Yoakam, Dwight - It Is Well With My Soul Lyrics






When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well - it is well, with my soul.

[Chorus:]
It is well - it is well, with my soul - with my soul
It is well - it is well, with my soul.

My sin O 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

[Chorus:]
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.

[Chorus:]
It is well - it is well, with my soul - with my soul
It is well - it is well, with my soul.

[Chorus:]
It is well - it is well, with my soul - with my soul
It is well - it is well, with my soul...

    Horatio G. Spafford was a successful lawyer and
    businessman in Chicago with a lovely family — a wife, Anna, and five
    children. However, they were not strangers to tears and tragedy. Their
    young son died with pneumonia in 1871, and in that same year, much of
    their business was lost in the great Chicago fire. Yet, God in His mercy
    and kindness allowed the business to flourish once more.




     
    On Nov. 21, 1873, the French ocean liner, Ville
    du Havre was crossing the Atlantic from the U.S. to Europe with 313
    passengers on board. Among the passengers were Mrs. Spafford and their
    four daughters. Although Mr. Spafford had planned to go with his family,
    he found it necessary to stay in Chicago to help solve an unexpected
    business problem. He told his wife he would join her and their children
    in Europe a few days later. His plan was to take another ship

    About four days into the crossing of the Atlantic, the Ville
    du Harve collided with a powerful, iron-hulled Scottish ship, the Loch
    Earn. Suddenly, all of those on board were in grave danger. Anna
    hurriedly brought her four children to the deck. She knelt there with
    Annie, Margaret Lee, Bessie and Tanetta and prayed that God would spare
    them if that could be His will, or to make them willing to endure
    whatever awaited them. Within approximately 12 minutes, the Ville du
    Harve slipped beneath the dark waters of the Atlantic, carrying with it
    226 of the passengers including the four Spafford children.

    A sailor, rowing a small boat over the spot where the ship
    went down, spotted a woman floating on a piece of the wreckage. It was
    Anna, still alive. He pulled her into the boat and they were picked up
    by another large vessel which, nine days later, landed them in Cardiff,
    Wales. From there she wired her husband a message which began, “Saved
    alone, what shall I do?” Mr. Spafford later framed the telegram and
    placed it in his office.









    Another of the ship’s survivors, Pastor Weiss, later
    recalled Anna saying, “God gave me four daughters. Now they have been
    taken from me. Someday I will understand why.”

    Mr. Spafford booked passage on the next available ship and
    left to join his grieving wife. With the ship about four days out, the
    captain called Spafford to his cabin and told him they were over the
    place where his children went down.

    According to Bertha Spafford Vester, a daughter born after
    the tragedy, Spafford wrote “It Is Well With My Soul” while on this
    journey.

    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.

    Chorus:

    It is well with my soul,

    It is well, it is well with my soul

    Anna gave birth to three more children, one of which died at
    age four with dreaded pneumonia. In August 1881, the Spaffords moved to
    Jerusalem. Mr. Spafford died and is buried in that city.

    And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding,
    shall keep your hearts, your minds through Christ Jesus. - Philippians
    4:7.

    I've been listening to and appreciating Dwight Y. for decades, since he started out, when his first releases were on LP records. I like all his songs, I love his artistry. But this song, his treatment of this song, is astonishing. Feeling down? Having some troubles over this or that? Whatever. Put this song on and listen to it until you get some perspective. You'll see things as they really are, and that trouble, fear, sorrow will vanish and you'll feel the joy that suffuses all life at all times, that is shooting through your soul.

    This song, your version, Dwight, means so much to me.  It helped get me through 6 weeks of radiation a few years ago, and I can never thank you enough for this.
