Lyrics
Verse 1
I've had so many tears and sorrows
Had questions for tomorrow
There've been times I didn't know right from wrong
But in every situation, God gave me trusted consolation
And He only gave me trials to make me strong
Chorus
Through it all, Through it all
I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God
Chorus
Through it all, Through it all
I've learned to depend upon His Word
Verse 2
So I thank Him for the mountains
And I thank Him for the valleys
And I thank Him for the storms He's brought me through
For if I'd never had a problem
How would I know that He could solve them
How would I know what faith in God could do
Chorus
I'm singin' through it all, through it all
I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God
Chorus
Through it all, Through it all
I've learned to depend upon His Word
Oh I've learned to depend upon His Word

Meaning & Inspiration
Through It All is a testimony that trust grows through trials. The first verse speaks of many tears and sorrows, questions about tomorrow and times of not knowing right from wrong, yet God gave trusted consolation and only gave trials to make the singer strong. The chorus repeats that through it all the singer learned to trust in Jesus and God and depend on His Word.
The second verse gives thanks for the mountains, valleys and storms, asking how anyone would know that God can solve problems if there had never been one. These ideas match Romans 5:3-5, James 1:2-4, Psalm 119:71 and 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. The thankful view of hardship and the simple, repeated chorus make the song a gentle encouragement for anyone going through difficulty.
