Lyrics
Verse 1
You hear my cry
My deepest pain
You listen patiently as long as it takes
And You whisper truth
Over the lies
The words that bring me back to life
Chorus
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
You hold me in Your arms
Until my storm is gone
Everything's gonna be alright, mm
Everything's gonna be alright
Verse 2
You are the strength
When I am weak
The only One who leads my soul to perfect peace
And I will sing my way
Through the night
The words that bring me back to life
Chorus
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
You hold me in Your arms
Until my storm is gone
And everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Your love will be my song
Till all my fears are gone
And everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright

Meaning & Inspiration
Gonna Be Alright frames distress as a place where God listens, speaks truth, and supplies strength. The first verse begins with a cry of deep pain rather than an easy answer. God is pictured as patient and attentive, answering lies with words that restore life. The chorus then draws comfort from divine nearness: the storm may still be present, but the singer is held until fear passes. That assurance makes the repeated title an expression of trust rather than a denial of hardship.
The second verse names God as strength in weakness and the guide who leads the soul toward peace. Singing through the night becomes an act of confidence while circumstances remain dark. In the bridge, the song clearly echoes the promise that God works all things for good. Its closing repetition brings the themes together: steadfast love becomes the song, fear loses its control, and belief rests on Gods continuing care.
