Everything Will Be Alright
Beverly Crawford Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found myself
In the midst of a trial
Trying to come out stronger than ever
Hurt & pain was my load
I can't take it no more
I need Jesus to show up in my situation

Hey, I heard

The voice
Of Jesus saying come unto me
And I'll give You rest
Lay down thy head upon my breast

Everything will be alright
Trust in Him
Weeping may endure for a night
Joy will come

Alright
Gonna be alright

Gonna be alright
Everything will be alright

The load of hurt and pain has become unbearable, and the only way out is through faith in Jesus to intervene and provide the necessary relief. Then, the singer hears the voice of Jesus calling out to them, offering rest and the chance to lay down their burdens.

The chorus, which repeats several times throughout the song, provides the message of hope and assurance that despite the ongoing weeping and struggle of the night, joy will ultimately come. The song closes with the repeating affirmation that everything will be alright, encouraging listeners to trust in their faith and keep hope alive.
