After All
Finding Faith and Strength: The Meaning Beyond the Song
Lyrics
After all this life is over and
Reflecting on life's completion
Our burdens have been lifted
Relief from life's challenges
And we stand upon the mountain up so tall
Standing triumphantly on a metaphorical mountain
Looking over in that city that
Observing the city prepared by the Savior
The Savior is preparing
Assurance of divine preparation
Gives me faith that I can make it after all
Faith in the ability to overcome challenges
Trials here are sometimes some like many
Trials in life, varied and numerous
And at times my feet grow weary
Weary moments during life's challenges
Till it seems I'll almost
Nearing the brink of stumbling and falling
Stumble then and fall
Possible moments of vulnerability
But the tender hand that leads me
Guidance from a caring and gentle hand
Is the hand that keeps me steady
Steadfast support in times of instability
And by faith I know I'll make it after all
Faith-driven confidence in overcoming challenges
By myself I cannot make it
Recognition of personal limitations
But I know He's there to help me
Belief in divine assistance during struggles
He will hear my cry if only I will call
Confidence in divine responsiveness to a call for help
Just keep trusting, keep on believing
Encouragement to maintain trust and belief
Are the words I hear Him whisper
Whispers of assurance to persist in faith
Just a few more days to labor after all
A reminder of the temporary nature of life's labor
