A lot of stress has rolled into my life in the past day or so. Some of it was expected, some of it was very unexpected. As I’ve been searching for some comforting words, for some peace in the midst of all this, the Lord led me to this classic hymn. I think it says everything.
It Is Well With My Soul
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
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 has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for 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, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Serah, I love this hymn and it does bring such comfort furing storming times. Praying that this difficult times passes quickly.

This is one of my favorite hymns and the one I have requested at my funeral (who knows if anyone will comply). Have you ever read the history of this song??? It is equally touching and reassuring.
