It Is Well With My Soul
I was preparing for www.dailyliveworship.com podcast & Bryan was singing, “It Is Well With My Soul” and I looked up the meaning behind the song.
The writer of the great song, Horatio G. Spafford, was a successful lawyer in Chicago, and was very dedicated to Christ. He lost some substantial real estate in the Chicago fire that devasted Chicago in the 1870’s. Prior to that, he lost his son. Then, 2 years later, his four girls drown aboard an English vessel accident. After going to where the girls drown, with pen & paper in hand, he wrote this incredible song titled, “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.”
So, prior to reading this, I was complaining about loosing Bryan and how hard it is to be a single parent to four girls, but after reading Spafford’s story. I decided instead I will say, “IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL”
What are you going through that you might just need to say with me now, out loud- IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!!
