Lyrics
Refrain (x3)
Lord, I'm just grateful that I got to wake up today
You take my worries and hurries and fade them to gray
You have good plans for me, that's what You say
That's how I know everything is gonna be
Verse 1
I woke up late and the house is a wreck
Couple bills on the counter, I don't wanna check
The car needs gas and an oil change, I guess I'll get around to that next
'Cause my son's doing front flips on the flooring
I'm supposed to be a silly dinosaur
Somewhere in the mess, I look to You, and a new song starts to break through
Refrain (Repeat 2 of 3)
Chorus (x2)
Okay, we're gonna be okay
Okay, we're gonna be okay
Verse 2
I stayed up late scrolling on my phone
'Cause I said I needed space to be alone
But now I'm stressed out and overstimulated
Trying hard to not lose my patience
'Cause my kids are making murals on the wall and
I'm supposed to take another business call
Somewhere in the mess, I look to You, and a new song starts to break through
Refrain (Repeat 3 of 3)
Chorus (Repeat 2 of 2)
Bridge (x4)
Here we go
I tell my worries, You gon' have to go away
I tell my body, You gon' praise the Lord today
I know my haters, they gon' have a lot to say
But I keep on going and turn it cheek the other way
Bridge (Final)
I tell my worries, You gon' have to go away
I tell my body, You gon' praise the Lord today
I know my haters, they gon' have a lot to say
But I keep on going anyway
Final Refrain
Lord, I'm just grateful that I got to wake up today
You take my worries and hurries and fade them to gray
You have good plans for me, that's what You say
That's how I know everything
Know everything is gonna be
Outro
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
We're gonna be okay
We're gonna be okay
We're gonna be okay
We're gonna be okay
We ain't got a worry
'Cause we ain't got a worry
Now we ain't got a worry

Meaning & Inspiration
Forrest Frank's "OKAY!" turns an ordinary morning into a small case study in gratitude. The opening refrain gives thanks simply for waking up, then hands over worries and hurried mornings rather than pretending the day is easy. The first verse lists real irritations - a messy house, unpaid bills, a car overdue for an oil change - and lets a toddler's front flips interrupt the stress before a quiet turn toward prayer breaks through.
The second verse repeats that pattern with a different set of pressures: late-night scrolling, overstimulation, kids drawing on the walls, another business call waiting. Against that backdrop, the repeated line about good plans echoes the promise in Jeremiah 29:11, and the bridge answers worry, bodily anxiety and criticism from others with the same response each time - sending it away and continuing anyway. The chorus keeps its claim deliberately small: not that today is easy, but that it is okay.
