Is It Well?

 

Is it well with my soul when life takes it's toll

And the answers I seek seem to flee?

When the words and the ways and the din of my days

Threaten to rush and overcome me...

When a smokescreen arises from the pit of Hell

And tries to blind me is it well, is it well?

 

It is well for I know that I know

His faithful Word will never let me go

It is well though I cannot see

He lives to guide and care for me!

 

Is it well when the day's so bad I cannot pray

And my heart is left broken and soiled?

Is it well when my doubts seem to be winning out

And fruits of my labor are spoiled?

When the differences  become hard to tell

Between  right and wrong-is it well, is it well?

 

It is well for I know that I know

His faithful Word will never let me go

It is well though I cannot see

He lives to guide and care for me!
