Lyrics
I've been to lots of places,
I've seen a lot of faces,
there's been times I felt so all alone.
But in my lonely hours,
yes, those precious lonely hours,
Jesus lets me know that I was His own
Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God.
Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word
Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God.
Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.
I thank God for the mountains,
and I thank Him for the valleys,
I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.
For if I'd never had a problem,
I wouldn't know God could solve them,
I'd never know what faith in God could do
Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God.
Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.

Meaning & Inspiration
Trust in God is presented here as a lesson learned through lived difficulty. Loneliness, mountains, valleys, storms, and unresolved problems form the setting, while Jesus remains near and makes belonging known. The chorus gathers those experiences into a clear confession: hardship taught the singer to trust Jesus, trust God, and depend upon the Word. Faith is therefore shown as practiced reliance rather than an abstract idea.
The later verse gives thanks for both high and low places without pretending that pain is pleasant. Each trial becomes an occasion to discover that God can solve what human strength cannot. The repeated refrain reinforces a mature confidence shaped by memory: the singer can look back at isolation and trouble and recognize divine help throughout them. This perspective closely fits biblical themes of trusting the Lord, finding help in distress, and developing endurance through suffering. The central message remains steady from beginning to end: dependence upon God grows as faith is exercised through every circumstance.
