Six months ago, my sister played this song for me and told me it spoke to her during her cancer battle. Last Saturday I sang it at her funeral. Sometimes life really hurts, but God is still bigger than our sorrow and hurts.

I am so 😢 sorry for your loss. Your sister is well now 💖 she has VICTORY and when she sees you again it will only have been a very short separation for her 🥰!!

My wife was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2012, six months after we bought our “dream house.” She had surgery that year, and most of the tumor was removed. Since then she has had a feeding tube, radiation, gamma knife procedure and for the past ten months immunotherapy. On September 12, 2021 we were baptized together. I thank God for my wife. I thank God for her doctors, surfeit and nurses. But most of all I thank God for His Son, Jesus. Because of Jesus the only place cancer can take my beautiful wife is Home. If you are struggling, if you are in pain, if you are lost and searching for healing and answers, Jesus is the answer, and He can and will bring you the only peace you will ever need, the only healing that will ever fully and completely remove your pain. If you don’t believe me, ask Him. And if you want someone to pray with you, ask me.

This song is helping me so much. Being chronically ill, living with pain everyday, I kept on thinking I do not trust Jesus enough, because children of God kept on saying things that made me question myself. After I heard this song for the first time last month I broke down in realizing even if I go through illness everyday, it does not mean I do not trust Jesus enough, but I trust that Jesus holds me in His Hands no matter what. Even if I am not healed He still love me. Even if I am not healed I still love Him.

My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with T1D at 3, and it has been a rough road. Sometimes I feel tired already and wonder how she will feel in 20 or 30 years from now, but Jesus is with her, too, and sometimes I think she has stronger faith than me. Stay strong in your faith, and keep fighting! This verse gives me motivation in some of our toughest diabetes days. 1 Peter 4:19 [19]Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Go to the Book of John the one with out number. Read and do not stop until you under stand How much God Love's You!!! Then Psalms. I spent 2yrs Reading the Bible! My Family and other's Thought I Was Insane! I Lost Everything, Never say it can't get worse. Keep you'r eye's on the Big Picture. Like If You want to share in some of the Lord's Glory, You Must Share in some of His suffering. You are going to want that. Because that last's FOREVER! Get in His Word and stay there! God talk's to us the most that way, I and many other's believe.The song is about a story in the Bible. They would not give up. Even if it meant death by FIRE! Jesus came into the fire saved them, And they did'nt even smell Like smoke after, And Yes He Will Do That For Us. If You want more faith get closer to God. ( F.Y.I. Jesus and God are ONE! )Then He Will Get Closer To You! When I Feel Like I Cant Take it anymore, I Look at Jesus And What He Did. No one has ever suffered as much as He Did! I Like the Good New's Bible, I use the Living Bible and The King James.@@maggieg771 God Bless You! And It Is Worth What ever We Must Go Through, All the money in the world can not buy one person into Heaven. So Never Give UP!!!

This song is so annointed. It was played 5 years ago at a funeral of a 53 year old friend that died suddenly. I played it for her mother and it gave her strength and peace and she played it at her child's funeral. Thank you.😢❤

Several years ago, I went through a breast cancer scare. I had a lumpectomy and everything following, and this song got me through. " I know You're able, and I know you can, but even if you don't..." This song got me through. I had to go through radiation therapy, but I'm still here. "Even if you don't..." My God is still my God!! That was 4 years ago, and my God is still my God!!! He got me through that, and, if you'll let Him, He'll get you through whatever you're going through. Come to Jesus. He loves you so much and He simply wants you to ask. Really, it's that simple. You might have to go through a storm, but He WILL walk with you through it. Give Him a chance.

Without a doubt, one of the most powerful songs ever written about the Christian experience. Thank you, Mercy Me for letting God work through you guys in such a moving and meaningful way. Awesome, awesome song.

Thank you for this song. My grown daughter is hooked on meth and I have spent hours on my knees begging and praying to God to save her. I have given her to him over and over, yelled at him when he didn't answer in my time, pleaded and bargained. Then I heard Even If and it reminded me that no matter what he is the only hope I have and even if he don't save her in my time he is my faith, comfort, and hope.

My beautiful daughter started believing that she is a boy 18 months ago. She has become more and more depressed is cutting herself and chronically anxious. Just this past week she was also diagnosed with pots syndrome. Sometimes I feel like I just doesn’t care or there is a curse on my family and on my daughter. I overdosed on pills a few weeks ago which was a horrendously bad choice but I just couldn’t stand the pain anymore. I cry out to God but it seems he is not listening and I feel like my daughter is dying right in front of my eyes.

I am in agreement with your words, ... "nothing in this world that satisfies more than the love of Jesus Christ" ... as illustrated by the following prayer using caps as emphasis to show that GOD THROUGH THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST CARES no matter how sad we get, HE HAS us IN HIS ARMS. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES. LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

Fel R I thought I knew what a tough life looked like...I got married very young, was pregnant, & then lost my baby 2 weeks before the wedding. 1-1/2 years later I was pregnant again. My husband rarely worked and debt piled up. I divorced him cuz his priorities were purely selfish; and, I had a newborn who relied on me for everything. I became a single mother before I turned 20 yrs old. Then I met a man who was Christian and 2-1/2 yrs of being together, we got married when my son was 5 yrs old. Things instantly changed just 4 days after we were married. Many forms of "invisible" abuse very slowly began and continued to worsen. 22 years of marriage and constant threats of violence took a toll on me. A friend from church cared about me & after 2 yrs of her asking ehy, I dumped the whole truth about my 2nd husband. She offered me a place to stay, if needed. She taught me what true love is REALLY like. 9/3/2013 I left when he was coming back from his vacation. Then 10/21/2014 my 28 yr old son was hospitalized after many trips and hours of waiting in an ER for 6 weeks. He had pneumonia, a form of MRSA (actually MSSA). My son went through 2 open heart surgeries only 4 mos. apart. The infections were even stronger. The 2nd open heart surgery was 5 days before his 29th birthday & the day after was Mother's day. He didn't care about his bday or Mother's day. But after 9 months in medical care mostly in ICU - or a medical care facility. He suddenly died without any warning on May 27th, 2015. I've struggled through some of the most horrible, painful, and thoughtless comments. This song "Even If" has 2 very important reminders to me. His testimony he gave about this song shows that we all have sufferings and we can turn to lean on God or run away. It also reminds me of what happened to the man who wrote "It is Well". He wrote that song after receiving a telegraph that the ship his wife and 5 (?) daughter's were traveling on went down and he lost ALL of his daughters that day but his wife survived. That is what I hang onto when I am hurting from the death of my only son. Tragedies are awful but we can seek God for comfort or walk away. I chose to seek God for whatever comfort He could give me.

Michelle Brungardt Thank you for your response! I am learning to trust God one day at a time. I finally got honest with myself and cried out to God asking, "Why?" Instead of guilt filling me, I continued "outloud" with all my questions to the One I had been so afraid to question. He reminded me that He remembers that I am dust, and He also reminded me that His ways aren't my ways. I just want Him to use me in the midst of all of this. I don't want this suffering to be in vain.

Thank you mercy me I have battled with my afflictions since I was a teenager I'm sixty four years old I still believe Jesus Christ Will help me over come my addictions I don't drink as often as I use to I turn to his word for strength your song even if inspires me thank you so much Jesus Christ our Lord and savior amen

I sent this video and testimony to my brother that I ride with in motorcycle club about 4 days ago that was battling cancer,he passed away today and I pray he watched it,god I'm so broken right now but I know he got his wings today and isn't suffering anymore.😭

Mercy Me: My son has Autism every time that I go to an I.E.P. meeting they do not fail to remind me that he is behind compared to the other children. But, My faith is not in the school or special education services, my faith is in GOD. They said he would not speak when he was younger and speech delayed but it came. They said he would not be affectionate he is the most affectionate person you would ever meet. This song is amazing: Even if my circumstances don't change, Even if I am broken-hearted by circumstances, my faith will not be moved. He is there with me because he is close to those who are broken-hearted. Always determined in moving forward. All that matters my relationship with Jesus Christ.

I am a mother of special needs children and I became a special educator because of it. I have been on both sides of that table. Unfortunately the special ed teacher has to show the deficits to prove that your child needs extra services, that said, you should still be able to celebrate the improvement and milestones. I am so sorry that you were told your child would never be able to do things. We don't know for sure what is in the future. I am Christian and I prayed that I would be an instrument in Gods hands that would be able to help my students and my children. Just as you will be guided for your child.

@@jmoss55ish I've been there too. People came at me saying hope in the Lord, He is with you all the time, but didn't understand the lonliness or going somewhere alone in the flesh. All the Christianese gospel that stomps down the ability to say how lost we feel inside, how empty. Many thoughts of suicide, who's left that will truly miss what I bring to the table, and God brought a counselor into my life who introduced me to God, the Father. I knew Jesus and the Holy Spirit but God the Father was the tyrannical judge, like my earthly Dad. I was sure -- no love there. Then this Fall she made me read The Shack, a book that's been on my shelf for years. And thru that and the moving of the Holy Spirit, I was introduced to God the Father, my Papa, who accepts me with all my inadequacies, shame, and I could finally receive His forgiveness, forgive myself, and for the first time ever I was able to receive the love of the Father. It's changed my life is such an inadequate phrase, but its true. I don't know if you are here, but I felt I needed to respond to your plea. I've said the same words. My life on earth hit a new low, no hope. Nothing has changed in the physical. Just me ... my perspective ... because I'm loved. Really loved.

Grace Bennett, hi, I’m here. I’m so thankful for the blessings you’ve received in coming to our Father, our Abba...our Daddy❤️. I too had to come to a place of having some understanding of a glimpse of His love for me. It was not something I had ever experienced before. I think what I was trying to convey in my first post when I said that I’d come to a place where I knew it wasn’t ever going to get better, which came out wrong, was that I have come to a place of complete content with my lot in life. All the trials, tribulations and loss have been used to make me who I am today and I’m finally comfortable with who I am. I have walked with and watched as several loved ones take their last breath, including our 20yr. old daughter, brother and parents. BUT, I was also blessed to have been used by our Savior to bring each one of them to Him. Due to an auto accident years ago, I continue to struggle with a lot of pain issues which has also affected our income. Aug. ‘16 our 20 yr. old granddaughter died suddenly and the church we had attended for most of her life and had been very involved in, all but abandoned us. Truly, no one called for 3 weeks! When I asked one of my “friends” if I had done something to cause this abandonment, her exact words were “NO Janice! I’m sorry but, your life is too hard for us! Look, I don’t know anyone who praises God more than you do, but I also don’t know anyone that GOD say “NO” to more than He does you! If He says no to you, what is He going to say when we have a real need?” It’s been during this lonely time that I came to realize, that when ALL you have is Jesus, Jesus is ALL you need❤️

I love the fact that he is so real about it all instead of sugar coating it! Beautiful song!!

Its really easy to praise and worship God when everything in our lives are great, when all our prayers were answered in favor of us but what about if not, will we continue loving and praising God?, will we continue to trust him? This song says it all....its challange the truth inside of us .True believer will continue to love, honor, hope and trust even if God did not heal his sickness or deliver him from trouble. Luv Mercy Me!!!

I came upon this song last week when my family decided to do church at home, and it couldn't have come at a better time. I do completely understand what he was saying about people praying for healing for his son. I am disabled, so I have encountered so many people who seem intent on believing that what I want more than anything is to not be. Honestly, it doesn't occur to me to ask for healing, because I feel deep down that isn't going to happen, and that is ok with me. If he heals me, I can be a great witness to whoever saw it or heard of it, for a while. If He doesn't, I can be a witness every day of my life for the rest of my life that God is faithful despite the pains in life, and I can do that simply by smiling. I was not blessed with the ability to walk up to people and start conversations, which can make witnessing hard. Because of my disability, there are so many who come up to me, and I don't mind talking to anyone who starts the conversation first. And yes, sometimes it really sucks when I'm in so much pain I don't want to move or I'm heading back to the hospital for yet another infection in the foot I can't feel. But that is why this song is so great. It reminds me to sing when God doesn't change my circumstances. And it is those moments when I have found that simply choosing to smile is a witness to others. My circumstances right now are harder than I've yet experienced, or it feels that way to me. I'm trying hard not to break. I pray I can continue to praise if/when they don't get easier.

Toni, I lived in constant pain for months and laid in bed for months after injuring 2 nerves in my leg. I did my best reading inspirational materials and doing positive imagery, seeing 7 doctors in this time with no lasting results and sometimes making things worse. Finally I followed an inner prodding that took me to a pain doctor who put me on a pain management program that works. Never give up. God is faithful. Nothing can separate you from His love, not even pain, though the way seems murky. Listen in stillness to the inner voice of the Holy Spirit that guides you towards Love. It will lead you where you need to go.

In the Bible it says to rejoice in suffering, not because pain is a wonderful experience, but because it is the way out. Living in comfort does nothing for our eternal souls. Our souls vegetate in that state. But living our lives despite pain forces us to develop into the eternal beings God has planned for us to be. The higher the responsibility you are to have in heaven, the more important your suffering on earth will be for your eternal soul. I questioned whether I wanted to go on too when my pain was at its worst. But I am glad I did go on. I have grown spiritually by leaps and bounds, in ways I never would have without the experience.

This song has ministered to me for several days now. On my way to work, it suddenly plays on the radio....on my way home from work, it suddenly plays on the radio. This message runs DEEP. We all have been there. God Bless you

I "stumbled" upon this song today during my guitar tutorials and haven't stopped playing it since.... Keep Hope Alive!!

I just heard you talking about your son being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 2 years old. I have been Type 1 for 45 years, diagnosed a month after I turned 13. I remember being in the hospital, after. Couple of hours s nurse walked in with a needle, a vile of water, and an orange. I practiced all day on the orange! The next morning I have myself the first shot! So many things have changed; I have been on a pump for the last 25 years and now have a Dexcom. I will be praying for your son and your family. So thankful that God takes care of us!

These words touch my heart and life every day, 24 hours a day. I have a 24 year old daughter you has a chronic illness that has pretty much left her bed ridden and stays in constant pain most of the time. We love the good days and try to live through the bad days. My daughter was a sophomore at Liberty University when her health started to completely deteriorate. For the last five years all her hopes, dreams and aspirations have been diminished to this point in her life. Not once has she lost hope or stop believing in the one you created her or saved her by giving his only and one son. She has kept me and her mother from crumbling and falling apart. Her strength and faith carries us as well as herself. We know God has the power and authority to heal our daughter, but for some reason it has not happened at this point, but it does not matter because "even If" we are still putting our hope in God. I understand there are many people in worst circumstances than our daughter, I pray for them as well, But I would love to take her place so she would not have to suffer, I know it is not his will for that to happen. When I hear these words, it's very difficult some days to remain positive, keep the faith, and not crumble; BUT it is what we believe in our hearts, We know her has the power, will and might, and even if he doesn't we still put our trust, faith in love in our Savior Jesus Christ. He suffered much more than I can comprehend for my soul, Even If I was not willing to believe he still paid the price for me. Thank you Bart for such encouraging words on those bad days when life does suck! reminding us tomorrow may be better or it may be the same but we are never alone or forsaken.

I am in agreement with your words, ... "I place m[y] hope in Him" ... as illustrated by the following prayer using caps to encourage the disheartened and help the weak by being patient with everyone because our contract with survival is brokered with sadness, fragility and anxiety. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES. LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

This song get me up every morning and keeps me going no matter what the day brings everyone should hear this and think about what support gives us

The first time for me to hear this song my daughter had passed on February 7, she was 36, she also was diagnosed at age 8 with rheumatoid arthtris nicole lived each day to its fullest, she had 3 beautiful children. She became sick in October with a brain infection PML, nicole lived each for our Savior. Her favorite song was "It Is Well" and when I heard this song I relate to it because it is so true though my daughter is with Jesus, there was doubt that He could heal her but He had a different plan than us but "Even If" I will still praise Him because I know I will see her again. Thank you

Thank you so much for being REAL. I am so sorry for your loss. She sounds like a great person. I know it is not a real comfort at the moment, but just remember you will see her again in heaven one day.

My Mom passed on Feb 7th too this song helped me to get through it still rejoice when I here because I know my Mom is with sweet JESUS AMEN

I have listened and sang along with this song dozens of times. But after watching his testimonial, it made me cry to listen to it. God bless.

This song -Never gets old!

After doing time in prison and not understanding how to live in society, through Christ and hearing this song I gained victory."Even "if the world wouldn't help me .I kept my faith in Jesus. Today I'm doing just fine.

God knows far greater than us the purpose of obstacles in our life. We just should know that He is standing for us through it all.

Sam is/has already been changing the world through his daddy. As you share his story and your faith (faith being tested in the refining fire) you are touching many hearts to come to know Christ, and many hearts to continue on in Christ. Human as we are, as were the saints of old, when we are weak-we are strong....because Jesus is for us. Thank you for your testimony and your God given talents, you encourage the body of Christ. 💝❤️✝️

Hurting so bad tonight. Thank you for reminding me that Christ is still RIGHT HERE. It IS well with my soul.

I have been type 1 for 36 years this year- God is sovereign and over all! He has proven himself to us over and over! We've had 2 healthy children-now 18 and 22! To Him be all glory and praise! P.s. I totally understand the cringe when someone says 'let's pray for healing'-like I've never thought of it for 36 years!? 😳

This young man has amazed me with his faith with all that he has gone through,God Bless him!

I love this guy so much! He's so real...

I was lucky enough to get to lead worship in my church for some time, and then my marriage began to unravel, and I experienced the moments that this song represents. Now, two years later, my marriage in shambles, my life a bit of a wreck, Bart and Mercy Me have been able to step in again and show me through the medium that God uses to reach me, music, that even though I have felt and still feel the ugliness of the world enveloping me, He is there. He has always been there, and my hope and my only chance at moving through life is in Him. I imagine that I will never be able to personally thank Mercy Me for the songs that they give to the world to remind us of God's unending love so I will thank them here. Thank you. Thank you for reminding me what sin has helped me to forget, which is that God loves me, and he loves you too. He's always right there. We're the ones that run from Him. "Even if you don't, my hope is you alone." Amen.

This song is so powerful so meaningful .. I hear the sadness and the faith all at the same time. So amazing when u feel the lyrics

I love this song. I have been with my husband for 38 yrs. He continues to do drugs. So I have filled for divorce. So as I go through the storm this song comes on at the right time. It makes me weep every time . All I ever wanted was for him to try & not give up. But he chooses this life 😣

I so understand. Our daughter became diabetic at 8 years old. She is 45 now with 2 children. Be encouraged.

This song have been keeping me going for days, my father and I have been separated for 5 years now and throughout those years I’ve been praying to meet him again but earlier this year my parents decided to get divorce so there’s no way my dad would come and visit anymore, at first I was blaming God, and that he didn’t help me but after listening to this song I’ve come to realise that not everything can go the way we want, and I’m still praying about it and hopefully one day I can meet him again♥️♥️

Amen I get up cry grit my teeth cause I don't get pain killers I hurt cramp up real bad and just say Jesus you said you suffered for me too me too and it is worth it he picks me up I make miserable mistakes but Holy Spirit it's your turn THANKS God it's worth it

Listening to this, all I can do is cry. For the pass 7 years, life has been very challenging, but through it all, God has been so faithful.. I know greater and better is my latter days. I love you Jesus!

This song has touched me so much ! Thank you! I could listen to it all day!

What I have can't be seen. Im bipolar and have anxiety too. This guy and the testimony makes me cry each time I hear it. He's phenomenal and his faith is off the scale praise God. Our God is a great big God and he's wowzers! Don't get me wrong I've had times when I've cursed him but he still forgave me best friend ever!!! Xxxx

I'm 80 years old and have MS. Was diagnosed when I was 35....I can still walk -with a walker or a cane..HIS GRACE IS WITH ME DAILY.

I've loved the song since I first heard it, but after listening to the testimony I can't stop crying. My 14 year old has 4 diagnosis - bi-polar, adhd, odd, and ocd. Nearly every day is a battle but it's the ones that aren't that give me the strength to keep going and I just pray harder on the bad days. I go to my room and cry until I can't anymore and then pray until I have the strength back to deal with issues that he can't control himself. God is good and I know he can heal my son but even if he doesn't my faith in God will remain strong because I KNOW he will be healed when MY GOD returns!!

Me too. You are definitely not alone in with that... I want to thank you for your testimony, you made a huge difference my day today.... it really helps to know that you're not alone.

Awesome testimony and song! God is faithful, Even If ......

This song is me, i suffer from chronic illness, all my adult life I'm 59. and with god's help still going on,I walk through the fire and don't even smell like smoke..Amen

This song and this group has helped me go on day after day since my son died. They bring me to the gospel and to Jesus each and every time.

This song brings me to tears every single time I hear it. I've been struggling with a chronic illness for 18 years now. It's every second of every day. I've seen over 30 doctors and had countless tests done and nothing can be found which means there's no way for me to get better other than with God. I know he can heal me in an instant, but he doesn't. That's the hardest part.

Just be patient the very moment you are almost giving up a miracle will happen in your life

I wish I could like this video a million times. This song IS THE TRUTH.

This song has blessed me because I am waiting for my healing.

My precious husband posted this on his FaceBook page a couple of months before he went to be with the Lord. He had appendiceal cancer and died at 54. I know the lyrics of this song are true. God is faithful but I miss him everyday.

Thank you brother for being very real. The promises are also real. We sometimes mess up in applying them to our circumstances and overworking our imagination in doing so. Healing is not about doing us favors. The huge favor comes in and with having Christ. Sam will have type 1 diabetes for awhile, then because of the grace of God he will NOT have it forever and ever. As you said, trouble is on the way for each one. Healing is always about His glory, not our favor. It is "a" way that God sometimes identifies Himself to people. As He said, even in Naaman's day, there were many lepers, but only one was healed. For me, death is the bad one. It is married to sin; they go together. Death steals absolutely every one you know and love, and then you yourself will struggle for your last breath some day but you won't get it. Of course, what happens after that for believers will be amazing, astonishingly wonderful and beyond "imagination". It is this side of there that death slays everyone you know and at last, you yourself.

I love this song.

Help me Lord to get the point in my Faith where i can say without a doubt that EVEN IF YOU LEAVE MY MOUNTAIN UNMOVABLE. Give me the strength to stand n keep my hope in you. EVEN IF YOU DON'T!!!!! LORD!!!! EVEN IF YOU DON'T

All you have to do is Believe Christ is our eternity God Bless You.🙌

The music of Mercy Me has changed my life forever. Someday, I hope to tell Bart myself, so that he can understand how his lyrics have impacted upon me in ways I could not have expected, in the middle of so much personal pain and emotional agony. Often, we don't understand what is happening. All I know is that God is faithful, and if we will trust Him, He will work in all of our circumstances. We can look back upon our lives and see that during the most painful, isolating, frightening moments of our lives, that God was with us. We don't understand when things happen, but retrospect reveals the hand of God. We can find peace in that, and we can say in all honesty, that it Is well with my soul. God is good, all the time. Thank you Jesus!

This song is my favorite, I have had chronic illness for 16 years and I love it. I have faith God will heal me. Beautiful song, thank you for making this. So powerful and so true cuz sometimes you feel like this! God Bless You! ✝️💜

Thank you Mercy Me for your incredible testimony and for being so "real". I love the official lyric video too!

I love Jesus so much. Thank you for forgiveness. I am a sinner, saved by your grace. That you Lord for faith. Thank you Lord for song. Mercy me, thank you. Glory to God

Sitting in bed listening after battling a 11 years battle of infertility 4 fibroids surgeries... in the last year ADHESION strangling my insides low blood count infusion er and hospital stays just to Preserve my life month after month of my uterus trying to kill me.

This song carried me through depression, constant failure, rejection, heartbreak, car accident, asthmatic attacks...and I'm just 22❤ Thank you MercyMe for writing this from the heart, telling us its not a perfect faith, it does grow weary rather its a steadfast faith. He promises strength and if He doesn't heal, doesn't breakthrough for us its okay. ..our hope is in Him alone regardless.

This is the best song ever written....Equal to Amazing Grace in my book....I’m a Pastor with my husband, we have served the Lord all of our married lives, me 16 and him 20....married 43 years....He never drank alcohol, yet a doctor butchered him, he has 4th stage liver failure, my 25 year old son got killed by a deer that jumped into his head, killed him instantly, then I just lost my only biological grandson. He lived 18 days.....my daughter and husband are distraught 😭...I just cry over, and over and worship the Lord when I hear this song. I’ve always been happy and upbeat, but even if our situation is so painful. But, watching my daughter grieve with a broken heart 💔 is the worst pain I can bare.....Say a lil prayer if you ever read this, or anyone. 😢💔💙🙏🏼🙌🏼

Thanks man,, I lost my son, and in the process lost my faith, this is the only song that seems to understand.

look what God can do EVEN with Sam's illness..... hundreds of thousands touched by this song!!! Thank you for your family and your courage

I've been starting off my mornings with this song

I heard this song years ago, and It encouraged me then, I used to sing it to my mom when she was sick and dying. Now it's been a few years and I've been going through some really hard things and I heard it the other day on the radio in the car and I really had a long boohoo session! It always breaks my heart, this song, and it makes me remember who God is and that he is God and I'm not! And something else, something I know deep down inside, GOD IS GOOD, if we're going through something horrible or even just hard God looked at every other option and chose this option because it was best for us! I know that it makes people mad when they're going through something hard to hear something like that, But if you take all the evidence that we have from the word of God and our experience there's no other conclusion! He isn't arbitrary and he isn't cruel and he isn't punishing us, Jesus took all of the punishment for our sin, so I can rest in HIM, I can take off my god hat and quit thinking I can fix it or I can change it or I can finish it, what I can do The only thing I can do is rest in trusting God, and that is our greatest strength, that's when we win.

I cry the first time i hear this song..God knows how much i am hurting ..It's been years but still hurt as if it's yesterday..My prayer haven't answer yet but my hope still raging ..Because i know from the bottom of my heart no one in this world i could put my trust and hope but only to Jesus alone..
