more than a simple optimistic slogan; it’s a theological assertion rooted in the biblical understanding of God’s omnipresence and ultimate authority. This echoes the reassurance found in passages like Philippians 4:6-7, which encourages believers to cast their anxieties on God, promising that His peace will guard their hearts and minds.
The lyrics further guide the listener towards a proactive stance of faith, urging them to "find your praise within your heart" and to "hold it close, don't ever depart." This internal cultivation of worship is presented not as a passive reaction to good fortune, but as an active spiritual discipline that sustains through difficult times, much like the Apostle Paul’s exhortation to give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:18). The imagery of enduring "cold in the night" but knowing "you'll be alright" speaks to the resilience that comes from an intimate relationship with God, reminiscent of Psalm 23, where the Lord is depicted as a shepherd who guides and protects His flock even through the valley of the shadow of death. The verse, "Whatever state I find myself in, I learned how to be secure, knowing that God will supply all my needs and He'll work things out for my good," directly reflects the promises found in Romans 8:28, which assures believers that in all things, God works for the good of those called according to His purpose. This is not a superficial optimism, but a deeply ingrained conviction born from an understanding of God's character and His covenant faithfulness. "Better" serves as a spiritual anthem, a testament to the enduring power of faith that looks beyond present troubles to the ultimate triumph promised by a God who remains steadfastly in control.
