Psalm 146:1-2 Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.
[2] While I live will I praise the Lord : I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
Born again believers have a blessed peace that comes with knowing it is well with their souls.
Praise the Lord.
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 soil), — 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 tho’t; — 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 the 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.
Horacio G. Spafford 1873
