Lyrics
Verse One When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll— Whatever my lot, You have taught me to say, “It is well… it is well with my soul.” When the tears won’t stop their falling, When the answers feel delayed— Still my heart repeats the promise That Your presence does not fade. Chorus (Solo with choir warmth) It is well… It is well… Even when it hurts, Lord— It is well. It is well… It is well… In the fire and the storm, God— It is well. Verse Two Though trials may press and the night grows long, Though the weight feels heavy and cold— You are still my strength and my portion, Lord, You are still the keeper of my soul. Every burden, every battle, All the seasons I endure— You are faithful in the breaking, You are faithful, strong, and sure. Chorus (Choir expanding behind the soloist) It is well… It is well… Even when it hurts, Lord— It is well. It is well… It is well… Through the valley and the shadow— It is well. Bridge (Solo only—raw, emotional) When I cannot understand it… It is well. When my heart is barely standing… It is well. When the pain keeps echoing loudly… It is well. When the questions crowd around me… It is well. For You hold the world in power, And You hold my fragile soul— So I speak it through the trembling: “It is well… it is well.” Vamp (Choir swelling; modulate) It is well… It is well… It is well with my soul. Yes, it is well— It is well— It is well with my soul. In the fire— In the storm— In the midnight— In the morning— It is well… It is well… Final Tag (solo) Even when it hurts… Even when I can’t see the way… Even when my heart is breaking… It is well… With my soul.
