Tony Stone - I'm Okay lyrics

CHORUS 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 VERSE 1 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 its 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 CHORUS 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 VERSE 2 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 CHORUS 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 VERSE 3 - Mista Taylor 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 bu*t naked all they way down to the marrow Of the essence of the flesh erupts It's a b**by 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, The Meaning of Marriage: Finding Happiness in Your Most Profound Relationship
