Jelly Roll Gospel Song – “Lord, I’m Not Okay but I’m Still Here”

“Lord, I’m Not Okay but I’m Still Here” is a 40-minute live Gospel-Country song inspired by the emotional, real-life storytelling style of Jelly Roll — blending Southern soul, raw redemption, and honest worship.

This song dives deep into the heart of brokenness, faith, and survival. It’s for the ones still standing after the storm, for the people who’ve been through pain but still find grace in the struggle. The lyrics echo a message of grit, grace, and gratitude, all wrapped in a sound that feels like Sunday morning met a Nashville dive bar — with a touch of heaven’s mercy.

🔥 Story Behind the Song:
Jelly Roll’s music has always been about redemption — the kind that doesn’t come easy. “Lord, I’m Not Okay but I’m Still Here” follows that same heartbeat. It’s a confession turned into a conversation with God. It’s not perfect faith — it’s honest faith.

The verses share the weight of real pain, addiction, loss, and self-doubt, while the chorus keeps repeating the miracle of survival — “I’m still here.” The sound carries the depth of gospel choirs, southern guitars, live drums, and soul-bending vocals that make every word hit home.

If you’ve ever felt unworthy, unloved, or broken beyond repair, this song is your reminder: Grace still finds you where you are.
