We Are Messengers – Maybe It’s Ok | Share Worthy Song

Not every worship song comes from a place of triumph. Some are born in the middle of the storm. Maybe It’s Ok by We Are Messengers is one of those songs. Written by Darren Mulligan with Jonathan Smith and Bryan Fowler, it was released in 2018 as the lead single from their Honest EP. Darren has said the song came out of his own wrestle with anxiety, disappointment, and the reality that “getting well is a messy business.” His confession was simple but profound: “I’ve realized, maybe it’s okay, even when I’m not okay.”

That’s what makes this song so powerful—it gives permission to be real. In a world where we’re pressured to put on a brave face, Maybe It’s Ok reminds us that God doesn’t ask for performance, He asks for honesty. The psalmist prayed the same way: “How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” (Psalm 13:1). Those words aren’t polished, but they’re preserved as worship. And Paul echoes the same truth in 2 Corinthians 12:9 when he recalls God’s answer to his weakness: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

This song is share worthy because it speaks to every believer who has ever felt like they had to hide their struggles. It reminds us that Jesus is not repelled by our brokenness—He meets us in it. Darren himself said, “I find that Jesus is with me in the heartache, holding onto me and leading through the tough times.” That’s the gospel: not that we’re okay, but that He is enough when we’re not.

So let this song be more than a comfort—let it be a call. A call to stop pretending, to stop carrying the weight alone, and to bring your whole self before God. Because maybe it really is okay to not be okay… as long as you don’t stay there. His grace is already waiting to carry you forward.

We Are Messengers’ deeply moving single “Maybe It’s Ok,” from their album Power, is a raw and redemptive anthem for anyone wrestling with brokenness. With lyrics that speak to the beauty of vulnerability and the grace found in surrender, this track reminds listeners that healing begins when we stop pretending.
