It Is Well With My Soul

I have never experianced a wedding so worshipful in spirit or so centered on the beauty of Christ as I had the opportunity to tonight. I went to Nathan Hendricks and Lindsay Walters wedding in Norton, Ks and it was one of the most beautiful and powerful weddings a person could experiance. Half way through the ceremony those in attendance sang in worship the songs of Come Thou Fount, In Christ Alone, and It is Well With my Soul (acapella). The worship leader explained that when Lindsey was choosing songs she wanted to end with It is well with my Soul because she knew that in their marriage there would be times of joy, times of struggle, and times of suffering but they always want their marriage to have the attitude of praising the Lord in all circumstances and saying IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL. As I sang the words my heart broke. God has blessed us with all we need. It took a wedding to help me see that sorrow and joy alike were all meant to inspire deep worship of gratitude to our powerful God! Let us sing forth the power of these words that whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to Say IT IS WELL, IT IS WELL, WITH MY SOUL!



When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot,
Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

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.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, 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 the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
