Lyrics
Verse 1
Covered in darkness
Buried in doubt
The cross I carry
Is tearing me down
I try to rise up
Stand my own ground
But everything I’ve trusted
Is failing me now
Pre-Chorus 1
But you break through stone
And you show me your
Love was always here
Then you pull me close
And let me know
What I long to hear
Chorus
I am worth it x2
In my moment of shame
There you found me just to say
I am worth it
Tag
I hear you say I am worth it x3
Come heal the hurt it x3
[Repeat]
Verse 2
Tell me your promise
Remind me of how
You’ll never leave me
You won’t fail me now
Pre-chorus 2
Cause you break through stone
And you show me your
Love was always here
Then you pull me close
And let me know
What I long to hear
BRIDGE
Cause I’m embarrassed of my weakness
I feel tarnished and so damaged
But your love rescues me from wreckage
Yeah you promise I am precious

Meaning & Inspiration
"Worth" moves from darkness, doubt, and shame toward a secured sense of value in God's love. The opening verses describe failed self-reliance: the burden is too heavy, and the things that once seemed trustworthy are giving way. The response is not a claim of new personal strength but an encounter with a divine love that was already present.
The chorus repeats the declaration "I am worth it" as an answer to condemnation. The tag asks for hurt to be healed, while the second verse holds to the promise that God will not abandon or fail. The bridge names weakness and damage yet does not give them the final word. Rescue, nearness, and the assurance of being precious define the song's view of worth.
