all will be well

One of the best gifts I received this year was hearing--twice!--Karen McCarthy sing Meg Barnhouse's song "All Will Be Will." It's on her CD, "Mango Thoughts in a Meatloaf Town" which you can buy here. The lyrics:
Julian, you are holy, you are holding my hand and Julian, you are holy, you are holding my hand.

She said, "All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well."

I said, "Julian, do you not know, do you not know about sorrow and Julian, do you not know, do you not know about pain?"I said," Julian, do you not know, do you not know about hunger and Julian, do you not know, do you not know about shame?"

She said, "All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well."

I said, "Julian, do you not know, do you not know about loneliness, and Julian, do you not know, do you not know about disease?" I said Julian, do you not know, do you not know about cruelty?" I said Julian, it's too much. It brought me to my knees."

She said, "All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well."

She said, "No one does not know, does not know about sorrow and no one does not know, does not know about pain." She said "No one does not know, does not know about hunger and no one does not know, does not know about shame."

She said, "All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well."

She said, "No one does not know, does not know about loneliness and no one does not know, does not know about disease." She said, "No one does not know, does not know about cruelty." She said, "I know, it's too much. It brought me to my knees where I heard:

'All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well.'"

She said, "Babygirl, do you not know, do you not know about tenderness and Babygirl, do you not know, do you not know about friends?" She said, "Babygirl, do you not know, do you not know about the Spirit?" She said, "Babygirl, do you not know, it's only love that never ends and so,

all will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well."
