When peace like a river attendeth my way When sorrow 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, It is well With my soul, With my soul It is well, It is well, with my soul Though Satan should buffet Though trials should come, Let this blessed assurance control. That Christ has regarded my helpless estate And has shed His own blood for my soul!!!
When I was younger my mother would tear up when she heard this hymn because this was the last hymn her grandmother sang as she died. And I just looked at it as she's cryin because her grandmother's memory was triggered and her grandmother sang this song because it might have been the last hymn she heard in church...but now that I'm older and have experienced a few things first hand I'm able to understand that because Christ is the head of my life I'm ok and even though He doesn't give me "this", it's ok because He's already given my "that" and because I know this I will bless the Lord at all times and His praise shall continuously be in my mouth, and though I may be troubled on every side I will bless God because Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world and I know that He that has begun a good work in me shall perform it til the day of Jesus Christ so hard times will come, and friends will leave me, I'll spend days cryin and nights pacing the floor and I'll try my own ways and fail but it's ok, God's got me so IT IS WELL !!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!
