Maybe It's Ok' - We Are Messengers
Listening to this version of ‘Maybe It’s Ok’ by We Are Messengers, with a beautiful string quartet accompaniment, will give you chills.
It’s is such an inspiring song with a powerful, truthful message to share.
When writing ‘Maybe It’s Ok’, Darren Mulligan, the lead singer of the band, said that it made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.
And it’s no wonder because the lyrics in this song really touch you and leave an impact.
“If I didn't know what it hurt like to be broken
Then how would I know what it feels like to be whole
If I didn't know what it cuts like to be rejected
Then I wouldn't know the joy of coming home
Maybe it's ok if I'm not ok
Cause the one who holds the world is holding onto me
Maybe it's alright if I'm not alright
Cause the one who holds the stars is holding my whole life”
When sharing his heart behind the song, Daren explained: “I believe that God works all things together for the good of those that love Him. But I can't escape the fact that we're hurting, anxious, disappointed, and afraid. This song is my surrender. By admitting that I need God to put everything right. I find that Jesus is with me in the heartache holding onto me and leading through the tough times. Everything sad is being undone. But it's going to take a little time. Getting well is a messy business. So, take it easy on yourself. God has taken every mistake, every hurt, and make it something really beautiful. I'm in the reality of where I am right here, right now, and I'm trusting in Jesus. I've realized, maybe it's okay, even when I'm not okay.”
Another inspiring thing that came out of this song is the website that We Are Messengers launched designed just for people to share their own struggles or help someone else through there’s. It’s called maybeitsok.com.
Thousands of messages have been pouring into the site and people have been praying over each story that has been shared.
It’s a beautiful thing to see people coming together, helping and encouraging one another in their struggles. And the song ‘Maybe It’s Ok’ reminds us that it is ok to feel broken, because our God is a healer. He can make a masterpiece out of any mess.
