Introduction

Don’t Worry is a joyful, toe-tapping worship song inspired by Matthew 6, wrapped in the playful charm of 1950s-style jazz. With a lighthearted “scat” twist and a confident, sassy vocal delivery, this song tackles one of the most common struggles of everyday life—worry.

Through upbeat rhythms and joyful humor, Don’t Worry gently reminds us of Jesus’ words: if God lovingly cares for the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, how much more does He care for us?

This song invites listeners to loosen their grip on anxiety, trust God’s provision, and rediscover the freedom of living fully in the present moment.

The Back Story of This Song

The idea for Don’t Worry was born from a familiar scene—one that many of us know all too well.

A busy day.
A racing mind.
Thoughts jumping from tomorrow’s deadlines to next month’s unknowns.

In the middle of that tension, the words of Matthew 6 surfaced—not as a heavy command, but as a gentle, almost smiling reminder from Jesus Himself:

“Look at the birds.”
“Consider the lilies.”

What if those words weren’t meant to sound solemn—but joyful?

What if Jesus wasn’t scolding worry away, but inviting us to laugh at it, loosen its grip, and trust God instead?

That question sparked the vision for this song. Instead of a quiet, reflective melody, Don’t Worry took on the spirit of 1950s jazz—playful, confident, and full of life. The scat-style phrases represent worries being cheerfully chased away, one note at a time.

The result is a song that doesn’t deny life’s pressures, but refuses to let worry have the final word—choosing trust, joy, and faith instead.

Bible Verses (Matthew 6)

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Song Lyrics  Don't Worry ( Matthew 6 )

(Verse 1)

Workin' late, bills pile high (Doo-wop!)

Head in my hands, lettin' out a sigh (Wah-wah!)

Deadlines loom, gotta make the grade (Uh-oh!)

This rat race life, man, it's got me frayed (Scat-da-bu-di-bu-da-bu-ba!)

(Chorus)

Worry, worry, all the time (Oh-no!)

Food on the table, will it all be fine? (Ooh-wee!)

Clothes on my back, will I ever be free? (Scat-da-bu-di-bu-da-bu-ba!)

But wait a minute, what's that melody?

(Verse 2)

Hear a whisper, soft and low (Doo-wop!)

Words of wisdom, helpin' my worries go (Wah-wah!)

"Look at the birds in the sky so bright" (Yeah, yeah!)

"They don't sow or reap, yet they have their flight" (Scat-da-ba-doo-be-doo!)

(Chorus)

Don't worry, worry, ease your mind (Shake it!)

The lilies of the field, they're lookin' fine (Snap!)

Clothes on the grass, don't they always shine? (Oh-yeah!)

Your Heavenly Father, His love's divine (Scat-da-ba-doo-be-doo!)

(Bridge)

He cares for the creatures, big and small (Yeah, yeah!)

How much more for you, He'll catch your fall (Scat-da-doo-be-doo-bay!)

So trust in Him, let go of the fear (Doo-wop!)

Live for today, a brighter future is near (Wah-wah!)

(Chorus)

Don't worry, worry, ease your soul (Shake it!)

Seek first His kingdom, let the worries go (Snap!)

Food and clothes, He'll make them whole (Oh-yeah!)

Trust in His plan, watch your spirit grow (Scat-da-ba-doo-be-doo!)

(Outro)

(da-bu-di-bu-da-bu-ba!), worries fade away (Doo-wop!)

Faith in my heart, a brand new day (Wah-wah!)

Scat-da-boo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo! 

Prayer After Singing This Song

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for reminding us that we are never alone and never forgotten.
You care for the birds of the air and clothe the lilies of the field,
and You care even more deeply for us.

Forgive us for the worries we carry—
the fears about tomorrow, the pressures of today,
and the things we try to control on our own.

Help us to trust You more fully.
Teach us to live one day at a time,
to seek Your kingdom first,
and to rest in the truth that You already know our needs.

When anxiety tries to take over our hearts,
remind us to look up, to breathe, and to place our trust in You.
Fill us with joy, peace, and confidence in Your loving care.

We give our worries to You today,
and we choose faith over fear.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
