Feels so good to know that He understands all of my problems
Feels so good to know that He understands all of my worries
I can feel Him within, He promised never to leave me
I'm not along cause He promised to keep me.

When I can't comprehend, He understands all or my problems
I hold on to His hand, he understands all of my worries
When this life gets me down, He promised never to leave me
I'm not along cause He promised to keep me.

Hold on a little longer, He will never leave you
Hold on, keep your head up,He will deliver
Hold on a little while, He will never leave you
Hold on, don't you give up , He will deliver

Through It All
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on March 10, 2006, as part of the album *7 Days*, Deitrick Haddon’s "Through It All" emerged as a potent declaration of faith, offering solace and strength to anyone navigating life’s complexities. This song isn't just a collection of notes and words; it’s a profound spiritual affirmation, a melodic sermon that speaks directly to the soul’s deepest needs for reassurance and divine connection. It immediately establishes itself as an anthem for perseverance, reminding us that even in our most challenging moments, we are never truly alone.
The underlying narrative of "Through It All" is a universal human experience: the struggle with problems, worries, and feelings of being overwhelmed. Haddon articulates the profound relief that comes from knowing God not only sees our struggles but intimately understands them. This understanding isn't a passive observation but an active, empathetic knowledge that transcends human comprehension. The song speaks to the fundamental human desire for a reliable constant, a steadfast presence in a world often defined by change and uncertainty. It’s a testament to the peace found in trusting divine promises, particularly the assurance that God will never abandon those who believe.
Delving into the lyrics reveals a rich tapestry of biblical truths, making the song a powerful reminder of God’s character and commitment to humanity. The opening lines, acknowledging God's understanding of "all of my problems" and "all of my worries," resonate deeply with Scriptures like Psalm 139, which declares God’s comprehensive knowledge of our every thought and path (Psalm 139:1-4). Similarly, Hebrews 4:15 assures us that Jesus, our High Priest, can "sympathize with our weaknesses," having experienced human trials himself. This divine empathy is a cornerstone of the song's comforting message. The repeated promise, "He promised never to leave me," echoes fundamental covenantal declarations found throughout the Bible, from Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:5, where God explicitly states, "I will never leave you nor forsake you," to Jesus' final command in Matthew 28:20, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age." This constant presence forms the bedrock of our confidence, transforming fear into faith.
The chorus then amplifies this assurance into a practical application: "I don't have to worry cause I know that Lord you're with me through it all." This isn't a naive dismissal of hardship but a profound reorientation of perspective. It aligns perfectly with Philippians 4:6-7, which urges us to "be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." The very essence of the gospel is that God’s presence transforms our experience *of* difficulty, not necessarily removing the difficulty itself. When the song declares "Lord you're with me through it all," it invokes images like Psalm 23:4, where the psalmist walks "through the valley of the shadow of death" yet fears no evil because "You are with me." It’s a powerful affirmation that God’s companionship is the ultimate antidote to worry and fret.
The second verse reinforces this by acknowledging moments of human limitation – "When I can't comprehend, He understands." This highlights the vast difference between our finite understanding and God's infinite wisdom, inviting us to lean not on our own understanding but on His (Proverbs 3:5-6). The act of "hold[ing] on to His hand" becomes a metaphor for active trust and reliance. The bridge then serves as an exhortation to unwavering faith, urging us to "Hold on a little longer," to "keep your head up," and to "don't you give up." These are not empty platitudes but direct calls to action rooted in the certainty of God's intervention. Scripture repeatedly encourages perseverance, recognizing that trials produce endurance (James 1:12; Romans 5:3-4). The unwavering promise, "He will deliver," brings to mind countless biblical narratives of God’s rescue, from Psalm 34:19, stating that "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all," to 2 Corinthians 1:10, where Paul testifies that God "delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us." "Through It All" ultimately serves as an inspiring and essential reminder that in every season of life, God's understanding, presence, and unwavering commitment to deliver are our unshakeable anchors.
