All Is Well
Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Angels and men rejoice
For tonight darkness fell
Into the dawn of love's light
Sing Ale
Sing Alleluia
All is well all is well
Christ's come go and tell
That He is in the manger
Sing Ale
Sing Alleluia
All is well all is well
Lift up your voices and sing
Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior
Sing Alleluia
Sing Alleluia
All is well
Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior
Sing Alleluia
Sing Alleluia
All is well
" All Is Well" is a joyful Christmas celebration, a call for joy and rejoicing as everyone sings "Ale" and "Alleluia" to announce that "all is well" because "born is Emmanuel" and "born is our Lord and Savior." The song is an invitation to leave behind all worries and concerns, let go of the past, and embrace the happy present. The birth of Jesus Christ in the manger illuminates the darkness and brings peace on earth. Men and angels join together to sing praises and worship the Savior.
The song's message is one of warmth and expectation, preparing people for the coming of Jesus Christ. The powerful symbolism of light and dark creates a stark contrast, something that's common in Christmas music. The birth of Jesus represents hope coming into the world, and the lyrics remind listeners that no matter what challenges they are facing, everything is going to be okay. It's an excellent song for Christians looking for something to sing during Advent, Christmas, or another winter holiday.

"Thus says The Lord: Most assuredly, I say to you, any and all rituals which are rooted in paganism are an abomination in the eyes of God! And all who place My name upon them, or do them by permission in My name, have surely taken the name of The Lord in vain!
I know many say they celebrate this holiday in loving memory of My earthly birth, yet on this day I did not come into the world by way of water and blood. For that day and hour remains unknown to you, nor do you understand. For you cast off knowledge, and refuse to honor the appointed times which The Father commanded you to keep holy and remember.[1] Thus My people are indeed destroyed for lack of knowledge, as it is written.[2]
How long shall you mar My image before the people?!
How long shall My name be blasphemed
Because of you, O churches of men?!...
How long shall you commit adultery with the
Harlot and revel in the idolatries of the pagan?!
How long shall you remain married to this world
And all its fornications against God?!...
Again I tell you, ALL religions, religious rituals
And celebrations, rooted deeply in paganism,
Are an abomination in the eyes of The Most High God!
Well did My servant Sha’ul (also known as Paul) prophesy of you, saying: In the latter days some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their consciences seared as with a hot iron.[3] And well did he prophesy of this generation, saying: Men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof[4].
Therefore, woe to all who celebrate this detestable holiday of men! Woe, I say to you! And three times woe, to all who do so in MY name! Hypocrites! Workers of idolatry! You are a perverse people who do always take the name of The Lord in vain! Yet I hear you saying, “But we only seek to honor You, Lord, in any and all ways.” Yet I ask you, how can we be one if your heart belongs to another?[5] And how does reveling in those things I hate honor Me? I tell you the truth, all who love this world more than Me are not worthy of Me! And all who honor the ways of the harlot dishonor Me and shall share in her judgment! And ALL, who revel in the ways of the pagan, have cast their lot with satan! Or have you never read these Scriptures: You can not drink the cup of The Lord and the cup of demons; you can not partake of The Lord’s table and of the table of demons?![6]
Indeed, what do all these things have to do with Me? Why do you decorate the tree? Is it not beautiful as it is? And why do you decorate your house? A household, which seeks to honor Me, has no need of worldly decorations. For in humility, set apart, shall you shine forth. And why do you give worldly gifts in My name? Am I not The Gift, He who ascended on high, He who led captivity captive and gave gifts to men?[7] Therefore receive of Me, of all I offer, and be separate. For in following My ways do you give gifts to Me and to each other, even to all those around you, for the gifts I bring endure forever.
Therefore, again I ask you, what matter these things of the world and men, which shall soon pass away? Yet you say, “All these things are a metaphor and a testament to You, Lord.” Yet I tell you, anything which comes from sin is sin; do not do it! Tear down all these whitewashed walls of abomination, and do only as The Word of God instructs! For the season of giving is each and every day, and the season of love is every day, every hour, every minute, every moment of your life lived in Me. So then, share My gifts and withhold not; lift up the poor in spirit and feed the hungry, help the needy and comfort the sick, doing so in My name. Yet do not do as the pagans do, for this is sin. Be completely separate and shun these perverse holidays of men; stop breaking My Commandments!
You wish to celebrate My name and My earthly birth, do so; yea, bring glory to My name by your obedience, set apart. You wish to enjoy festivals with your family, do so; I have given you seven.[8] And in these seven is wisdom and understanding, the very mind of God, revelation beyond words, the will of God made manifest. Yet no more do as the pagans and false teachers would have you do. Cast off this holiday; throw away your tree and lights, rid your house of all decorations, turn away from these filthy traditions. Honor Me as I truly am, obey the Scriptures, and turn away from the commandments of men.[9]
Know this: The Salvation Day of Men is four-fold...
It was ordained before the foundation of the world,
Fulfilled at My birth, finished at My death on the cross,
And solidified eternally upon My resurrection...
I AM THE LORD."

"Thus says The Lord: My children, keep The Passover. Keep it according to the New Covenant, in faith and love, and remember.
Yet you who call of yourselves Christian do always dishonor Me. Behold, you pollute the glory of My sacrifice with filthy traditions and desecrate My resurrection with pagan practices, forsaking those things which you were to keep holy and remember, nor will you incline the ear. Churches of men, know you not that in these Seven (the Holy Days) is wisdom and understanding, the very mind of God?! Yet you choose vanities on top of vanities, embracing corrupt doctrine and pagan-laced tradition, placing your stamp of approval on them. For you are a most perverse and adulterous generation.
Churches of men, I am not of this world, yet you are of this world. Thus only those who obey My voice trust in Me, and only those who embrace Me as I truly am are set apart. For I live in them and they follow Me. You claim you trust in Me and that I live in you, yet not one of you obeys My voice; indeed, you ignore My example and refuse to walk in My ways. For if I truly lived in you, then you would do as I did.
Beloved, follow Me! Keep the Passover, honor the Holy Days, and remember the Sabbath. Only then will you begin to see, only then will you understand. For the Holy Days are revelation, every Sabbath a blessing, a sign between Me and you that you may know I am The Lord who sanctifies you.
And behold, four are fulfilled:
Salvation assured, sin and death overcome, the Spirit given...
Three are coming quickly:
Sin destroyed, evil bound, My seat taken, Judgment...
A new day, even one thousand years...
Then a short season, consummation...
An everlasting day in The Lord!...
Amen, and amen."
~
"Therefore, again I call you to kiss The Son
And bow before your King!...
For He alone is your salvation,
He alone is your only escape!...
He is The Light, The Only Way, The Only Truth!...
There is no life apart from Him;
Apart from Him is only darkness and death,
The wide path which leads to destruction...
YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH
Is His name, The Mashiach!...
The Bearer of your cross, The Lover of your soul,
The Risen One, The Mighty One of Jacob...
Immanu El!"

Betsy Hall
What a beautiful song!!! As long as you know Jesus, all is well, no matter what you are going through! I have been chronically ill for over 36 years. I have Lupus & it has been bad. I have been on my death bed more than 20 times. God has intervened and still has a purpose for me. He is still using me to pray for others and to share my story. I have definitely grown greatly in trusting God!!!! I am very thankful that "All is Well" It always will be if Jesus is you Savior & friend.
