All Right
K.L. Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Long as I've got my Lord beside me, well, it's all right
Long as I've got his hand to hold, long as he's a watchin' over mysoul
Long as everything's in his control, well, it's all right.
Moses said, it's all right
When the chariots of Pharoah followed them in their flight
While the Thebes devided in two Moses and the children walk right through
Well it's all right, it's all right
Long as I've got my Lord beside me, well, it's all right
Long as I've got his hand to hold, long as he's a watchin' over mysoul
Long as everything's in his control, well, it's all right.

Well, David said, it's all right
When the Goliath mocked him then he challenged him to a fight
Little David said a prayer and then slung a little stone and done him in
And the people said amen and praised the almighty's might.
Well it's all right, it's all right...
Long as I've got my Lord beside me, well, it's all right
Long as I've got his hand to hold, long as he's a watchin' over mysoul
Long as everything's in his control, well, it's all right.

Daniel said, it's all right
When they threw him in the lion's den that awful night
While the hungry lion's walked about Daniel said Lord please help me out
And the Lord has shut the lion's mouth and he shut it tight
Well, it's all right, yeah, it's all right
Long as I've got my Lord beside me, well, it's all right
Long as I've got his hand to hold, long as he's a watchin' over mysoul
Long as everything's in his control, well, it's all right.
(It's all right, it's all right, it's all right...)
In K.L. Jones's song "All Right", the repeated refrain "it's all right" speaks to the singer's sense of peace and assurance in his faith. The singer acknowledges that as long as he has his Lord beside him and is in control of his soul, everything will be all right. The verses each contain a story from the Bible that also conveys the message of faith and trust in God's protection and providence. In the first verse, Moses and the Israelites are being pursued by Pharaoh's army when they come to the Red Sea. Moses tells the Israelites to 'stand still and see the salvation of the Lord' as God miraculously parts the sea and allows them to cross safely to the other side. In the second verse, David faces off against Goliath who mocks him for being small and weak. David, with faith in God's power, slays Goliath with a single stone. In the final verse, Daniel--who was thrown into the lion's den by jealous officials who wanted to harm him--is saved when God sends an angel to shut the mouths of the lions who were about to attack him.
