All Must Be Well

We sang this song at my church this past week and the lyrics really spoke to me in this support raising process. There are highs and lows each day, even every hour as I am forced to trust the Lord with the results. It can be an exuberant experience when I see prayers answered, but also a frustrating and weary process as the task seems overwhelming. The truth is, however, through all the ups and downs, all must be well because the God of the universe is in control. I encourage you to take a moment to slow down and rest in these lyrics. They speak truth that I think we all too easily forget.

Through the love of God our Savior, all will be well

Free and changeless is His favor, all is well

Precious is the blood that healed us

Perfect is the grace that sealed us

Strong the hand stretched forth to shield us

All must be well

Though we pass through tribulation, all will be well

Ours is such a full salvation, all is well

Happy still in God confiding

Fruitful if in Christ abiding

Steadfast through the Spirit's guiding

All must be well

We expect a bright tomorrow; all will be well

Faith can sing through days of sorrow, all is well

On our Father's love relying

Jesus every need supplying

Yes in living or in dying

All must be well
