Baliva, Mrs Taylor, Mista - I'm Okay lyrics

I'm okay i'm not going to strive for
The things in this life
Coz it really ain't nothing but hype
I'm okay
With living by the promises of God for me
No matter what the world believes

I'm okay with who I am
You may not understand
The picture’s not perfect
It’s Still a work in progress
These Scars and wounds are
Still part this man
The painter’s not finisheD
His work is so relentless
I’m content with my lot in life
No looking back like lot’s wife
Enjoying the moments of time with
The wife he will provide
They say keep looking up
That’s the secret of life

The lords got me where i am
For a time and a reason
And when i feel lonely
I know he'll give me the
Strength when i pray

Take pleasure in life and yes it's so sweet
Oh, yes but it's just a taste of his kingdom
Take heart when you go through
All those hard times
He’ll give you all the strength all
The comfort and the wisdom

I'm okay i'm not going to strive for
The things in this life
Coz it really ain't nothing but hype
I'm okay
With living by the promises of God for me
No matter what the world believes

I know we want to leave a mark on this earth
Like the impact of an asteroid
Or thoughts from Freud
We search for significance
And mainstream acceptance
We find it but there's still
A hole from the asteroid
It’s deeper than eternity
Realer than you’ll ever see
Search your heart and then you’ll see
All we have is vanity
Front covers and these chart toppers
- never fill the hole
We're searching for something that brings
Healing to the soul

And when you find it
You'll surely understand it
You don't have to be famous
It's okay to be nameless
I know it sounds crazy Let's
Chill while I explain this
The life you have to live
Is more than acquiring things

To be known is to be loved and
To be loved is to be known
And when you're fully known and fully
Loved You'll feel so content
It comes from one person
One place n' one event
The love that he showed was so significant

I'm okay i'm not going to strive for
The things in this life
Coz it really ain't nothing but hype
I'm okay
With living by the promises of God for me
No matter what the world believes

Somebody said get all you can
But they don't realise life is
A flash in a pan
Put all their stock in the imagination of man
And end up shipwrecked because they
Have the wrong pan
I think it's that sand they
Trying to build on
It keeps shifting coz they ain't no
Solid foundation they standing on
They're really bankrupt
The lord see them butt naked all
They way down to the marrow
Of the essence of the flesh erupts
It's a booby trap with the same old tactics
You ask who be that with the same old antics
It be that one that fell from heaven
Trying to get us all caught up
So we can't experience God's love
I'm okay tho i learned to live
In simplicity in this life so
When you stick the cheese in
Front of my nostrils
I see the hammer before it drops
So I'ma stay low low low

To be loved but not known is comforting
But superficial to be known and not
Loved is our greatest fear but to be
Fully known and truly loved is
Well, a lot like being loved by God
It is what we need more
Than anything it liberates us from pretense
Humbles us out of our self-righteousness
And fortifies us for any difficulty
Life can throw at us ― Timothy Keller
