Anchor Hymns present a new version of “It’s Alright” from Matt Maher, Dee Wilson, Jasmine Mullen and Lucy Grimble, who looked at the song’s lyrics and expanded the idea into a deep Gospel groove. ‘It’s Alright’ tells the story of a lost and lonely someone being swept up in the arms of Jesus and welcomed into a loving and eternal family. As Wilson cries out towards the end of this one-take recording, this is good news “for my family in Texas, for my brothers and sisters in Ukraine, for all of God’s children”. Anchor Hymns cut across the noise of pain with a hopeful admonition that, “It’s alright, Jesus is calling from the other side, and it’s alright.”
‘It’s Alright’ by Anchor Hymns is based on an old Spiritual of the same name. The original was a simple call and response, seeking to remind each other that life is bigger than this present moment, especially when the present moment is full of anguish and suffering.
