(LYRICS)
You were 43 when you got the news
Life will be changing, nothing we can do
The clock is ticking now
All I can think about
Is knowing I have to move on without you somehow
And I just can’t believe
That you’re the one whose keeping it together
As you hold my hand and say
It’s ok to cry
It’s ok to fall apart
You don't have to try
To be strong when you are not
And it may take sometime to make sense of all your thoughts
But don’t ever fight your tears
'Cause there is freedom in every drop
Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is when we fall apart
You ask me to sing
Some songs that I wrote
And I can barely speak
Can barely play a note
All my tears rush in
Falling on my strings
And make the sound of these progressions have a different ring
And I hate to say goodbye
Knowing this will be the last time we’re together
As you close your eyes and say
It’s ok to cry
It’s ok to fall apart
You don't have to try
To be strong when you are not
And it may take sometime to make sense of all your thoughts
But don’t ever fight your tears
'Cause there is freedom in every drop
Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is when we fall apart
And you’ve got the gift of mercy
Don't ever think it's strange
Not a curse, but it is a blessing to feel other people's pain
And always love without condition
And trust with all your heart
There’s healing in the story of your scars
Well, it's been awhile
Since you’ve been gone
Sometimes I still catch myself trying to call your phone
All the hopes and dreams we used to talk about
They're still alive in me and I just hope I make you proud
Now I’m your legacy
And it's your love still holding me together
And I still hear you say
It’s ok to cry
It’s ok to fall apart
You don't have to try
To be strong when you are not
And it may take sometime to make sense of all your thoughts
But don’t ever fight your tears
'Cause there is freedom in every drop
Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is when we fall apart

Thank you Ryan for this amazing song! I also lost my sister when she was 20 and I was 19 years old. I didn’t know how to go through a healing process because I told myself she was in Heaven with Jesus. Didn’t cry at funeral service because everyone was saying she was with Jesus, so for decades held all that pain inside. Finally , last year at 69 years old I just cried and cried and balled for her and asked Jesus to help me with the pain and He did so I released all the pain and hurt to Him. Again, I’m crying listening to your song but the Lord is comforting me. Thank you for this amazing song!’

[@ryanstevensonmusic]

Thanks to everyone who watched the premiere this morning! This song has been my way of working through and navigating one of the most painful storms of my life. I hope it encourages you to do the same!

[@estherelder2456]

I heard this song live in concert when you came to Richmond, VA a couple months ago. It really spoke to my heart and I wanted to share it with my friends and family. I searched for it, but couldn't find it. I'm so glad that you posted this song, so I can share it and listen to it again myself. I love the chorus especially. Not many people say it's ok to cry and it really is. In fact I don't think I have heard any song that says that. So it is really needed in our world. Thank you so much, Ryan!!

I've finally got to listen, laying here listening to tears are flowing, yup I'm at that point of falling apart.

[@countrygold_7813]

Recently I fell down our 14 flight of stairs. Had to be air lifted to the states top hospital. My doctors at 1st thought I wasn't going to make it. But God is the great physician. Proved the doctors wrong. I have a second chance at life. Anyone out there going down a dark road, Jesus is the light. Before its to late, turn your life around. If I can do it, anyone can.

[@judyoneil9125]

My husband of 45 years went with the Lord 18 months ago. I miss him so much. Jimmy was my best friend and I'm lost without him here. I don't understand any of this, but I know God does. I was blessed to be able to take care of him the last year he was alive. God gave me the opportunity to be the wife God wanted me to be. I can't wait until God calls me home so I can see Jimmy again.

[@deanrohrbaugh2191]

I am so sorry to hear about your husband passing. Please accept my condolences. I too lost my beautiful wife Shirley four months ago. She lost her life battling 8 Meningiomas cancerous brain tumors since April 2021. We were married for 49 years. I took care of her the last four months of her life. She was bedridden for 130 days, after having her second brain surgery on October 3rd, 2023. I lost my high school sweetheart, best friend, wife, soul mate for life. It's going to take a while for this man's broken 💔 heart to mend. I have cried so much in the last several months. I miss and love her so much. Your story hit me hard, so similar to how I feel about my wife Shirley. Good news, your husband and my wife are dancing on the streets of GOLD, in HEAVEN with Jesus Christ FOREVER! Hallelujah! Victory, Salvation is theirs! And some day we will be seeing our spouses face again! What a glorious joy-filled day that will be for us and for them and us seeing JESUS face to face!

[@deanrohrbaugh2191]

@@judyoneil9125 Thank you Judy for your kind words. My wife, Shirley spent her last 46 days at the Josie Harper Hospice House in Omaha Nebraska. I'm retired. So, I would spend 6-8 hours a day by her bedside. Helping feed her lunch meal around noon and help feed her dinner around 5:30 pm most days. I was with her when she took Jesus Christ hand and she went with Him to her permanent eternal home HEAVEN FOREVER! That was the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my life, being told by the nurse, "Yes, her heart has stopped beating. She's gone!"😭 Prior to that, I told Shirley, " You need to go with Jesus. He's calling you. Come with me faithful woman! I told Her that I would be alright. So, please take Jesus hand and go with Him now! I think Shirley was waiting for me to say that to her one more time. Then a couple minutes later, Shirley did that!😭I cried 😢 tears of sorrow for losing my wife, Shirley, and tears of joy, knowing she was in Heaven with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. And She was no longer confined to a hospital style bed, after being bedridden for 130 days. No more pain, or tears. Being held in Jesus arms! She is FREE, dancing on the streets of GOLD, shouting Hallelujah, I AM FREE! I am finally healed. My body made new. Thank you Jesus for this Free gift of Salvation and Eternal life with you! Hallelujah! 🙌♥️🎶✝️

Herez your reminder, how have the last 2 years been

[@benjaminmauldin1477]

I’ve never watched the official version, but have listened to the version with Amy Grant and Vince Gill. My birthday is this next Thursday, 10/13, and I’ll be 35. It would have been my Mom and Dad’s 38th wedding anniversary. Every time I hear this song, I go back to my Momma in my mind. She passed away from a brain tumor on July 12th, 2019, and some days it still feels like it was yesterday. Please pray for me this week especially. I have other family and friends who’ll help me celebrate my birthday, and thankfully I’ll be working Thursday, so I won’t have much time to dwell on anything, but please keep me in prayer anyway. Thank you.

[@phillipalleman5627]

My dad died 1 day after his 50 year wedding anniversary. My mom said she saw him the next night at her bedside and asking her to come home. He was a pastor for 30+ years. The next day she went comatose (with no known physical cause) and died 29 days later. She wanted to be with dad. I've pushed down all my emotions about there passing until listening to this today. Thank you for letting Jesus use you to reach so many people like me. This song is one I'll be sharing with many others who've faced such trials (like yours and like my own).

Today makes five years sense I lost my friend to cancer and tumor. He was just 31, and he had strong faith in God. The last time I saw him was April 2016 he died five years ago today. I could read the Bible or listen to music for a full year after. I don’t want to ask questions anymore. It doesn’t make any sense why life will end so young. I can relate to this song . This song resimbles me today. Please pray for me Ryan . If you have any advice, please tell me. So far so good but I’m trying to catch myself.

[@johndouven6642]

Thank you, Ryan. I lost my wife 5.25 years ago. And even though I know she is with the Lord, and we shall see we other again, I am still brokenhearted. The words remind me...and cause me to cry.

[@MatthewBrown14827]

I also wanted thank you for this song. Both of my parents passed away when I was 33 and 48 yrs old. This is wonderful song. People think tears are bas but they sometime is the most beautiful think we can do to heal. Thank you Jesus for this song/artist and most importantly my parents.

[@kitkat37399]

This song came on the radio the day my cousin died. I was trying to hold it together because I was told during work. He was like my little brother and we had a special bond since he was born. He was autistic, non-verbal. I was his favorite person and he was mine. It hurt hearing he had passed. I lost it. As soon as I got in the car, this song came on and I couldn't hold it together. It's like God was telling me to grieve. It's only been 2 months since he passed, but it will always hurt and I'll always miss you Ethan. I'm glad you're happy in heaven with all the fried rice you can eat hahaha, I know Chinese was your favorite. I miss you buddy...so much.

[@lisaosbourn588]

I feel like this was written for me. I lost my first husband to cancer. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I will never understand the why’s, and I will never like it, but God had a plan.

[@deanrohrbaugh2191]

@@lisaosbourn588 I too, recently lost my beautiful wife Shirley to cancer, on February 10, 2024. , After battling 8 Meningiomas cancerous brain tumors, having 15 Sterostatic radiation treatments and 2 brain surgeries, since April 2021. I took care of her too. After Shirley's second brain surgery on October 3rd, 2023, she slowly started losing her strength, a little bit each day. She was bedridden, confined to either a hospital, rehab or hospice bed, for 130 days. Not even able to turn to her side. Flat on her back. So, sad😢. And Shirley was losing 3 pounds per week. Shirley was at the Josie Harper Hospice House in Omaha Nebraska for 46 day. The last two weeks were the most difficult, and the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my life too. We have been married for 49 years. This month, July 2024, we would have been, celebrating our Golden 50th Wedding Anniversary this Saturday. But, that's not going to happen, because my high school sweetheart, best friend, my better half, soul mate, beautiful wife is no longer here. She's in Heaven dancing on the streets of GOLD With Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior! And seeing Jesus, face to face! I miss and love her so much! I too ask, "Why Lord? Why did she have to suffer so long?"This man's heart ❤️ is broken 💔. It's going to take awhile for this man's broken heart 💔 to men! I'm sorry for your loss, losing your first husband to cancer. I know, and feel your pain and deep sorrow. The good news is that someday in the future, we will be seeing our spouse's face again. What a glorious joy-filled day that will be for us and for them. And we will be seeing Jesus face! Hallelujah! 🙌 God bless.

My husband, my partner, the love of my life for 22 years was called by The Lord 4 months ago. Today was one of those days that I felt very sad, I got on my car and this song came on the radio, it’s the first time I heard this song and was a blessing to listen to it. It gave me a certain kind of strength and hope to continue fighting in this life without my husband and for my kids❤️

[@dorisbearden9043]

My husband of 30 years was diagnosed terminal in February 2017 and lived till October 2018 at age 59. It’s been little over three years now but seems mostly like yesterday. This song has been such a blessings in my life. People kept telling me I had to be strong that I had others who counted on me and I would tell them sometimes I had to crumble and this song has helped me to understand why I had to fall apart. Thank you and God’s blessings

[@desertrose1061]

Thank you for this.. My story is almost the same..just change it to 42 years old.. I will be 43 soon.. I don't feel ready at all or old enough to lose my grandpa who is like a dad to me. He's always been there all my life. He's my fishing buddy, I'm his "shadow" when I was growing up which is why I learned to fix anything, he's a wonderful man of God who's loved Jesus Christ every day of his life and taught me the only way to be wise is to read my Bible every day.. To trust Jesus with my heart ❤. My grandpa is almost 99 years old..but a few days ago I learned he's on hospice at 🏡 home.. How long Lord?? My heart and mind scream as my broken heart cries endless tears.. Don't leave me Daddy!! But I know God is calling you home and Jesus will stay with me until we're together again in Heaven... I love you Daddy, don't worry Abba our Heavenly Father will take care of me when you have to go.. ✝️❤️ "Jesus Loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so." 🎵✝️🎵🙏🙏🙏❤️May God bless all who read this. It's for you.

My wife found out she had stage 4 breast cancer at 37. at 40 we found out that it had metastasized to her brain. 29 days after finding this out, she passed. The brain cancer stole our goodbyes, but in a way, she didnt know herself what was going on in the end. I needed this song so much and still do. Our three girls are stronger than me, but we still fall apart and need to lean on God to get us through.

[@sylviaarrowood4629]

My husband is 69 and was just recently diagnosed with Stage 4 esophageal cancer. It has metastasized. I am praying every day for a miracle. We have only been married 7 years. He is the love of my life and I just can't lose him now.

[@Sinner2Sinners]

Lord, I am a broken man held together only by your grace i have peace knowing i can never fail on earth because i chose you. I have always known God but i had to let go of myself, my pride, my ego and stop deceiving and lying to myself to find Him. We can't do it alone because we were never meant to. I feel like when I felt depressed "broken" I always tried to figure out how how I can fix it but nothing worked and so for years it was like a rollercoaster ride. slow ups, and quick downs. but each time over 25+years looking back i realize God wanted me to let go of "me" and give in to Him. It took me so long. To not just be a believer but a follower. God Loves you. Repent and He will forgive you. Forgive all others and forgive yourself. He promised. HE>I

[@lorigorham534]

After my mom died, i.went into her house and i just acreamed and cried. The grief was so deep. I just screamed for a long time. I fell to the floor and wept. The emptiness, the hollow space in my body was overwhelming. Yes, there is freedom in each tear we drop.

[@luisejones6610]

Ryan Stevenson I awoke hearing your voice singing Its OK to cry. Its OK to fall apart after dreaming of my Mum/Mom who passed away almost 10 years ago of mtiple kinds of cancer . Up until this morning I had been unable to cry, even at her funeral. About a year after she passed she would of had her 21st real birthday on February 29th 2016 (the one birthday day she always wanted to have so she could of had 21st Birthday party). She was 83 and never did have her 21st Birthday Party. For over 5 years I've been holding in the tears the hurt and pain, unable to cry. Then half awake her face still smiling in my mind I heard your voice singing and the dam burst. I don't know the back story behind your song but thank you. Today I not only cried over missing my mother but to Christ and know HE is here and forgiving me for turning my back on Him when I left her grave side. I know GOD gifted you this song which in turn is blessing many others worldwide. I pray that you continue with your gift of allowing Christ speak to others through your songs. Louise Jones England.

[@lisaedgett8714]

I lost my mom to breast cancer when I was nine years old.. she was only 41.. theres always one part of this song that has bothered me, coming from a Christian singer, and its the part where he sings about it being "the last time we're together".. in my eyes, this part of the journey is only a microsecond (less than that!) of what we have ahead of us as believers.. and while that doesn't lessen the pain, it certainly puts something in your heart that can't be compromised to despair.. we will be together again... because of His grace.. and His sacrifice on the cross... in a place without tears, or mourning, or sadness.. so through the pain that you feel today, no matter what, hold on to that hope..dont look back to the people on the boat, keep your eyes ahead. Focus on Jesus and KNOW, that the one you lost years before, or yesterday, or hours ago, is standing in His midst.. and if you truly believe, that will help alleviate a piece of the heartache more and more each day..

[@Rootsofgrace]

I am 29. I lost my Dad to suicide when I was 13, my brother was murdered when I was 18, my now husband and I lost our first-born at 39+4weeks gestation when I was 20, and I recently took my Mom off of life-support. I did not have a great childhood and now having no parents, it feels as if there will never be any reconciliation. I have a beautiful life today... a devoted husband and 3 beautiful children who bring me so much joy. It is a peaceful life. But I struggle immensely with my past and the trauma. My beautiful husband is my greatest support... he always says it is okay to fall apart. Who wouldn't under the circumstances? Grateful for my beautiful husband and God who continues to pave this beautiful path for me.

I can't wait to be with Jesus. To run into his arms. To.see all my loved ones again. But until then I'm taking as many as I can with me!! Not my time just yet.

[@Jireh0515]

When everyone is sad, sometimes they endure this bad mood alone. At that time, the Father will say: Cry and cry out, you don’t need to endure alone, tell me all your pain, I Will listen to you and never leave. God really listens to our hearts, even if it doesn't feel it, but it is convinced.

Thank you for sharing a part of you. I know it must have been horrible and hard for you. God bless. Just know that she is no longer in pain and you two will meet again soon. You are still in her heart, as she is in yours, and God is watching over you and your family, and your wife is at home, pain free. Gentle hugs to you and your daughter.

Last year, in May, my beloved husband of 38 years got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and went home to the Lord in August. I heard this song for the first time today….and I thank God I did🙏🙏🙏☦️

[@m.francisbuchhaas972]

This song got me thinking of what my father was going through when the love of his life was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer, she was just 57 at the time and he JUST retired that same month (December of 1982). All their plans after his retirement, (they were married for 34 years) were not to be. They planned on buying a motor home and living like vagabonds touring the country. She died just nine months later.

[@dmaster92289]

My father passed away in August 2011, shortly before I left home for school. I cried a little bit initially, but it wasn't until 4 months later around Christmas...when it really hit me that he was gone, and I broke down. It was then, when I started to heal from the tragedy.

[@djbapc4]

I just found out Monday afternoon at 3:45 PM my marriage of 22 years is over. It was unexpected and it is devastating. My heart is broken. In my heartbreak I will chose to say “blessed be the name of the Lord”. He is in control of my destiny. This song has brought me comfort. Thank you

[@lettyb7438]

My husband passed away a month ago from covid Complications. I stopped listening to the radio and yesterday I finally turned it back on and this song came on. I miss him so much he was 48 yrs old. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN DAD!!

Death is cruel and its a respecter of no man, I know it most be difficult and demanding time for you mostly. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, so you remain strong for yourself. do you know the Angels are always near to those who are grieving. To whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hands of God. And i know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in our every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories

[@devinhathorn8923]

My life changed in 2016 with the death of my grandmother and in 2017 my life changed again with the death of my grandfather and again this year when my wife left me for another. God has been the only thing that has kept me here. It’s just him and my kids that I have left I never thought that I could be any more broken than I am right now. The amount of tears that I have let go is astronomical. God is the only thing keeping me here.

[@marydavis7630]

I’m ugly crying. This year makes 13 years my 2 oldest are gone. They died 2 months apart. I cry and think of them often. God is my only strength.

[@williamkeever3328]

8/24/23 My sister in law encouraged me to listen to this song. I lost my wife in February of this year. Our relationship and love for each other was unbreakable. For reasons unknown I haven’t broken down in tears. I get choked up at times, like when I listened to this song. Beautiful!

[@rebeccasainz2715]

Everyone grieves differently. If the tears swell, it’s ok to let them flow. Jesus wept. If you’re content inside and the tears don’t come, that’s ok too. Each heart is unique and God’s love knows exactly how to heal each one.

[@MrTweetylover82]

Right now this song is helping me get through what I am going from my dad has staged 4 lung cancer And it just keeps on spreading instead of getting better I'm unfortunately we are going to have to say good bye really soon not ready but the song really helps

I decided to put batteries in it and just listen to it. I put it on 104.7 the fish and this was the first song that came on. I truly did fall apart. I miss you dad. FlY HIGH WITH JESUS

My first boy died at one day old. If he had been able to speak at the time, I believe he would have told me something like the lyrics heard here. That was 35 years ago. We had 3 more who are all adults now - but there's that place in our hearts as parents where we hold him close. Thank you for this song.

My grandma died almost 48 hours ago. I still haven't processed. She wasn't sick for long (a few hours)... it hit, hard. She was on a ventilator. I was there when they pulled the plug and the heart monitor hit zero. I don't know how I'll move on with her gone. She was one of my best friends.. she helped raise me, and was there for the hardest times in my life. She taught me so many important things. Today would've been her 84th birthday.. but instead of planning a birthday party, we're planning a funeral. But one thing I know for sure. God is still good. Even though it hurts, God is still good.

[@KuhNeeSha]

My Mom died of cancer on December 17th, 2021. She was 50 years old and had been officially diagnosed February 5th, 2021. My Dad passed away of heart failure January 10th, 2018. I don’t have children. I have been married for almost 5 years. I’m 29. I feel so much pain I can hardly keep it together. I’m so afraid to fall apart. I wouldn’t know how to put myself together again or how to allow God to help me. I feel so lost…I have tried to write but I feel so songless…this song 😭 I don’t have words to describe how it makes me feel…good, bad. I don’t know. But thank you for writing it! 💔

[@lulugodzilla]

Two days ago, an 11-year old girl called in to K-Love and requested this song for her Momma. The girl's father had just recently passed, and she wanted to let her Momma know that it's alright. Oh, my, I cried my eyes out. Hugs to all.

Wow, I love this song and was thinking of a friend who's husband just got diagnosed with cancer. I wanted to check out the video and send it to her. But then.....this video was meant for me to see too. I lost my mother at 44 years of age, I was 22. it will be 40 years ago and the video gave me a whole new blessing today, thank you so much. Kind of feel like Mom was saying 'hi' God bless you!

My daddy passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack just over a year ago; he was only 63 years old, very active, and healthy as far as any of us knew, so it was a world-shattering shock to us. I just heard this song for the first time today on the radio, and the 3rd verse really hit me hard--especially the lines "Sometimes I still catch myself trying to call your phone" and "All the hopes and dreams we used to talk about are still alive in me, and I just hope I make you proud." I started working toward a Nursing degree one month after he went to be with the Lord, and I hope and pray I'll keep making him proud. 🙏🏻💞🩺

[@JeffreyWillis800]

Maybe she kept it together because she knew how painful it was for those left behind, and she knew the human life would hurt after she was gone. And she knew the only way to heal was to cry. In other words, she was much wiser than most of us. And realizing that, we can heal too.

Felt this song hard in my soul... At 1st it reminded me of a broken toxic relationship I broke off from last year. As the song continued on the radio, I knew it was about my Dad. Miss him so much. He's been gone far too long. This daddy's girl needed her Papa in so many ways over the years. Your legacy is in my blood and veins. It keeps me strong and fighting.. Loving like you did.
