[Intro — spoken] Yeah… I ain’t gonna lie… There were days I didn’t think I was gonna make it. But God… (God did it) His grace kept me. And if you’re listening right now… Maybe His grace is keeping you too. [Verse 1] I done cried in rooms where nobody knew, smiled in they face like, “Girl, I’m cool.” (I’m good) Had some nights I ain’t know what to do, but God woke me up and I made it through. (Thank You, Jesus) I gave my heart, got hurt in return, but every hard lesson was something I learned. (I learned) I thought I was walking through it all by myself, whole time God was holding me when I couldn’t hold myself. I ain’t where I wanna be, but look where I came from. (Look at God) What should’ve broke me only made me stronger. [Pre-Chorus] I ain’t perfect, I never claimed to be. (No, I’m not) But God’s grace kept covering me. When I was lost, He made a way. When I was weak, He gave me strength. That’s why I can lift my head and say… [Chorus] I’m still here… (by His grace) After everything I’ve been through. Still standing… (God kept me) When I didn’t know what else to do. I cried, I broke, I prayed, I healed… (Lord, You know) Thought I couldn’t make it… But God said, “Baby, you will.” I’m still here… (yes, I am) By His grace… I’m still here. [Verse 2] I learned people leave when the road gets rough. (They’ll leave) But God stayed right there when I had nothing left to give up. I lost some things I thought I couldn’t live without, but God removed some people I was too scared to live without. (Thank You, Lord) Now I protect my peace, I don’t fight every battle. (No more) ‘Cause God already told me I don’t gotta answer to everybody. They can talk. Let ’em talk. They don’t know my story. (They don’t know) They didn’t see the tears, they didn’t see the nights. They didn’t see God keep me alive inside. And I ain’t ashamed of the road that I walked. Every scar on me is proof that God talked. [Pre-Chorus] When I was sinking, He reached down. (He reached down) When I was lost, He turned me around. When I had nothing, He gave me enough. When I couldn’t love myself… God still loved me. [Chorus] I’m still here… (by His grace) After everything I’ve been through. Still standing… (God kept me) When I didn’t know what else to do. I cried, I broke, I prayed, I healed… (I made it) Thought I couldn’t make it… But God said, “Baby, you will.” I’m still here… (look at me) By His grace… I’m still here. [Bridge — stripped down / emotional] Listen… You don’t have to understand everything God is doing. You just gotta trust that He’s not finished with you. (He’s not finished) Some doors had to close. Some people had to leave. Some prayers had to wait. But look at you… You’re still breathing. You’re still standing. You’re still here. That’s grace. (That’s grace) Not because we deserve it… But because God is good. [Final Chorus — bigger, soulful] I’m still here… (oh, I’m still here) By the grace of God I’m still here. Still breathing… (Thank You, Lord) Still believing… Even when I couldn’t see the way, God made a way. (He made a way) I cried some nights, but He dried my tears. I lost some battles, but He brought me here. And every time I thought I was done… God said… “Not yet.” (Not yet!) I’m still here… By His grace… I’m still here. [Outro — spoken] So when you see me smile… Just know… That smile came through some storms. That peace came through some pain. And that woman standing in front of you… That’s God. Not luck. Not me. God. (Thank You, Jesus) His grace kept me. And if He kept me… He can keep you too. I’m still here. (By His grace…) Still here.
