When It’s Not Okay, But You’re Still Here
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9
Sometimes life hits hard. Some days we’re tired, we can barely stand, and life feels heavier than we planned. But here’s the beautiful truth: it’s okay to not be okay — as long as we’re still here.
The Song
This worship song captures the raw honesty of the Christian faith. It’s not about pretending to have it all together — it’s about bringing our mess to Jesus and holding on to His promises.
Key lyrics:
“Some days I’m tired, I can barely stand Life feels heavy, more than I plan But you said I’ll never walk away So I hold on to what you say”
“Lord, I’m not okay, but I’m still here”
Connection to 1st Corinthians
Paul wrote to the Corinthians about love being patient, kind, not envious or proud. But he also wrote about something else: perseverance.
“Love never fails.” (1 Corinthians 13:8)
And later:
“Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13)
The song embodies this — even when we’re broken, even when our hope runs low, we’re still here. That’s what love does. It keeps showing up.
It’s Okay to Not Be Okay
Too often, the church pretends to have it all together. But this song breaks that mold. It’s honest. It’s real. It says:
- “My heart feels broken, my hope runs low”
- “I don’t have answers, but this I know”
- “You promise I’m close when you’re hurting”
That’s the Fruits of the Spirit in action:
- Patience — Holding on even when it’s hard
- Faithfulness — God never walks away
- Gentleness — His arms are strong, His heart is kind
The Promise
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
When we bring our mess to Jesus, He gives us His best. His arms are strong. His heart is kind. Peace — like we’ve been trying to find.
The song says it best: “Lord, I’m not okay, but I’m still here.”
And that’s enough.
