Its a very difficult time right now, but it is well with my soul. I give God all the praise for just another day he has sustained me. The road looks dark ahead, but God knows what is around the bend and I trust Him to guide me with His eye. It is well.
This song brings memories....we'd listening to the entire album this song was on in dad's car as we'd journey on the road. He's gone to be with the Lord now but the truth remains: It is well!
Take 6 is amazing and am a huge fan of both Acappella and take 6 but they are two very different groups in terms of style and their approach. Comparing these two groups is like comparing two genres. Yes they both glorify God but they just do it in very different ways. To say Acappella is better than take 6 is not a fair assessment or perhaps sorry to say but an uninformed assessment
I hope I get to stand next to these guys in heaven when we're praising around the throne. They've ushered me into a worshipful place since the 90s. Thank You, Lord, for giving them the gift of song.
He states my sin is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more. Thanks to Jesus Christ, it is a true statement. Love this song. Brings tears to my eyes.🙏😃.
Thanks be to God - He IS our Salvation!!! thank you 'Yeison" - Very Beautiful singing ` "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures: And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures" 1 Cor.15:1- 4
Whatever my lot, yet I know that it is well with my soul. No matter how boisterious the journey might be, but there is still a still small voice shispering PEACE TO MY SOUL...!
Recently I shared with a New York City priest and author of 30 books, Father George Rutler something I'd shared with Facebook friends, about “my favorite hymn” -- ABIDE WITH ME which “I only ever get to hear played by military bands at Remembrance Day ceremonies, November 11th." And that "usually it's just an instrumental version -- with melody played by a brass band." Seldom do I get to hear even one stanza of the lyric sung by a choir. The first stanza will forever 'abide' in my memory for as long as the Lord permits: "Abide with me . . . fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens, Lord with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee . . . Help of the helpless, oh abide with me!" Father George replied that he wrote about the history of that particular hymn, in his 1998 Ignatius Press book “BRIGHTEST AND BEST Stories of Hymns.” Father warned “it may be out of print,” and sure enough it is. I found a "nearly new" copy from a private seller on Amazon. I've been opening it at random and my eyes just fell on page 173 -- JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN TODAY. This page opens with Father's words that just like Christmas carols . . . “ . . . there are Easter carols, for a carol is a hymn on a joyful occasion, and Easter is the most joyful day of all . . . and a carol is defined precisely as a vibrant song with popular appeal, lending itself to dancing . . . Father George concluded that “this hymn is representative of an important expansion of English congregational singing - a kind of singing which King Henry VIII considered too protestant.” [By the 1700s] “There was provision for four-voice harmony and instrumentation - quite unlike the Church of Scotland which was bare-bones and only reluctantly admitted a pitch pipe . . . “ Which brings me to something I posted to another friend this day - concerning a capella singing of hymns -- at a 'celestial level' of quality that might have given congregations of previous centuries “goose bumps.” (The black ones certainly.) "See what this does for you," I said -- then shared this: From my favorite album of unaccompanied 'a cappella' voices by a Tennessee choir of men and women - this is far and away my favorite rendition of an 1873 hymn, "It is Well with My Soul." Alas it wasn't among the hymns in Father's book, BRIGHTEST AND BEST (not enough available history?). I believe my priest friend will enjoy this too, especially performed 'live' -- always the best setting for musically-induced goose pimples, right? Mark B of the frozen North (Winnipeg Manitoba Canada where this New Year's Eve it's down where the two temperature scales meet -- at 40 below F and, minus 40 C ("be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade," as Peggy Lee sang Fever-ish-ly).
