Pause for Prayer: SUNDAY 9/24

Image source

Today's Pause for Prayer is a powerful song, sung powerfully by hundreds gathered at a Gospel conference.  This musical style may not be for everyone - in fact, it's not my usual bent - but this piece took hold of a deep place in my heart and perhaps it will reach yours, too...

It Is Well With My Soul

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 (it is well)
With my soul (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!

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!

It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul!
