Its Ok
Maverick City Music's 'It's Ok' featuring Chandler Moore and Mav City Gospel Choir is a comforting song that gives listeners permission to be honest about their struggles. It acknowledges feelings of being overwhelmed, weak, and aching, while reassuring that God's love provides space for vulnerability. The lyrics encourage letting go of fear and pretense, emphasizing that it's acceptable to not be okay. The song draws on the biblical idea that God's love allows for honest expression of pain, similar to the Psalms' raw lament. It offers hope and peace to those wrestling with anxiety or grief.
I won't pretend
I'll say what I'm feeling
I'm overwhelmed
Emotions are raging
It's okay (Mm, mm, mm)
To not be okay (Mm, mm, mm)
I won't try to hide (Mm, mm, mm)
Love leaves room for me to say (Mm, mm, mm)
I'm not okay (Mm, mm, mm)
To every fear, every lie (Mm, mm, mm)
I know love leaves room for me (Mm, mm, mm)
You leave room for me, oh
You leave room for me
My flesh is weak, yes, it is
My heart, it is aching
So please, Lord, my God
Lord, never forsake me
And it's okay (Mm, mm, mm)
To not be okay (Mm, mm, mm)
I won't try to hide (Mm, mm, mm)
'Cause love leaves room for me to say (Mm, mm, mm)
