Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
In Him, and by the power of His Spirit, we are given the ability to stand against enemies of the soul.
By the grace of God I’m glad I can say it is well with my soul.
It is Well With My Soul
_______________________
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 {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 hath 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!
And Lord, haste the day when our 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.
Horatio G. Spafford 1873
