Brian And Jenn Johnson - You're Gonna Be OK Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
I know it's all you've got to just, be strong
And it's a fight just to keep it together, together
I know you think, that you are too far gone
But hope is never lost
Hope is never lost
Pre-Chorus
Hold on, don't let go
Hold on, don't let go
Chorus
Just take, one step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You'll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
You're gonna be ok
Verse 2
I know your heart is heavy from those nights
Just remember that you're a fighter, a fighter
You never know just what tomorrow holds
And you're stronger than you know
Stronger than you know
Pre-Chorus
Hold on, don't let go
Hold on, don't let go
Chorus
Just take, one step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You'll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
One step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You'll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
You're gonna be ok
Outro
And when the night, is closing in
Don't give up and don't give in
This won't last, it's not the end, it's not the end
You're gonna be ok
When the night, is closing in
Don't give up and don't give in
This won't last, it's not the end, it's not the end
You're gonna be ok

You're Gonna Be Okay (Lyric Video) - Brian & Jenn Johnson | After All These Years
Meaning & Inspiration
"You're Gonna Be Okay," by Brian and Jenn Johnson, released in 2017 as part of their album *After All These Years*, is a profound anthem of unwavering hope and reassurance delivered during times of intense trial. While the sonic landscape itself is comforting, the true power of this song resides in its direct, scripturally-rooted message of divine faithfulness, designed to anchor the soul when life's storms rage. The song speaks directly to the anxieties and fears that can grip us, reminding us that our Heavenly Father’s plan is always unfolding, even when obscured by present difficulties. It’s a declaration of trust in a God who promises strength and peace, echoing promises found throughout Scripture. For instance, the assurance that "you're gonna be okay" directly mirrors the sentiment in Isaiah 41:10, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." This isn't a platitude; it's a divine guarantee from a God who has never failed and will never fail His children. The song encourages a perspective shift, urging listeners to look beyond the immediate circumstances and anchor their faith in God’s unchanging character and His eternal purposes. It calls to mind Jesus' words in John 16:33, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." This song is a powerful reminder that even in the face of overwhelming challenges, the ultimate victory is already secured in Christ, and His presence with us guarantees our eventual triumph and peace. Brian and Jenn Johnson have crafted a powerful tool for spiritual encouragement, a sonic prayer that can lift weary hearts and strengthen resolve, reminding us that no matter the struggle, God's hand is guiding us toward a future of hope and peace, as promised throughout His Word.
