about
All Shall Be Well was written by singer-songwriter John Van Deusen. It takes God's goodness as a cue that God will continue to provide in the future. While the imagery here of all the lights in the sky seems almost childish, the work that Van Deusen asks God to do in the very next verse relies on a mature faith, to "use me as you will." Maybe this is part of the reason Jesus says, "you must be like a child," and Paul says, "you must grow up."
Our souls long to know that "All Shall Be Well," but we are blessed to receive such assurance not when we take control of our lives and forget the one who has given us all things, but when we submit our lives to the Lord of the starry sky, who promises to make us a blessing to His bride until he welcomes us home.
lyrics
Thank You for the sun
Thank You for the moon
Thank You for the stars at night and their darkness too
Bless You for Your peace
Bless You for Your grace
Bless You for Your perfect love and Your perfect ways
And all shall be well
All shall be well
All manner of things shall be well
And all shall be well
All shall be well
All manner of things shall be well
Use me as You will
Remove my selfish pride
Create in me a servant heart to bless Your holy bride
And when my work is done and the seeds are sown
Please receive my spirit Lord and welcome me home
And all shall be well
All shall be well
All manner of things shall be well
And all shall be well
All shall be well
All manner of things shall be well
