Don't cry for me, All is Well I have faith in God, God lead, I followed
God spoke, I listened God bestowed His blessings upon me
I accepted. Don't worry, All is Well God stayed embedded in my heart, My heart never strayed from His Word
All is well My spirit is content, I shall rejoice, smile and walk toward my Father with honor,
Don't cry for me, All is Well.
