  • My Uncle is dying right now, but I will continue to say 'It is well with my soul'

  • Maybe I was wrong about his wife dying. I must be confusing her with another hymn writer's story.

  • This song was penned by Horatio Spafford. You have to know his story in order to really grasp this song. He lost his son to scarlet fever, I believe, then lost his business to a fire & was made to pay for the damages due to some legal technicallity. He heard of work & put his wife & 3 daughters on a ship to go ahead of him but the ship sank & his daughters drowned.

  • His wife took a train back to be with Heratio but train crashed & she was killed. Yet through out all this tragedy he was still able to put his trust in the Lord and say "IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL."

  • Who is the artist?

  • Love this version!

  • Thanks Jesus! My savior

  • CAN'T SAVE A SH.... BUT CAN SAVE YOU!!!!

  • @picitup83 im only 10 God Bless =)

  • I LOVE YOU, LORD! No one can ever repay you for what you did for my soul! It is well with my soul. <3

  • A classic song! So uplifting and ministering....great to listen to when our problems start to overwhelm us... Hallelujah!! What a beautiful voice too!

  • Continued, see below

    And she recalled the words of a friend, "It's easy to be grateful

    and good when you have so much, but take care that you are not a fair-weather friend to God." Upon hearing about the accident, Horatio boarded the next ship out of New York to join his bereaved wife. During this voyage, the captain of the ship called him to the bridge. "A careful reckoning has been made", he said, "and we are now passing the place where the de Havre was wrecked." Horatio then wrote this hymn.

    It sank in only 12 minutes, claiming the lives of 226 people. All four of the Spafford daughters drowned. Anna was saved by a plank which floated beneath her unconscious body and propped her up. When the survivors of the wreck had been rescued, Mrs. Spafford's first reaction was one of complete despair. Then she heard a voice speak to her, "You were spared for a purpose."

  • Continued, see below

    And, not only did they need the rest -- DL Moody needed the help. He was

    traveling around Britain on one of his great evangelistic campaigns. Horatio and Anna planned to join Moody in

    late 1873. And so, the Spaffords traveled to New York in November, from where they were to catch the French

    steamer 'Ville de Havre' across the Atlantic. Yet just before they set sail, a last-minute business development

    forced Horatio to delay.

  • When my grandfather was on his last threads of life, he had my dad and his brother and sisters sing this song to him. My grandfather died to this song being sung to him. I wasn't incredibly close to him. But there isn't a day I don't miss him. He was a brilliant man, and had answers for everything. He was a pastor until the day he died. I own all of his sermons to this day. I know he is in heaven and he is watching me with my grandmother. I hope that when I go home to heaven I will see them.

  • who is singing, please

  • i sware i clicked on is it a good idea to microwave spray paint? lol wtf

  • Thank you Jesus.

  • 29 deff people

  • @Hirewithus1 I wouldn't call them deaf, clearly they are possessed with the devil! And it is not well with their souls. Let's pray for them.

  • i have been qoin thru a very hard time and i went into church with four certain sonqs stuck in my head. this was one of them. not only did the worship leader sinq it, but she sanq the other 3 sonqs and qod started speakinq to me for the FIRST time! he told me that the worship was for me and ME. tht service was for me. and wen the chorus said nail to the cross i bear it no more, it touched my heart and i cried. my mom said my soul touched jesus's sould. wat a blessinq. i have been chanqed

  • it is SO well with my soul. always. I know that I have eternal, undying love. God, it is so well with my soul. My heart pours out, praising you. Thank You.

  • Oh, it really " Is all well with my soul". I have been fighting 2 primary cancers (melanoma and lung ) and if it had not been for the LORD I don't know where I'd be. Praise the LORD oh my soul, for HE is good and His Mercy, Love and Kindness endures for ever, Glory to HIM

  • I dedicate that wonderful son to Emma, my boy of 2 that went ahead of me to be with the LORD in 2010. Oh Yes, It is all well, with my soul, to GOD all the glory.

  • To understand this song read: 2 Kings IV. 8-34.

    The woman was given a son via the word of the prophet. When the son died, she still refused to murmur that the prophet/God had lied to her. So she said "It is well with my soul". She then told the prophet, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

    His son was resurrected.

    When God promised us something, He never deceives us. So whatever happens, have faith & please God. " It is well with my soul " because God cannot lie!

  • @MrThepurplebandana : it can be funny to you but it can change your life. Accepting Jesus Christ as your saviour can cleanse all your sins you have committed till now and you will have your name in heaven to reach. There is no other way to reach heaven except Lord Jesus Christ. Bible is a Word of God through which God speaks.. i challenge your situation in your life, open the Bible you will be surprise to see the solution of your life... that comic book will become your serious book in life.

  • @picitup83 good.

  • I was miraculously converted by a touch from the Lord 35 years ago I was very worldly, believed all we could get from life was pleasure, money, drugs & whatever pleased self. How Jesus changed me, softened me, made me happy even when totally alone. I changed from a hard-hearted know it all to someone longing to be made even more humble, gentle, more like the wonderful Saviour. I urge you to study Bible prophecy for He is coming soon. 3abn.org site 'Proclaim' is spot on for accuracy & truth.

  • mt 7-21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity

  • I love singing this song in the choir, fills me with glee so ill praise you lord.

  • love love love love love love love love this song

  • How could you dislike this?

  • Terrific Song. God Bless Us All ! Happy Sabbath :))

    

  • Today is Easter Sunday -- April 24, 2011. HALLELUJAH !! He has risen indeed !! And so can we !! "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." --- John 3:16

  • Jesus lives!!!, John 14:6

  • It is well with my soul..As I know the meaning of this song. Such words, written after a father receives the word, that his 3 daughters have drowned in a boat capsizing and that only his wife survives. What a profound love...

  • @badge930

    Amen.

  • where can i get that picture from? the sun set one? its beautiful x

  • Thank you God!!

  • Lets pretend God isn't there and the bible is just an book.

    It never could do wrong for people who want to make it in life, it is an inspiring book. Even for atheists and non-believers, it gives you hope when reading it. So why make it in life on your own?

  • Thank you, my GOD!

    

  • Thank you my GOD for your love to me

  • i fall in love with our GOD everday ~

    GBU

  • Thank you Lord for being there for me and my Family .......... This is a good song expressing one's self .....

  • Really for all of us should I say.

  • I'm so thankful for what Jesus done for me.

  • Thanks for this posting. Beautiful arrangement & performance. Now that I know the story behind the song, it means a lot more to me.

  • Job. The patience of Job. IT IS WELL, reminds me of Job.TY.

  • I cannot wait to sing this before the throne with all of creation!!!

  • my church wont let me play this anymore when i lead worship, because i always cry. such power with this song!

  • @SusDgs Welcome to our family in Christ. Your statemet is a wonderful example of how no matter what a persons age, salvation is quite simply one decision away. It's not about rights outbalancing wrongs, for we are not saved nor condemned by our actions. We are saved through the grace of Jesus' forgiveness. That is why it is always important to give of yourself and forgive others. This early part of your new life will be the most difficult, but don't lose heart. May God bless you.

  • God has sinserly touched the hearts of all whom reaches out to accept his love.

    Whenever we go astray he is always there to catch us when we fall.

  • read the story behind this song its so sad!

    

  • I am forgiven, and it is well with my soul! If I should cease to exist here with you on this earth, IT IS WELL WITH MY GOD, AND MY SOUL, I am free, I am well, no more pain, sorrow, no more "trying" to be the perfect .mom, wife, granny........

  • @MelissaErasia

    That's awesome...

  • The guy who wrote this song lost his wife and children who were on a ship that had sunk. When he later went to the place where they died he felt overwhelming peace. Later on he wrote this song about that experience.

  • wife survived.

  • you can sing good ....ps keep up the work

  • this is certainly my favorite hymn!

  • Praise God!

  • it is so true in all that jesus himself who suffered more than we are today in this world has given us the strength to over come all these obstacles and trials.. thank you lord god for you only begotten son jesus christ for giving us the gift of life to appreciate all that is yours for it is your glory and honor to be praise AMEN..

  • I will soon turn 60 years old. I was saved just last Sunday. God began working in me a year ago, and I fought. I didn't want it. He finally broke down my walls, and I cannot express the joy, the love, that filled me!! This beautiful hymn sings just how I feel. I pray so much for everyone to find what I did, and praise God for the people who never stopped praying for me! Lovely hymn and I thank you for posting it.

  • @SusDgs Thank you for your comment, just reading your comment encouraged me and reminded me of how awesome God is, and how real he is in our lives. I felt the same thing when I was first saved about 10 years ago.... :) My worship leader told us last night that a writer of this song wrote this song when he found out his four children died after a ship crash and the only survivor was his wife. He was actually on his way to see his wife after he heard the tragic news

  • @SusDgs I'm 58 and this has been a favorite for my whole family since I was very young. My grandfather did not get saved until in his 70's. Yet this was a song that seemed to speak to him in a very real way also. I praise God for you and will remember you in my prayers.

  • @SusDgs nice to see His work on your life. I am now very sad and seem no way to go because hospital fee for my Daddy (60 years old). He have "Brain hemorrhage" and recover ability is very bad. This song encourage me so much. Please pray for my dad's soul. I believe that God will solve my burden if it is too heavy....

  • @SusDgs Amen! Thank you Jesus for his sweet mercy on us. May we all allow HIs perfect, precious will to be done in our lives. What a beautiful song! Brings tears to my eyes thinking how wonderful to have Jesus and be forgiven of all sins. That we can have a peace that passes all understanding. No matter what happens in our life we can have a peace and a hope. Lets share that with others. What a need for Jesus, for peace, for hope we have. Take care. Excited for you.

  • @SusDgs

    Praise the Lord! The Lord saved me in July/2010 at 39 years old. My husband prayed for me for over 19 years. Thank the Lord that He does not put an age limit on saving souls! THERE IS HOPE for ANYONE! This gives me so much hope for my 60 year-old mom and 67 year-old dad.

  • @SusDgs That is beautiful news to hear that you are now saved. Thankyou for posting this. It is very encouraging to hear this. I also had put up a wall and fought. Some of Gods people prayed for nearly 30 years for my salvation 12 years ago. No wall is too high or too strong for God to overcome. Great is our God!

  • @SusDgs Wow this is so beautiful i felt the spirit so intensly while reading this testimony. It is fair to say your whole life had lead up to that moment huh? Bless you and put your trust in God. 

  • @SusDgs Praise God, that He never gives up on us. Keep praying, reading God's Word, and trusting Him. He is the only Way, the Truth, and the Life, beside Him there is no other. And tell others about God's love, forgiveness, and the message that Jesus saves. God bless you.

  • @SusDgs I would love to hear your story! If you want to tell me in a message, or something. I am interested with salvation stories :)

  • @SusDgs All the way from East Africa this is to say a big God Bless you. You know God started with Moses at age 80 and with Abraham at about age 75, so i guess you are still young...God has great plans for you. I pray for you that you will finish strong and great and impact your generations. When we finally come to Glory, we shall see each other.

  • ANOTHER GREAT HYMM OF THE CHURCH

  • should have not changed the melody didn't work, some things can't be changed like the tune to this song. next time go with the original tempo and don't try to reinvent the wheel.
