The story behind “Good Day” by Forrest Frank

Story behind the song “Good Day”:

“In the same way that Christians have sacrificed their value systems to absorb worldly art, I think what’s coming is the world’s going to sacrifice its value systems to absorb Christian art.”

“Content is an art form. I try to be kind to my viewers. It’s like running a restaurant. You’re not gonna just be like, ‘Here’s your food.’ No, it’s like, ‘Here’s your perfect plate I made for you. I hope you love it.’”

“Christian audiences are looking for songs that speak to their life and point to Jesus at the same time. Christian music has always had to serve a dual purpose.”

Related Bible Verses: Ephesians 2:7-10 MSG

7-10 “Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.”

Lyrics to “Good Day”:

Okay, okay, okay, okay

I'm 'bout to have a good day (good day)
No matter what they say (what they say)
Sun is shining down on me
Birds are singing praise
I'm 'bout to have a good day (good day)
In every single way
The God who made the universe
Knows me by my name
So it's a good day

Baby, in my arms walking through the neighborhood
Living in the present, not woulda shoulda or coulda
I remember back when I was low as a rug
Now I'm standing up look at what my father does

Turning old things new
Grey skies blue
Hear the church saying, "Won't He do it?"
I know He's got my back
That's why I'm singing that

It's a good day, mmm no, it's great
Everything I prayed for didn't come in late
I got all I need and I didn't have to wait
Ask me if you love me, you didn't hesitate

Turning old things new
Grey skies blue
Hear the church saying, "Won't He do it?"
I know He's got my back
That's why I'm singing that

I'm 'bout to have a good day (good day)
No matter what they say (no matter what they say)
Sun is shining down on me
Birds are singing praise
I'm 'bout to have a good day (good day)
In every single way
God who made the universe
Knows me by my name
So it's a good day

It's a good day
(Good day)
It's a good day
It's a good day
