Lyrics
Verse 1
People come
People go
Your life has been
Out of control
You're confused
Don't worry your soul
Chorus
It will get better
Better
It will get better
Better
It will get better
God is in control
Verse 2
Find your praise
Within your heart
Hold it close
Don't ever depart
It gets cold in the night
But you'll be alright
Chorus (Repeat)
It will get better
Better
It will get better
Better
It will get better
God is in control
Bridge
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
Chorus (Repeat)
It will get better
Better...
God He's in control...

Meaning & Inspiration
“It Will Get Better” by Hezekiah Walker is a gospel song of encouragement for a person whose life feels out of control. The opening verse says people come and go, the listener is confused, and the advice is not to worry: “It will get better. God is in control.” That line is repeated as a simple chorus.
The second verse tells the listener to find the praise within the heart and hold it close, noting that the night can get cold but the singer will be all right. The bridge turns personal: whatever state the singer is in, he has learned to be secure, knowing God will supply every need and work things out for good.
Those lines are close to Philippians 4:11-12 and 4:19, and to Romans 8:28. The song ends with the repeated assurance that God is in control. Its message is steady comfort in uncertain times.
