It is well, with my soul
It is well, it is well, with my soul
It is well, with my soul
It is well, it is well, with my soul
(Mm)
I know there's momma's out there crying
On the edge thinking what's the use in trying
I know there's daddy's with aggression
Acting tough just to cover the depression
Someday's so sad man it really is a miracle that we can be glad
In the midst of the pain in the storm in the rain
I know God is the same
So it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
So it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
Oh what a testament, You put the rest in it
Numbered all my flaws but You still don't count the estimate
Every day I tried to fill my cup, I found less in it
Every way I tried to put on love was undressing it
Someday's are so sad man it really is a miracle that we can be glad
In the midst of the pain in the storm in the rain
I know God is the same
So it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
So it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
So it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
