I sit here and ponder just what God's grace has granted me and my Wife, it brought me back to this song. It's an old hymn but a powerful one. Not too unlike Scripture, it tends to have a deeper meaning when you really slow it down to think about the words. Really consider what it means. Peace as the world wants it means that regardless of what others will or want you got your own way. Peace as God offers it is you getting His Will His way and it's revealed to you for what it is...it's beyond imagination, beyond understanding. It's a joy so rich and beautiful we can't describe it.
It Is Well
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
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 (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 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 (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, 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
