Painful But Necessary

Wished I could hide it

Wished I could make it go away

Painful memories

Just seem to haunt me Day by day

I wanna be strong but sometimes I'm weak

Please tell me please Lord why me

And these are the words He begins to speak

I know my child

It was painful but necessary

Now sometimes I struggle

Trying to reach my destiny

All my failures seemed to be staring back at me

I wanna move on but fear is holding me

The hurt from my past won't let go of me

And these are the words He begins to speak

I know my child

It was painful but necessary

It had to rain so that you could grow

If there'd been no pain

How else would you know

There's some things I allow

To bring you closer to me

Sometimes painful

Painful but necessary

Now learning my past

Doesn't dictate my future

And for every problem

God's got a solution

Things had to change so that I could be

Everything that He'd spoken to me

Now I trust that He knows

Just what's best for me

Sometimes painful

Painful but necessary

It had to rain so that you could grow

If there'd been no pain

How else would you know

There's some things I allow

To bring you closer to me

Tho sometimes painful

It's Painful but necessary

Said it was painful but necessary
