It Is Well With My Soul
Embracing Peace Amid Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
Oh, my life is filled with white-hot anxiety,
Expressing intense anxiety in life.
Though I think I wear it very well,
Despite the anxiety, presenting a composed exterior.
I still worry bout' what people might think of me
Concerned about others' opinions beyond the surface.
If they ever saw me past my outer shell.
Fearful of judgment if inner self is revealed.
Believe me, I know how to worry.
Acknowledging expertise in worrying.
I've chewed my fingernails to the bone.
Physical manifestation of anxiety, evident in bitten nails.
Oh, I've got my share of problems
Admitting to personal challenges.
Still it is well with my soul
Despite problems, finding peace in the soul.
Sometimes I wrestle with my conscience
Engaging in inner moral conflict.
Still it is well with my soul
Finding peace despite internal struggles.
Lord, I think about all that you've
Reflecting on God's actions in one's life.
Done for me.
Contemplating divine blessings frequently.
Lord, I think about it all the time.
Continuously thinking about divine favors.
But sometimes a ghost from the past starts
Resurfacing memories causing emotional disturbance.
Really haunting me,
Past experiences causing distress.
Stickin' those awful feelings in my mind.
Unwanted feelings from the past resurface.
I won't let it get to me, no.
Determined not to succumb to negativity.
I ain't walkin' down that old, dark road.
Avoiding a return to a negative path.
Oh, I've got my share of problems
Despite problems, finding peace in the soul.
Still it is well with my soul
Peaceful acceptance of challenges.
Don't always know just how to solve them
Uncertainty in problem-solving, yet inner peace remains.
Still it is well with my soul
Finding peace despite the unknown solution.
Since I've been given true forgiveness
Having received genuine forgiveness.
And it is well with my soul
Peaceful state due to true forgiveness.
I'll be about my father's business
Dedicating oneself to divine purpose.
And it is well with my soul
Peaceful alignment with life's purpose.
In my soul
Inner tranquility and alignment.
I can see clearly
Clarity of vision within the soul.
In my soul
Perceiving truth despite surrounding darkness.
Through the darkness surrounding me
Overcoming challenges and seeing clearly.
Once you've tasted and seen
Experiencing and understanding divine truths.
Then you'll know what I mean
Encouraging others to grasp spiritual insights.
There ain't nothin' gonna keep me down,
Confident resilience, nothing can defeat.
So...get up...
Encouragement to rise above challenges.
Oh, I've got my share of problems
Despite problems, finding peace in the soul.
Still it is well with my soul
Peaceful acceptance of challenges.
Don't always know just how to solve them
Uncertainty in problem-solving, yet inner peace remains.
Still it is well with my soul
Finding peace despite the unknown solution.
Sometimes I wrestle with my conscience
Engaging in inner moral conflict.
Still it is well with my soul
Finding peace despite internal struggles.
Still I know that I've got true forgiveness
Reflecting on true forgiveness received.
And it is well with my soul
Peaceful state due to genuine forgiveness.
