Nashville, TN (September 6, 2019)
Black River Christian artist Josh Wilson has released his current single, “OK,” and it’s already broken into the Top 40 in its second week at radio. This song’s deeply personal message was inspired by a season of doubt and anxiety and recently became a fresh reminder for this singer/songwriter.

“This song is all about bringing our brokenness to Jesus and letting him heal us. The message came from a pretty dark season of doubt, depression, and anxiety. I’m so thankful that the last few months have been much better in terms of mental and physical health. Even though I’ve been in a better place recently, I’ve continued to sing ‘OK’ at every concert, because my guess is that someone each night is in a place where they need to hear the words, ‘it’s okay not to be okay.’

Recently at a show in Sacramento, the person that needed to hear it was me. Earlier that day, shortly after I arrived in California, our rental car was broken into and my backpack was stolen. I do have insurance, and most of what was taken can be replaced, but there were a few sentimental things that are gone forever, like my journal and cards Becca gave me for our 10-year-anniversary. Before I jumped back into piecing things back together, I took time to thank God for loving me and for being the one who holds everything together, even when I can’t (Colossians 1). Last week, I was living out the words to my own song again.” —Josh Wilson

“OK” Lyrics:
Shame says you’ve gone too far this time
Shame says you’ve finally crossed the line
Shame says you have to hide away
But shame is shattered by amazing grace

So come just as you are

Bring your broken heart
Your secrets and your scars
You were never meant to carry all this weight
Let your walls come down
And let the tears fall out
And know that Jesus loves you just the same
It’s okay not to be okay
It’s okay not to be okay

This, this is where the healing starts
This is where the light can crush the dark
Here, inside your pain, inside your doubt
Here is where He’s going to meet you now

Bring your broken heart
Your secrets and your scars
You were never meant to carry all this weight
Let your walls come down
And let the tears fall out
And know that Jesus loves you just the same
It’s okay not to be okay
It’s okay not to be okay

You don’t have to have it all together
You don’t have to have it all together
You don’t have to have it all together
So come just as you are

Bring your broken heart
Your secrets and your scars
You were never meant to carry all this weight
Let your walls come down
And let the tears fall out
And know that Jesus loves you just the same
It’s okay not to be okay
It’s okay not to be okay
It’s okay
It’s okay not to be okay

Wilson will be sharing this song live, as well as so many more of his other hits and songs from his most recent EP, Don’t Look Back, while on tour this fall. Fans can catch him on his unique solo looping concert experience nights as well as The Roadshow Futures Tour.
