It Is Well with My Soul
2 Kings 4:26
“Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.”
🎵 “It is well with my soul.”
—Horatio Spafford, 1873
The Shunammite’s son was dead. Her whole world had collapsed. But when Gehazi asked if everything was okay, she brushed him off: “It is well.”
Why? Because she wasn’t going to settle for secondhand help. She needed to get to the one who actually knew the power of God. Her answer wasn’t fake faith, it was focused determination.
The hymn doesn’t pretend life is easy. It declares that no matter the storm, our soul is anchored. Not in a servant, not in a system, but in Christ Himself.
Worship leaders: this song isn’t sentimental. It’s war-tested. Lead it like you’re helping hurting people get past noise and straight to Jesus.
