It is well...

I've been thinking lately about the story of Horatio G. Spafford. You may not recognize the name, but he wrote the song "It Is Well".  I was playing the piano and flipped to this song and it just struck me how beautiful this song is. Here are the words, all 4 verses:

"It Is Well

By Horatio G. Spafford 

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. 

Chorus:

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 hath shed His own blood for my soul. 

It is well (It is well)

With my soul (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 in whole--

Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more, 

Praise The Lord, praise The Lord, O my soul!

It is well (it is well)

With my soul (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,

"Even so" 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. "

I encourage you to look up his story is you don't know it already. 

That's it for now!! Til next time,
