Lyrics
Verse 1
Have you ever had one of those days
When nothing really goes your way
Then you see it wasn't meant to
You get a new view, yeah, yeah
Everybody has sleepless nights
Lost in the worry will it work out all right
Feels like I'm going crazy
Stressed out, praying, yeah, yeah
Pre-Chorus
I know it's not a lot, know it's not a lot (but I)
I give You all I've got, give You all I've got ('cause I)
I know it's true, I can count on You
Chorus
I don't know the way, but You got this
Gimme the faith, that You got this
Even today, You got this
I know that I know, God I know that
You got this
You got this
Verse 2
Caught up in the same mistakes
You catch my fall
When I fall on my face
I'm learning slowly
God, You show me, yeah yeah
There's a better way, there's a better way (but I)
I give You everything, give You everything ('cause I)
I know it's true, I can count on You
Chorus
I don't know the way, but You got this
Gimme the faith, that You got this
Even today, You got this
I know that I know, God I know that
You got this
You got this

Gimme the faith, that You got this
Even today, You got this

Meaning & Inspiration
You Got This is a trust song that places worry and weakness in God's hands. The first verse describes days when nothing goes right and sleepless nights lost in worry, then admits the singer feels stressed out and praying. The pre-chorus says the offering is small, giving God all the singer has, because the singer knows God can be counted on.
The chorus is a plain confession, "I don't know the way, but You got this," paired with a request for faith. The second verse owns mistakes and says God catches the fall and shows a better way, and the bridge uses breathing in and out as a call to shout the trust aloud. The lines echo Proverbs 3:5-6 on trusting without leaning on understanding, 1 Peter 5:7 on casting anxiety on Him, and Psalm 37:24 on being upheld when falling. The simple, repeated hook gives the song an honest, relieved and encouraging tone.
