After discovering Sister Rostta Tharpe I did some hunting for Arizona Dranes (one of her influences) and found this gem. The original song is in the Key of A and I've transposed it down to E becasue not everyone can sing like Arizona and I made up my own verse lyrics becasue I couldn't work out hers. I've sung this song a number of times with a congregation and it's great to sing. Oh and for those of you in Australia the song was recorded before 1958 so it's copyright free.
It's All right Now
For (E)many years I wandered, through (A)out this rugged (E)land
I’ve (B)had my share of heart ache, that few could understand
But I (E)know someone who's been there, it (A)eases me (E)how
For (B)he's my loving saviour, it's all right (E)now
CHORUS
It's (E)all right now, It's (A)all right (A)now
For (B)Jesus is my saviour, It's all right now
It's (E)all right now, It's (A)all right (E)now
For (B)Jesus is my saviour, It's (E)all right now
Now trouble still surrounds me, but I do not feel lost
I know Jesus has been there, when he died upon the cross
He shares in my suffering, his spirit helps me out
Yes he's my loving saviour, it's all right now
CHORUS
So if you are in suffering, I will be there for you
From morning until evening, Whatever I can do
To love as Jesus loved me, This is my solemn vow
For he's my loving saviour, it's all right now
CHORUS

Thanks for posting this. I was looking for lyrics to God's Gotta Crown. I can't make out all the words in the recording. I found this instead and am totally ecstatic. She's so amazing, and this is a great song.
Also, I'm glad I found the blog at all. Although I recently found a church plant that I really connect with, I've been unchurched and faithful to Christ for years. The only thing I have disliked is feeling very alone in my beliefs. But the internet always surprises me. I'll definitely peruse the rest of your site sometime in the near future.
With love & in the vine,

Hello Keri,
Glad you liked the post. Just so you know the verse lyrics are mine and not Arizona Dranes. My approximation for what she sings is...
Approximately SRT lyrics...
For many years I wandered - in times of dark and drear - my saviour was beside me - my heart I do not fear - He cheers me with his comfort - I cannot tell you how - for he's my loving saviour - It's all right now
My heart is now rejoicing - filled with the savour's love - I'm in the narrow path way - that leads to life above - I'll follow him forever - he died on Calvary’s cross - for he's my loving saviour - It's all right now
Some days a death dark valley - Maybe mine to go - But still I spare no evil - not dead to overflow - For he will be my comfort - his hand upon my brow - I shall not have a pillow - It's all right now
