<\/a>The song I\u2019ve chosen to write about today is one such hymn. The songwriter, Todd Fields, has taken a beloved hymn of faith and added just a few lines that bring added meaning to the already great lyrics. They allow us to understand why all is well with our souls.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We all know that trials and disappointments come with the territory of life. There will be storms. Great storms. But when our soul is right with God, He will carry us through the storm and deliver us safely on the other side.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s during these times, like Horatio Spafford who lost so much on the Atlantic Sea, we are able to say, \u201cIt is Well.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We sang this version two weeks ago in worship. In the middle of verse 2, the entire church building went dark. All power was gone. The worship leader sang a little louder, the congregation kept singing and at the end of the song, the auditorium erupted in applause.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have many thoughts on that morning and I will share them at a later time, but for now, I\u2019ll move along with today\u2019s post. We sang this song again yesterday. Not because it wasn\u2019t done well the week before, but because it\u2019s message is truer than ever. When God is in the middle of our lives, whatever we go through, it is okay.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I pray that you can sing these words this morning. \u201cIt Is Well.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
VERSE 1
\nWhen peace, like a river, attendeth my way
\nWhen sorrows like sea billows roll
\nWhatever my lot, You have taught me to say
\nIt is well, it is well with my soul<\/p>\n
CHORUS 1
\nIt is well, it is well;
\nthrough the storm I am held;
\nIt is well, it is well with my soul<\/p>\n
VERSE 2
\nMy sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought
\nMy sin, not in part but the whole
\nIs nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more
\nPraise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul<\/p>\n
CHORUS 2
\nIt is well, it is well;
\nthrough the storm I am held;
\nIt is well, it is well with my soul
\nIt is well, it is well;
\nGod has won, Christ prevailed;
\nIt is well, it is well with my soul<\/p>\n
