They say sometimes you win some
Sometimes you lose some
And right now
Right now I’m losing bad
I’ve stood on this stage
Night after night
Reminding the broken
It’ll be alright
But right now
Oh right now I just can’t
It’s easy to sing
When there’s nothing to bring me down
But what will I say
When I’m held to the flame
Like I am right now
I know You’re able
And I know You can
Save through the fire
With Your mighty hand
But even if You don’t
My hope is You alone
They say it only takes a little faith
To move a mountain
A little faith is all I have right now
But God when You choose
To leave mountains unmovable
Give me the strength
To be able to sing
It is well with my soul
I know the sorrow
I know the hurt
Would all go away
If You’d just say the word
But even if You don’t
My hope is You alone
You’ve been faithful
You’ve been good
All of my days
Jesus, I will cling to You
Come what may
‘Cause I know You’re able
I know You can
It is well with my soul
“I know You’re able… but even if You don’t…”
Written by MercyMe’s lead singer as his son battled chronic illness, this song holds tension: faith in God’s power, and surrender to His will.
It is a declaration that worship is not dependent on outcomes.
Even if healing doesn’t come… even if the prayer isn’t answered the way we hoped… God is still worthy.
Scripture: Daniel 3:18 — “But even if He does not rescue us, we want you to know… we will not serve your gods.”
Ask yourself:
- What does it mean to trust God without conditions?
- Where are you waiting for an answer that hasn’t come?
- Can you still worship if the outcome doesn’t change?
Even If (Faith Regardless of Outcome)
