In November of 2006, Clay Aiken released All Is Well, a studio EP.  The four-song EP was originally an exclusive at Wal-Mart.  However, in December of 2007, the album was picked up by iTunes.

All four of the Christmas songs are beautiful holiday songs and produced by some of the top producers in the music industry.

Extended play (EP) albums seldom chart or have their sales tracked.  However, as with many of Clay’s albums, All Is Well  broke some tradition in sales and popularity. The EP debuted at number 54 on the Billboard Charts.

The first track on the album is the beautiful song, All Is Well.  This song was written by Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick and included on Smith’s 1989 album, Christmas.

Michael Smith is a 55 year old contemporary Christian musician.  He is a three-time Grammy Award winner, and has earned over 40 Dove Awards.  He has recorded 29 #1 hit songs, fourteen gold albums, and five platinum albums.  He has sold more than 13 million albums.

Wayne Kirkpatrick is 51 and someone who stays in the background while he works as a very successful musician and composer.  He wrote the beautiful lyrics to All Is Well

 All is well – all is well
Angels and men rejoice
For tonight darkness fell
Into the dawn of love’s light
Sing A-le
Sing Alleluia
All is well –  all is well
Let there be peace on earth
Christ is come – go and tell
That He is in the manger
Sing A-le
Sing Alleluia

All is well – all is well
Lift up your voice and sing
Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior
Sing Alleluia
Sing Alleluia
All is well

Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior
Sing Alleluia
Sing Alleluia
All is well
