about

Inspiration for this track hit me about two years ago on a trip to Iona.
It happened quite unexpectedly, in the early morning Anglican service at Bishops House. Andrew Spurr vicar of Evesham was giving the sermon.

To be perfectly honest, this wasn’t my usual kind of heavenly watering hole.

But everything changed when “The Vic” calmly launched his lethal phrase into the congregation…
“If you’re OK then I’m Ok”
This seemingly harmless expression – flew in right under the proverbial radar – instantly detonating - like a spiritual IED …KaaaaBoom!!
Since then it’s relentlessly pestered me [in a good way] – until I had to do something about it.
One easy task was to record this ditty before you; the much harder part is to live it out.

The finer points of what this track entails, can be explored further in Isaiah 58.
Which squirmingly read like a police sergeants charge sheet, against an offender.
In this case its Gods people [in any era] especially when they knowingly don’t do the “GOOD STUFF”!!!
We need to do the GOOD STUFF more than ever
…Anytime-Everywhere…. Otherwise how can we claim to be His?

If you appreciate the sentiment of this track, then please make a DONATION either by downloading the song or donating directly to our designated charity for this project www.embracethemiddleeast.org

Embrace the Middle East is a Christian charity with over 160 years' experience helping people of all faiths and none to free themselves from a life of poverty and injustice.

LYRICS

If you’re OK - I’m OKAY

Hello Mrs. jones …how’s ya love life
Its OK now I got my Eric at home from the hospikle
That’s great…let me know if there’s anything you need …Ill sort you

Cause if you’re OK - then I’m OKAY
If you’re OK - then I’m OKAY
Are you OK - then I’m OK?
The Kingdom is being made this way
Kingdom is on its way

Time to go out into community
Daddy says its time to go
Time not to whisper
But whisper out loud
All those things that you know
What do you know?
Now
Now is the time Repeat
Talkin bout the tickin time
Talkin bout
You’ve only got this time
Is that the time

If you’re OK - I’m OKAY Chorus

Yeah this is a different society
Them and us -
Us and them - repeat
It’s all a mirror
Were lookin in a mirror
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the OKAYist of them all?

If you’re OK - I’m OKAY Chorus
Then were gonna have a great day

We ain’t doing anything in here
We gotta get out of this place
So get your backside off the chairs
Come with me to the guys out there
Sing with me
If you’re OK - then I’m OKAY - CHORUS
Sorry you’re not OK - Why what’s up
You haven’t eaten
Mmm I’m actually a bit peckish…do you fancy some fish n ships
Cup o tea milk two sugars …is that OK
Tell you what’s not OK
Getting your house burgled
Fly tippin
Killin the seas
Hungry. …babies
Drownin …refugees
Cough cough…I’m just sayin …its not OK
It’s not …OK
Cause if your OK ...then I’m OKAY

If you’re OK
