Even If
Kutless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes all we have to hold on to
Is what we know is true of who You are
So when the heartache hits like a hurricane
That could never change who You are
And we trust in who You are

Even if the healing doesn’t come
And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn’t come

Lord we know Your ways are not our ways
So we set our faith in who You are
Even though You reign high above us
You tenderly love us
We know Your heart
And we rest in who You are

You’re still the Great and Mighty One
We trust You always
You’re working all things for our good
We’ll sing your praise

You are God and we will bless You
As the Good and Faithful One
You are God and we will bless You




Even if the healing doesn’t come
Even if the healing doesn’t come

Overall Meaning

Kutless's song Even If is a powerful declaration of faith in God, even in the midst of heartache and disappointment. The first verse acknowledges that when life is tough, all we have to hold on to is the knowledge of who God truly is. The lyrics state that even though the storm of heartache and pain may come, it will never change the true nature of God. The chorus proclaims that even if we don't receive the healing we hope for, even if life falls apart and dreams go unfulfilled, God is still good and faithful, and we must trust in Him no matter what.


The second verse acknowledges that God's ways are not our ways, and that we may not always understand or see how things will turn out in the end. But we can still have faith in God and trust His heart, knowing that He loves us in spite of our shortcomings. The bridge reminds us that God is still the Great and Mighty One, and that He is always working for our good, even in the midst of trials and hardship. And finally, the last verse declares that God is always worthy of our praise, regardless of whether our prayers are answered in the way we hope for.


In summary, even if we don't receive the healing we pray for, God is still good and faithful, and we must trust in His plan and His heart.

God promises you long life.

"If you obey all the decrees and commands I am giving you today, all will be well with you and your children. I am giving you these instructions so you will enjoy a long life in the land the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”
Deuteronomy 4:40

"God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?"
Numbers 23:19

"But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed."
Isaiah 53:5

"And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”
Mark 5:34

"Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven."
James 5:15

Do not be deceived! Jesus is alive and the same holy spirit that healed people and brought the dead to life in the bible is within all believers/followers of Christ. Have faith! Nothing is impossible with God!

I think the healing always comes even if it isn’t the way we wanted it. My dad got his healing in heaven. I was so broken and got addicted to drugs. Pain was unbearable. My healing came 28 years later. Clean and sober 16 months.

MOMS Mushrooms Jody Foster

My story is similar. When my dad died suddenly I fell away in depression and despair. Many years I realized God had never been first in my life like I thought He was. When I returned after completely destroying my testimony and marriage. God took me back and showed me the real meaning of grace.

David Wester

I lost my beautiful 27 year old daughter at the hands of someone else a year ago and healing is so so hard. I miss her every day. This song really hits home for me...I LOVE Kutless!

Late yesterday afternoon, having never heard it before, The Lord, in a very unexpected way, brought this song to me. Sobs came as I listened to the words. All I can do, broken heart and all, is stand on the Truth of WHO YOU ARE, Oh God!

Uni Corn

I heard this song for the first time Sunday on my way to church. I just found out 3 days prier that I have cancer. Even if the healing doesn't come HE IS GOD HE IS GOOD HE IS FAITHFUL ONE! 

Susan Sage

I found out that last month I have cancer and knowing that healing may not come for me my heart is free because of God.  I have limits on this earth but in the end God will free me from them.  God may choose not to heal this body but one day it will be free and I will be in the arms of Christ.
