Worthy of the days

[instrumental]

(Verse 1) 
Not in gold, not in fleeting fame, 
Not in titles they carve by my name. 
But in hands I’ve lifted, the kindness I’ve sown, 
In the seeds of wisdom I’ve humbly grown.

(Pre-Chorus) 
Every poet who bled for the words they believed, 
Every healer who stayed though their heart had to grieve, 
Every dreamer who dared though the night felt too long— 
Their echoes still rise in the world like a song.

(Chorus) 
I wanna be worthy of the days I’m given, 
To love with a fire, to build what is hidden. 
To stand where the fearless once carried the light, 
And leave behind something that outlives the night.

(Verse 2) 
It’s in lifting the lost, it’s in breaking the chains, 
In the artist who paints through unspeakable pain. 
In the teacher who gives without fortune or gold, 
In the mother who fights though her story’s untold.

(Pre-Chorus) 
Every builder who carved out a home from the stone, 
Every seeker who walked into lands unknown, 
Every rebel who rose when the world said to kneel— 
Their voices remind us that meaning is real.

(Chorus) 
I wanna be worthy of the days I’m given, 
To rise with a purpose, to shape how we’re living. 
Not measured in riches, but lives that I’ve touched, 
The echoes I leave when I’ve given enough.

(Verse 3) 
But who holds the scales, who writes the decree? 
Who tells me what "worthy" is meant to be? 
If I look inside, I just find my own view, 
And I know that the standard must be something true.

(Bridge) 
Maybe the measure of life isn’t time, 
But the love we give and the mountains we climb. 
In justice pursued, in truth that we speak, 
In wisdom we pass to the hopeful and weak.

(Outro) 
But how do I find what is greater than me, 
A meaning beyond what my own eyes can see? 
Maybe the prayers that my Grandma once prayed, 
Hold more than her voice in the words that she laid.

She whispered of grace, of a love that won’t fade, 
Of a God who had shaped me before I was made. 
Perhaps this deep longing, this ache in my soul, 
Is really a calling to come and be whole.

(Final verse)
So I’ll walk with purpose, I’ll love with grace, 
Not just for this world, but for more than this place. 
When my time is done, may I finally see, 
That a worthy life is a life found in Thee.
