All is Well
Redemption's Resonance: All's Well with Salvation
Lyrics
VERSE: Old folks tell a story
Older individuals share a narrative
Old as time a tale
The story is ancient and enduring
How a man came from heaven
Describes a belief in a man descending from heaven
To pay my ransom bail
The man from heaven came to pay a ransom, symbolizing redemption
And since I met the good Lord
Personal experience of encountering the Lord
To save my soul from Hell
Salvation from Hell through the encounter with the good Lord
CHORUS: All is well
Repetition emphasizing that everything is well
All is well
-All is well
-All is well
-VERSE: The greatest part of living
Life's significant aspect is grace
This old wretched life
Refers to the challenges of life
Is grace so freely given
Grace is freely given, particularly through Jesus
with Jesus up on high
Jesus is in a high place, possibly heaven
And it's all because of nothin more
Attribute the positive changes to nothing but three old nails, likely a reference to the crucifixion
Than 3 old rusty nails
The symbolic importance of three rusty nails
CHORUS: All is well
Reiteration that everything is well
All is well
-All is well
-All is well
-BRIDGE: All is well
Reaffirmation that everything is well, leading to a bridge
I can feel it in my heart
Expressing a feeling of wellness in the heart
I can tell
Confidence in perceiving that everything is well
All is well
Continued assurance that everything is well
All is well
Repetition of the affirmation of wellness
I should have known it from the start
Recognition that the well-being was evident from the beginning
it can save my soul from darkness
Belief that faith can rescue the soul from darkness
All is well
Reiteration that everything is well
TAG: Old folks tell a story
Recapitulation of the narrative told by older individuals
Old as time a tale
-How a man came from heaven
-To pay my ransom bail
-So all is well
Final affirmation that everything is well
