“Growing Pains” by Elevation Rhythm has a good youth group vibe to it. This song is about the fact that pain is a part of life and follows us as humans and believers. It also talks about how to get over that pain and that it will pass with time.
Faith has its peaks, but sometimes our faith runs low. As long as we keep our eyes on the prize, we can believe that it won’t always be this way.
“Everything gon’ be okay, It won’t always be this way, At my worst, when it hurts, I won’t be afraid.”
This feels like a good song to sing out loud when you feel like things aren’t going your way, or something unexpected happened. It’s an impactful song about remembering that God is in control. No matter what happens, we can always turn to the Lord in times of trouble.
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

LYRICS
Why do I Fear what I cannot control in my life? Why do I Forget that the fire is how I’m refined?
I try, and I try, and I try To keep pressing on with hopes high But sometimes I fall, God, through it all I know you’ll be my side There’s no guarantee in this life Yeah, trouble’s a matter of time But you’re in control, that’s how I know
Everything gon’ be okay It won’t always be this way At my worst, when it hurts, I won’t be afraid Sometimes, faith has growing pains
You’re the light Leading me on through the depth of the night You’re the prize Waiting for me at the end of this life
So, I try, and I try, and I try To keep pressing on with hopes high But sometimes I fall, God, through it all I know you’ll be my side There’s no guarantee in this life Yeah, trouble’s a matter of time But you’re in control, that’s how I know
Everything gon’ be okay (okay) It won’t always be this way (it won’t always be this way) At my worst, when it hurts, I won’t be afraid (no, no, no) Sometimes, faith has growing pains
Yeah, everything gon’ be okay (okay, yeah) This will all make sense one day At my worst, when it hurts, I won’t be afraid
Sometimes, faith has growing pains Sometimes, faith has growing pains Sometimes, faith has growing pains There’s no gain without the pain (learning to trust You) Sometimes, faith has growing pains
Everything gon’ be okay, okay (okay, yeah) It won’t always be this way (this way) At my worst, when it hurts, I won’t be afraid ‘Cause I know Sometimes, faith has growing pains
Yeah, everything gon’ be okay This will all make sense one day (it’s gonna make sense) At my worst, when it hurts, I won’t be afraid (don’t be afraid) Sometimes, faith has growing pains
Better believe it Before you can see it (before you can see it) Before you can feel it Walking through fire Keep facing the giant (facing the giant) ‘Cause faith is a fire, oh
