Make it well with my soul
Don't let me face this loneliness alone
Make it well with my soul
I need a peace that only heaven knows
Jesus could you please
Just sit and cry with me
'Till I can sing
'Till I can sing
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
Whatever my lot
You are still my God
It is well
It is well with my soul
Make it well with my soul
When the storm is raging please don't let me go
Oh voice that calms the sea
Keep whispering to me
So I can sing
So I can sing
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
Whatever my lot
You are still my God
It is well
It is well with my soul
Make it well with my soul
Oh
Make it well with my soul
Make it well with my soul
Make it well with my soul
Keep this heart from hardening like stone
Show me through the pain
There's reason still to praise
So I can sing
So I can sing
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
Whatever my lot
You are still my God, oh
Whatever my lot
You are still my God, oh
Whatever my lot
You are still my God
It is well
It is well with my soul
