Oh, my life is filled with white-hot anxiety,

Though I think I wear it very well,

I still worry bout' what people might think of me

if they ever saw me past my outer shell.

Believe me, I know how to worry.

I've chewed my fingernails to the bone.

Oh, I've got my share of problems

Still it is well with my soul

Sometimes I wrestle with my conscience

Still it is well with my soul

Lord, I think about all that you've

done for me.

Lord, I think about it all the time.

But sometimes a ghost from the past starts

really haunting me,

stickin' those awful feelings in my mind.

I won't let it get to me, no.

I ain't walkin' down that old, dark road.

Oh, I've got my share of problems

Still it is well with my soul

Don't always know just how to solve them

Still it is well with my soul

Since I've been given true forgiveness

And it is well with my soul

I'll be about my father's business

And it is well with my soul

In my soul

I can see clearly

In my soul

Through the darkness surrounding me

Once you've tasted and seen

Then you'll know what I mean

There ain't nothin' gonna keep me down,

so...get up...

Oh, I've got my share of problems

Still it is well with my soul

Don't always know just how to solve them

Still it is well with my soul

Sometimes I wrestle with my conscience

Still it is well with my soul

Still I know that I've got true forgiveness

And it is well with my soul
