God, I’m Not Okay but I’m Still Here

I smile when I’m breaking

Stay strong when I’m weak

Say “I’m fine” through the aching

Hide tears no one sees

But You’ve been there in the silence

Where no spotlight ever shone

You see the fight I never mentioned

And You still call me Your own

God, I’m not okay but I’m still here

Holding on through every quiet tear

When the world moves on, You stay near

You don’t need me to pretend

You just sit with me again

God, I’m not okay… but I’m still here

I show up when I’m empty

Sing songs when I’m numb

Try praying when the words

Just don’t seem to come

But You’re not looking for perfection

Just my barely-holding-on

You’re the Shepherd in my questions

The strength when I am gone

God, I’m not okay but I’m still here

Breathing through the doubt and hidden fear

You don’t need my polished prayer

You just need my quiet heart

You’ve loved me from the start

God, I’m not okay… but I’m still here

If all I bring is brokenness

That’s enough for You

You never left my side

You never needed proof

God, I’m not okay but I’m still here

And somehow You still draw me near

You’re the hope I cling to in my tears

You don’t ask me to be fine

You just whisper: “You are mine”

God, I’m not okay… but I’m still here
