Brian Doerksen - It Is Well songtekst

Je score:

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way;
When sorrows, like sea billows, roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

CHORUS:
It is well with my soul.
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let blessed assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood for my soul

(Chorus)

My sin, O 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.

(Chorus)

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.

(Chorus)

The Story Behind The Song

My first worship recording would not be complete 
without including one of the hymns that I turn to again 
and again for strength in the storms of life. Having my 
Dad sing it with me is my expression of 'honoring our 
in life and ministry and made a way for us.

I remember my dad leading the singing at our local 
Mennonite Brethren church every Sunday, back in the 
days when the term 'worship leader' was not yet in 
circulation. I also remember when my Dad invited me to 
come to the recording studio as they worked on one of 
the 10 records he recorded with the quartet he was in 
called "The Ambassador Singers."

"It Is Well" is one of the Church's most beloved hymns, 
and it's one the most meaningful to me, especially 
knowing the story behind it! It was written out of 
incredible faith in the face of loss as Horatio 
Spafford passed over the spot on the Atlantic Ocean 
where his four daughters had died in a shipwreck on 
Nov. 22, 1873.

In January of 2000, I sang it when my 15-year-old 
nephew, Matthew Peters, was taken from us, along with 2 
other teenagers in a tragic car accident. Since Sep 
11th, people have again turned to this hymn. I hope 
this version of 'It Is Well' is an encouragement of 
God's faithfulness in times of trouble for my parent's 
generation, and for my generation as well!
