Lyrics
Even on the darkest day, You say, "Do not fear"
Even in the valleys low I know You are here
In the presence of my enemies, You have made a place for me
And You restore my soul
Chorus:
All the days, all the days of my life
I will rest, I am safe by Your side
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
All the days, all the days of my life
A place for me to catch my breath and rest, be still my heart
Nothing more and nothing less, my God, You're all I want
In Your hand, I find my peace, You will always comfort me
Oh, never let me go
Chorus:
All the days, all the days of my life
I will rest, I am safe by Your side
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
All the days, all the days of my life
All the days of my life, yeah, yeahh
[Bridge]
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever, forever
Chorus:
All the days, all the days of my life
I will rest, I am safe by Your side
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
All the days, all the days of my life
All the days, all the days of my life (All the days of my life)
I will rest, I am safe by Your side
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
All the days, all the days of my life
All the days, all the days of my life
All the days, all the days of my life

Meaning & Inspiration
All The Days draws its language and imagery from Psalm 23, presenting God as a faithful shepherd through darkness, danger, and rest. Valleys and enemies do not disappear from the lyric, but divine presence changes their meaning. Safety is found at the side of God, peace is received from his hand, and the weary soul is restored. The chorus gathers these assurances into a simple confession that goodness and mercy remain present throughout life.
The bridge makes the biblical connection especially clear by repeating the desire to dwell in the house of the Lord forever. That hope gives the song both a present and lasting perspective: comfort is available in trouble, and fellowship with God remains the final destination. Psalm 23:4-6 directly matches the valley, prepared place, restored soul, goodness, mercy, and dwelling imagery. The song therefore serves as a calm worship response to fear, affirming trust in the nearness and care of God.
