That's a wonderful point. I'll have to spend some time thanking God for the pain brought to my life, knowing that the blessings that come from it can bless other people.
After hearing this hymn and knowing the tragedy behind it, I've learnt to say that it's well , as it's Lord alone who's glorified even in disasters and tragedies ( I've learnt to say this after witnessing my favorite team losing match after match. I know it's nothing compared to tragedies, but it's just that i wanted to say this)
The Christian music industry needs needs to take a lesson from these productions. We need our pastors in our music. Rich, amazing, sound, and beautiful. PRAISE God.
When peace like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to knowa It is well, it is well, with my soul. Refrain It is well, (it is well), With my soul, (with my soul) It is well, it is well, with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for 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! 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 wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul. But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, The sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord! Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul. And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, A song in the night, oh my soul!b
A Hymn saturated by the Gospel of Jesus, inspired by tragedy and faith in the goodness of our wonderful Lord! So rich in truth, and the beauty of God's Word.
A great song...remember playing this at a small church in Watsonville on trumpet with Debbie B playing piano...after the 7.9 earthquake that hit the northern CA area and knocked down the Oakland bridge. Praise God who sustains His peoplle through natural tragedies....like earthquakes, huricanes, tsunamis, etc.
The story of the man who wrote the song is such an incredible one. The man lost everything in the Chicago Fire and this man could still find grace for his pain. God bless all listening and all be well with your soul.
This is my ABSOLUTE favorite rendition of this song. I have been looking for it for quite some time. I mean like scouring & it just wouldn't pop up. I even got him singing it q different places or w/o John Piper speaking. & today... I found myself hurting over that "1 more "last" thing u can take," & it popped right up 🥹🥲when I needed to hear it the most🥲🥹 It's the littlest things the Abba does for us. ❤
My brother and his wife lost their first child, she was stillborn. Nancy has a dream the baby would not survive the pregnancy. She knew the dream was from God. They named the baby "Grace" after the grace of God that had sustained them. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME! This song and Piper's words remind me. We see only in a clouded mirror. But His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. It is the essence of faith, to trust in this.
Thank you!!!!!! Thank you, Thank you for sharing the story of this song Years ago… I heard a Pastor tell this story and forgot all about it but now I will never forget and I will share with others and I will sing this song as well. The young man singing has a wonderful gift. Keep going and GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!
Wow! What a a beautiful rendition of this great song. And what a blessing you are Jimmy (and your band mates) to a world that is in desperate need of you right now. May God bless you!
Though He slay me yet will I Worship Him! How, how can I say this??? Because my God, Who supplies ALL my needs, according to His RICHES and GLORY in/by/through Yeshua Hamashiach Tsidkenu. (Jesus Christ my Righteousness)
It is my wish that you record a CD ... you have the voice of an Angel and a talent that only God could have touch you with!!! I'm completely taken by you 3 beautiful men!!!!!!
If you haven't already, look up Clear the Stage by Jimmy Needham, it is the most powerful song I have heard in a long time!! I listened to it 20 times, and I was in tears by the end of it, every single time!
I love this!!!! These songs/hymns are so beautiful!!!! ♡ we should sing them loudly and never forget the simplicity and overwhelming power they have!!!! ♡ I love the stories behind the song!!!!!
I think that it is grossly unfair to tell only half the story on the creation of this moving and inspiring song. Good to know that Horatio Spafford wrote the lyrics after the sad tragedy of loosing his four daughters, but many people neglect to also post the other tragedy that enshrouds the genesis of this song (not a hymn!): Philip Bliss. He composed the immortal, powerful tune to the poem by Spafford in 1874. Sad that nobody mentions him! Two years after writing his music, he also suffered a tragedy that cost him his life along with his beloved wife. On 29 December 1876, a train in which Bliss and his wife were traveling to Ashtabula, Ohio was in the process of crossing a bridge that collapsed. All the carriages fell into the ravine below. Bliss escaped from the wreck, but the carriages caught fire and Bliss returned to try to extricate his drowning wife. Sadly he also perished during his failed attempt.
E. Diaz del Campo Well who can't neglect the added tragedy to the story of why the song was written. All get misery in the end sheesh. We all got to hear this wonderful song and why it was written. It is well with my soul.
I struggle in my trials with confessing "it is well with my soul" or Ruth 1:20 ... “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me." How can I know which it is?
Horacio Spafford went through a lot no doubt and wrote an amazing song but the truth is that he did not finish well. He denied hell completely and considered the local church as Babylon. He then started a cult and became obsessed with end times. He was an early Harold Camping, false predictions when Christ would come. Then he came down with measles and on his death bed he considered himself the messiah. Sad story, don’t think he was saved.
+jeremiah pascual If you are referring to the poem writer Horatio Spafford and/or the composer of the tune Philip Bliss, both Methodists, the answer could be NO. The Methodist denomination is more Arminian than Calvinist although George Whitefield, who worked with the Wesley brothers shoulder to shoulder (founders of Methodism) was a declared Calvinist. Most important, however, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyerians, etc. are one family under the atoning sacrifice and grace of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
No. Horatio Spafford was a heretic on his deathbed. You can read more about it here -> www.cprf.co.uk/articles/spafford.html#.W0deYtIzaMo Regardless, it doesn't mean that the song can't be used for good use when you have the right theological presuppositions and framework in mind.

America will soon be destroyed !!! The Lord Jesus Christ stated: John 13:20. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. Therefore, if a man wants to receive Jesus, the man MUST receive the “Messenger” who Jesus sends, in this day the Lord has kept His word, and has sent His prophet. The, “Elijah anointing,” (Concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ) is used “TWICE.” The first time 2,000 years ago, when God sent John the Baptist, then again in this day. At each, “Coming of the Lord,” there is an Elijah prophet who precedes that, “Coming.” Jesus said concerning John the Baptist. Matthew 3:3. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Elijah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. John, “Prepared the way for the Lord,” John did NOT “Restore anything,” as that which would need to be restored, (The full understanding of the whole Bible,) had not yet been given. This scripture concerns the Elijah prophet for, “THIS DAY.” Matthew 17:11. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall FIRST COME, and RESTORE all things. God has fulfilled the above scripture in THIS DAY. This scripture also predicts the Elijah prophet for “This day”..... Malachi 4:5. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. This Elijah prophet comes just before, “The coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord,” which happens in this day. We are now living in the last days, God has kept His word and sent that prophet, thereby “Restoring” His word to His Bride. One Sunday morning in June, 1933, God gave seven major continuous visions to His prophet William Marrion Branham (Fulfilling Malachi 4:5 + Matthew 17:11 + Revelation 10:7 and other scriptures) Five of the seven continuous visions, have already come to pass. THE SEVENTH VISION. “The last and seventh vision was wherein I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America.” God has raised the dead on FIVE occasions through His chosen vessel. God was photographed SIX times, (Veiled in the form of the Pillar of Fire) with His prophet. God`s chosen vessel was William Marrion Branham. Check out William Branham, God`s “Vindicated Prophet” for the End Time. These and other “Prophetical scriptures” fulfilled: Malachi 4:5. Matthew 17:11. Revelation 10:7. Revelation 3:14.

Man, I was just waiting to see John Piper on that drum kit. Haha.
HAHAHAHA
John Piper playing blast beats and a double kick. Now try erasing that image out of your head.
Haaa me too
Haa me to
Count me in.
But seriously, it's a good song though
My husband of 25 years passed away suddenly 4 months ago. This song is a beautiful testament to God's grace.
Rest in His grace sister.
kevin cade may God fill you with his love and compassion
God bless you
YOU ARE LOVED AND WANTED AND ARE NOT ALONE. KEEP REACHING OUT.
Sorry for your loss, praying for you.
I was waiting to hear John Piper... instead I heard Jesus. Thank you, Lord... thank you. It is well with my soul.
Paradoxically, we thank God for the tragedy in Horatio Spafford's life, from which was born this majestic hymn.
amen
That's a wonderful point. I'll have to spend some time thanking God for the pain brought to my life, knowing that the blessings that come from it can bless other people.

well this seems like something
M. Leanne Todd not only that, but anointing to touch peoples hearts.
A lot of Christian songs have this. It’s mostly gospel and not contemporary music or hymns.
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to knowa
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for 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!
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,

Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
