I'm Still Here
Donnie McClurkin's song 'I'm Still Here' is a testimony of God's sustaining grace through life's trials. The lyrics reflect on personal struggles, moments of doubt, and the realization that only God's strength kept the singer going. Despite others' predictions of failure, the singer declares survival and purpose. The song emphasizes gratitude for God's faithfulness, protection, and forgiveness. It echoes the biblical theme of God's sustaining power, similar to Psalm 124:1-2, where the psalmist acknowledges that without the Lord's help, they would have perished. The repeated refrain 'Thank God I'm still here' underscores a heart of thanksgiving and perseverance.
I'm still here, through the story of life
I'm still here, through the pain and the strife
I'm still here, and I can't understand
How I made it this far
Yes, I'm still here and I'll admit there were times
When I thought, thought I was losing my mind
But the Lord came and He gave me the strength
And I made it this far, yes I did
I'm still here, though some said I was done
I'm still here, I've got farther to run
And I can't look behind me again
'Cause I made it, I made it, I made it and I
And I'm sure that I
Would have surely died
If it had not been for God
God on my side
Yes, I survived somehow
And it's too late now
For I know what
Know what God has planned
Will stand, oh
I'm still here, despite what people may say
I'm still here, and I'm crowning today
And it's true, I'm amazed just like you
That I made it, I made it, I made it
Oh, oh, still here (By the grace of God, yeah)
Thank God I'm still here (Well, can you believe it?)
Still here (I guess God can blow my mind)
Thank God, thank God
(Yes, He handles everything, yeah)
Still here
(Look at me, look at me, look at me now)
Thank God I'm still here
(You can't stop me, devil, no)
Still here
(Because the righteous have been praying for me, yeah)
Thank God
Thank God
Still here (Thank you Lord, for keeping me up)
Thank God I'm still here
(You could have let me drown in my sins)
(Yes You could have)
Still here
Thank God
Thank God
Thank you Lord (For what you did)
Thank you Lord (I'm grateful, yeah)
Thank you Lord
Thank you Lord (The way you love me)
Thank you Lord (The way you forgave me)
Thank you Lord
Still here
