Song Meaning
This song wrestles with the human urge to box God into manageable categories, only to find peace in letting go of that need. The opening lines admit the failure to define or fully understand the divine, and the refrain 'I'm okay with that' becomes a posture of humble acceptance. The lyrics contrast our limited frameworks—borders of imagination, walls of upbringing, cultural constraints—with a God who transcends them all. A striking turn comes when the singer expects shame but receives mercy, and holiness attempts fall short yet are met with divine presence. The bridge sharpens the critique: treating God as changeable or breakable, making an idol of our own reasoning, while pointing to the empty ark and tomb as evidence of a reality beyond our constructs. Ultimately, the song lands on a repeated affirmation of God's goodness, suggesting that surrender to mystery is not defeat but a doorway to awe and love. It echoes the biblical theme of God's ways being higher than ours, inviting listeners to release their mental idols and embrace a faith that thrives in uncertainty.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I have done my best to define You
But I can't and I'm okay with that
I have done my best to understand You
But I can't and I'm okay with that
'Cause You don't fit inside the borders of my wild imagination
You don't live inside the walls of the church that I was raised in
You're not bound by time or culture, You define Your own existence
You are God, and I'm in love with that
You destroy my simplest assumptions
You're not tamed and I'm okay with that
Your fullness cannot fit in my perspective
You're too fast and I'm okay with that
Oh, when I expected shame, You only ever showed me mercy
All my expectations fall apart before the One who's worthy
I have tried and failed at holiness, but You still come and meet me
You are good, and I'm undone by that
As if You could be changed
As if You could be redefined
The ark and tomb are empty
I made an idol of my mind
As if You could be cased
As if You could be broken in
I put the light into the dark
And assume my religion
You're not tamed
And I'm okay with that
So good, so good
(You are, You are
You are, You are
You are, You are good)
