It is Well with My Soul

Just wanted to share this hymn with all of you. This is my refrain as I go through these trials God has seen fit to bring me through.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know,
It is well, it is well with my soul. 


It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.


Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,

And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.


My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!—
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!


It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.


For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.


It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.


But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!


It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.


And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
A song in the night, oh my soul!.


It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

“If God has shown us bad times ahead, it's enough for me that He knows about them. That's why He sometimes shows us things, you know -- to tell us that this too is in His hands.”

"Though He slay me, yet will I praise Him." --Job 13:15.

At the moment, life is a little rough and crazy, and the future very uncertain. But God is working all things for good, and my faith in Him shall not be shaken.
