Story Behind the Original Version of This Hymn. I was informed of this story in the comments of this video by http://www.youtube.com/user/m4ttieE

Horacio Spafford was a man familiar with death and tragedy. The Spafford's were grieving over the death of their first son to Scarlett Fever when the great Chicago fire decimated the city. Horacio, a successful lawyer and real estate investor, lost everything.

After the fire, Horacio and his wife, Anna, were attempting to pick up the pieces when a good friend, the great Evangelist preacher, D.L. Moody, encouraged him to take a much needed vacation. Moody was doing a preaching stint in England and invited the Spafford family to join him there.

Horacio had some business to attend to so he decided to send his wife and daughters ahead, planning to meet up with them shortly. In route, the Spafford's ship collided with an iron sailing vessel, and all four daughters drowned. Anna was one of only a handful of survivors.

Horacio immediately departed for England to join his devastated wife. When the ship's captain told him that they were passing over the scene of the accident, he retired to his cabin. Overcome with sorrow, he wrote, "When sorrows like sea billows roll, whatever my lot, thou has taught me to say 'It is well with my soul'."

These words were eventually set to music and became the great hymn of the same name -- "It is Well with My Soul".

However, the story did not stop there. A few years later, Horacio and Anna had two more children -- a son and a daughter -- but this son also contracted Scarlett Fever and died at just four years old.

Horacio's life was marked by persistent tragedy and death. In the course of his life, he lost business and real estate and saw the death of six of his eight children. However, he did not surrender himself to anger, sorrow and despair. Though he wrestled with these things to be sure, instead he defiantly declared his hope and trust in his sovereign Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Echoing the words of Paul, he learned to be content in any situation, even death and loss. Ultimately, the Spafford's turned their grief into mercy ministry, founding a small community of believers in Jerusalem working to aid the poor and needy in the early days of World War I.

Horacio's great song challenges us to fight for joy in the midst of tragedy and death -- to defiantly declare that in Jesus, whatever my lot, thou has taught me to say, "It is well. It is well with my soul."

ESTA PRECIOSA ESTA ALABANZA

[DanielsSelf]

@picodevane for those people who don't speak Spanish it means "THIS IS BEAUTIFUL PRAISE"

[m4ttieE]

There's a tragic story behind this song. But it's also really inspiring. I'd encourage you to check out=]

[DanielsSelf]

@m4ttieE never knew that, could you let me know where I could find the story? :)

[SquirrelOnIce]

The story is indeed sad. But we shouldn't forget that this song is not a song of lamentation, but a declaration of hope and peace. I will not claim to understand the pain Horatio must have felt, and God forbid that I down-play it's magnitude. But He is bigger; He is greater; and His love is deeper. Is now, has been, and forever will be.

[BmSakiki]

yes the events that led to the writing of this song is beyond sad but also inspiring to say the least.

[SquirrelOnIce]

@twinkl80 That is true. But that is a debate I don't find substantial. Read 1 Timothy 1:9-10. I believe the bible is unambiguous about its position on homosexuality, so the Christians who say homosexuality is okay either have to explain how that fits with the bible, or concede that the bible is fallible.

[twinkl80]

@SquirrelOnIce

Sóme christians are against homosexuality.. not everyone 

[SquirrelOnIce]

@SuperStitchesTim Actually, no, i'm not joking. Could you do more than post cynical one-liners? It doesn't quite help establish much of a debate or argument, which seems to be what you're keen on starting.

[SuperStitchesTim]

@SquirrelOnIce You're kidding me right? Please tell me you're joking...

[SquirrelOnIce]

@SuperStitchesTim I'm not sure if you meant that cynically, but either ways your statement is wrong. Christianity is against homosexuality, not against homosexuals. Sin deserves punishment, but sinners have been granted redemption. We are all sinners, so who are we to condemn anyone?

[SuperStitchesTim]

@SquirrelOnIce Except towards the gays.

@jethro8875 Hillsong does not have concerts. They do, however, have album recordings that are free events available to anyone. Why should it matter that people are willing to pay for a song that still holds the same message and deep meaning beneath the lyrics? It even says in the description that the proceeds go towards the QLD flood relief appeal. As a worship leader, you should be excited that classics are being continued in a fresher form.

[Ferocinator]

All is well as long as we're entrusted in the Christ's hands.

[jethro8875]

I have been a worship leader for many years now. It bugs me to the core, and it should bug you too if you proclaim to love God, that Hillsong piggy backs off original Christian classics only to "polish" them up so YOU can go to your local Christian bookstore and buy that album for 15 or 20 dollars. They have no right in the name Jesus to go and rewrite another mans words simply for one thing. So that you buy their records and go to their concerts.
