It Is Well With My Soul

Oh, my life is filled with white-hot anxiety
Though I think I wear it very well
I still worry 'bout what people might think of me
If they ever saw me past my outer shell
Believe me, I know how to worry
I've chewed my fingernails to the bone

Oh, I've got my share of problems
Still it is well with my soul
Sometimes I wrestle with my conscience
Still it is well with my soul

Lord, I think about all that you've done for me
Lord, I think about it all the time
But sometimes a ghost from the past starts really haunting me
Stickin' those awful feelings in my mind
Believe me, I won't let it get to me, no
I ain't walkin' down that old, dark road

Oh, I've got my share of problems
Still it is well with my soul
Don't always know just how to solve them
Still it is well with my soul
Since I've been given true forgiveness
And it is well with my soul
I'll be about my father's business
And it is well with my soul

In my soul
I can see clearly
In my soul
Through the darkness surrounding me
Once you've tasted and seen
Then you'll know what I mean
There ain't nothin' gonna keep me down
Come on people

Get on up
Get on up
Get on up
Get on up
Get on up
Get on up
Get on up

Oh, I've got my share of problems
Still it is well with my soul
Don't always know just how to solve them
Still it is well with my soul
Sometimes I wrestle with my conscience
Still it is well with my soul
Still I know that I've got true forgiveness
And it is well with my soul

Oh, I've got my share of problems
Still it is well with my soul
But I know, but I know Lord, because of You're gonna help me solve them
And it is well with my soul
Since I've been given true forgiveness
And it is well with my soul
I'll be about my father's business
And it is well with my soul
