Shane & Shane's rendition of the classic hymn 'It Is Well' captures the profound peace that comes from trusting God amid life's trials. The song reflects on the assurance that, regardless of circumstances, the soul can rest in God's sovereignty and grace. It acknowledges the weight of sin but celebrates its removal through Christ's sacrifice on the cross. The lyrics also look forward to the believer's ultimate hope in Christ's return and eternal life. This worshipful version invites listeners to declare, along with the songwriter, that all is well with their soul because of God's steadfast love and faithfulness.

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, 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, it is well, with my soul
For me, be it Christ
Be it Christ hence to live
If Jordan above me shall roll
No pang shall be mine
For in death as in life
Thou will whisper Thy peace
To my soul
It is well, with my soul
And I will say through my soul
Bless the Lord, o my soul
Bless the Lord, o my soul
Bless the Lord, o my soul
Cause 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
