Deniece Williams

When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whether I'm fast or whether I'm on delay

Though Satan may buffet
Though trials will come
This blessed assurance controls
Whether I'm up or whether I'm on the ground

It is well, it is well
It is well with my soul
God said, "No weapon formed against me ever shall prosper"
It is well with my soul

This glorious thought
My sins, not in part but the whole
Are nailed every one to the cross
And God said, He'd remember them no more

Lord hey somebody when faith shall decide
The clouds are gonna roll back and the trumpet's gonna sound
There'll be a big party 'cause we'll be home with thou
Yeah

It is well, it is well
I said it's well with my soul
God said that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
So it is well with my soul

It is well, it is well
I tell you it is well with my soul
God said that I can tell the mountain and I cried "Be thou removed"
So it is well with my soul

It is well, it's well
I'm not gonna move, it's well with my soul
My children are the head and never the tail
It is well with my soul

It is well, it is well
I tell you it is well with my soul
When weeping may endure the night but joy comes in the morning
It is well with my soul

It is well, it is well
You know it is well with my soul
God said no weapon formed against me ever shall prosper
It is well with my soul

Don't you be disturbed
You don't have to cry, no no no no no
'Cause God is there and everything's okay
Everything is well with my soul
It's well
It's well with my soul
