All Things Are Possible
Theology & Meaning
Darlene Zschech wrote All Things Are Possible in 1997 and it became one of the defining expressions of faith-declaration worship from the Hillsong tradition. The theological foundation is Matthew 19:26 — 'with God all things are possible' — and the song is essentially a sustained act of declaring that truth into the congregation's present circumstances. The declaration form of the song is intentional: speaking into existence what is not yet seen, as an act of trust that God's word is more reliable than current experience.
Worship Leadership Tips
All Things Are Possible works as a high-energy declaration song particularly effective for congregations in need of faith encouragement when circumstances feel limiting. Darlene Zschech's Hillsong recordings are among the most historically significant contemporary worship recordings, and this song represents the best of that era's confident, doxological faith. Use it in series on prayer, on faith, or in any service where you want the congregation to lift their eyes to what God is capable of rather than what their circumstances suggest.
Arrangement Tips
The upbeat tempo and driving feel call for full production — piano, electric guitar, bass, drums, and full backing vocals. Darlene Zschech's Hillsong recordings are the natural reference point. The G major key is bright and accessible for congregational singing. Allow the energy to build from verse to chorus and do not hold back in the bridge; this song was written to create a full-voiced congregational declaration and the arrangement should facilitate that.
