Lyrics
Verse 1
I wasn't prepared for this kind've storm
And now I have questions and fears that I've never had before (I've never had before)
Now I have a choice to face this myself
Or look for the story of grace and redemption You want to tell (Want to tell)
Pre-Chorus
In this moment, I will say
Chorus
I am not wasting a single day
I won't let these chances all slip away
I know that I'll make the most of
Every trial and valley low
Give me the faith to live life with no regrets
And I'll make the most of it
Verse 2
So open my eyes to all that You see
Turn all of my walls into doors and the pain into possibilities
Chorus
I am not wasting a single day
I won't let these chances all slip away
I know that I'll make the most of
Every trial and valley low
Give me the faith to live life with no regrets
And I'll make the most of it
I'll make the most of it
Pre-Chorus
In this moment, I will sing
Chorus
I am not wasting a single day
I won't let these chances all slip away
I know that I'll make the most of
Every trial and valley low (Valley low)
Give me the faith to live life with no regrets
And I'll make the most of it
I'll make the most
I'll make the most of
I'll make the most
I'll make the most of
I'll make the most
I'll make the most of it

Meaning & Inspiration
Make The Most of It approaches hardship as a place where faith can remain active. The opening verse admits fear, unanswered questions, and a storm for which the singer felt unprepared. Instead of presenting easy certainty, the lyric names a choice between facing pain alone and looking for a story of grace and redemption that God can bring from it.
The chorus turns that choice into a prayerful resolve not to waste the opportunities found within trials and low valleys. Its request for faith and a life without regret does not celebrate suffering itself; it seeks wisdom to respond faithfully while suffering is present. The second verse extends this idea through images of opened eyes, walls becoming doors, and pain becoming possibility. These lines fit closely with New Testament teaching about endurance producing mature character. Across its repeated chorus, the song frames adversity as an occasion for trust, attentiveness, and faithful action rather than despair or passivity.
