Lyrics
I was sinking, so deep in sin
Your grace and mercy, decided to take me in
And placed my feet on, a rock to stand
It's unbelievable I'm not the same man
That use to fuss
Dance at the clubs and cuss
Mixed up true love with lust
And got my flesh in some stuff
That should have taken me out
Now I can shout about
The fact that I'm still here
(Everybody say this)
I'm still here
I'm still here
Through the rain I'm
Through the pain I'm
Through the tears I'm
In every fear
He promised to never leave me
Nor forsake me and if the devil could kill me
He would have done it by now
(I'm still)
Holding on
To His hands
Standing strong
Can't comprehend
Why He would love me and keep me
Stand above me and and treat me
As if I'm cool enough to be called his friend
And He still use me
Even though I know I don't deserve it
He still choose me
To perform His works
Although I'm not worth it
And like Peter I denied Him
More than I can count but God's love
Refused to fail me and He always bailed me out
Yeah
I'm still here
I'm still here
No weapon formed against me
Can ever prosper
Cause I'm
More than a conqueror through
Christ yeah
Through the rain I'm
Through the pain I'm
Through the tears I'm
In every fear
He promised to never leave me
Nor forsake me and if the devil could kill me
He would have done it by now
Shots fired in the club parking lot
Hearts stomp as innocent bodies drop
That day I get pulled over by the cops
My cousins sweating bullets
With a pocket full of rocks
God kept me
Never left me
And He's worthy of all the honor
And the glory
I'm still here
I'm still here
Through the rain I'm
Through the pain I'm
Through the tears I'm
In every fear
He promised to never leave me
Nor forsake me and if the devil could kill me
He would have done it by now

Meaning & Inspiration
“Still Here” is a testimony of rescue, preservation, and undeserved grace. The opening confession describes a life sinking in sin before mercy establishes firm footing and produces visible change. Later scenes of pain, fear, danger, and past failure make survival more than a slogan; the recurring declaration becomes gratitude for God’s sustaining care. The references to Peter’s denial and continued usefulness also frame restoration as grace rather than personal merit.
Several lines draw directly on biblical language. Standing on a rock recalls the psalmist lifted from a pit, while the promise that God will not leave or forsake his people supports the song’s confidence in adversity. The declaration that no weapon can prosper and that believers are more than conquerors adds a note of spiritual victory. Even with candid details about former choices, the lyric keeps its focus on divine faithfulness, giving the repeated chorus the character of a grateful witness.
