It is Well with My Soul by Audrey Assad
ASL Acapella by Stacy Parks

Transcript:
The writer, Horatio Spafford, was a prominent Chicago lawyer, whose business was thriving. He owned several properties throughout the city. He and his beloved wife had four daughters and one son.

Just as Horatio hit the pinnacle of his profession and financial success, things began to change. It began with the tragic loss of their 4 year old son to scarlet fever. Not long thereafter, the Great Chicago Fire destroyed nearly every real estate investment Horatio owned.
Just a few years later in 1873, Horatio decided to treat his wife and daughters to a much-needed vacation. He sent them on a boat trip to England, with plans to join them shortly after wrapping up some business in Chicago. Just a few days later, he received a dreadful telegram from his wife, “Saved alone…” It bore the excruciating news that family’s ship had wrecked and all four of his daughters had perished.
Horatio was on his way to meet his heartbroken wife, passing over the same sea that had just claimed the lives of his remaining children. It was then that he put his pen to paper and the timeless hymn was born, beginning with the words:

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.
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, 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, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

When we are dealing with an unimaginable loss, the greatest source of comfort for us, as Christians, comes from God. We trust in His plans for our lives because we know He loves us and loved us first. Through that trust, we experience peace within our hearts and minds that is beyond human understanding.

"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phillippians 4:7
