Song

It Is Well With My Soul

PeaceTrustAssuranceSuffering

A quiet confession sung from the middle of grief, not after it — tracing God’s nearness to the brokenhearted through waters that don’t sweep over, fire that doesn’t consume, and floods that become the very place His name is learned, resolving in a whisper that was never about the hurt being over: it is well with my soul.

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you."
John 14:27

A song for the road you're on.

It Is Well With My Soul

[Verse 1]
I got the call on a Sunday morning
The kind that drops you to your knees
The house went silent, the world kept turning
And I couldn't find the air to breathe
But You stay close to the brokenhearted
You come running when the spirit breaks
I was crushed down low, but I wasn't abandoned
You were holding what I couldn't take

[Chorus]
When peace like a river runs gentle and slow
Or sorrow rolls in like the tide
Whatever You send, You have taught me to know
It is well, it is well with my soul

[Verse 2]
When I pass through the waters, You will be with me
The rivers won't drag me below
When I walk through the fire, I will not be burned
'Cause You never let go of Your own
Every flood that I feared would be the end of me
Became the place I learned Your name
You don't promise the storm won't find me
You promise You'll stand in the rain

[Chorus]
When peace like a river runs gentle and slow
Or sorrow rolls in like the tide
Whatever You send, You have taught me to know
It is well, it is well with my soul

[Bridge]
Close... You are close to the brokenhearted
Near... when the night comes to stay
I don't sing this because the hurt is over
I sing it because You never walked away

[Final Chorus]
When peace like a river runs gentle and slow
Or sorrow rolls in like the tide
Whatever You send, You have taught me to know
It is well, it is well with my soul

[Outro]
It is well... it is well... with my soul
