What’s a song that changed your life?
Here is the beautiful hymn – perfect for 35 years of God’s faithfulness in my marriage today being my wedding anniversary:
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL
By Horatio G. Spafford (1873)
Verse 1-4:
Verse 1: 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,x2 with my soul,
It is well,x2 with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Verse 2: 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.
Chorus is repeated.
Verse 3: 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!
Chorus is repeated
Verse 4: 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.-
Chorus is repeated
–This hymn was written by a man who lost everything, but still trusted God. Just like my wife and I have trusted God for 35 years, through joy and trials.
