All Must Be Well

by Wendell Kimbrough

Theology & Meaning

Based on Julian of Norwich's 'All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well' — a profound medieval Christian mysticism of divine providence. The song places this contemplative theology in a fresh congregational setting.

Worship Leadership Tips

Ideal for services on suffering, uncertainty, and trust. The gentle triple-time waltz feel creates a rocking, cradling sensation fitting for comfort. Works particularly well in times of congregational difficulty or national crisis.

Arrangement Tips

Triple time — waltz-like. Simple piano or acoustic guitar. The gentleness of the arrangement should reflect the pastoral heart of the lyric. Female vocal leads particularly well. Allow the congregation to experience the calm before adding any instrumentation.
