Still Here

I’ve walked through fire, and the smoke still stays,
Tried to smile through the ashes of my yesterdays.
Sometimes I wonder if You see me cry,
I pray out loud, but my soul asks why.

[Pre-Chorus]
But every time I break, You hold my heart again,
You whisper through the silence, “Child, this ain’t the end.”

[Chorus]
I’m still here — by Your mercy, not my strength,
Still breathing — by Your grace, not my chance.
Though my tears have names, You’ve counted every one,
I’m still here, Lord… I’m still here.

[Verse 2]
They said I’d fall, and I almost did,
But You found me trembling where the shadows hid.
My body’s tired, but my spirit knows,
You write Your glory in my scars that show.

[Pre-Chorus]
You turn my pain to prayers, my fear to songs,
You remind my heart it’s You where I belong.

[Chorus]
I’m still here — by Your mercy, not my strength,
Still standing — though the world makes no sense.
Every time I lose, You call me son again,
I’m still here, Lord… I’m still here.

[Bridge]
When my friends walked away, You stayed,
When I cursed my life, You forgave.
I thought the night would never fade,
But You painted my morning with grace.

[Final Chorus]
I’m still here — and I know You never left,
Still singing — through this storm and every test.
If pain’s the price of knowing You near,
Then I’ll bear it, Lord… I’m still here.

[Outro]
Mmm… still here.
Not by might, not by pride,
Just by mercy… still here.
