_ [C] Whatever _ my [F] lot, Thou [D] hast taught me to say
[C] It is well, [E] it is well with [C] my soul _ _ _
It is well _ _ [G] _ _
with [C] my [D] soul
_ _ [C] _
It [F] is well, it [G] is well [C] with my soul
My _ _ _ sin, O [D] the bliss of [C] this _ [G] _ glorious love
[Am] My _ sin, [D] I am but [G] the hope
He _ _ _
_ [C] is nailed to [G] the cross, and [D] I [F#] bear it [D] no more
[G] Praise the [C] Lord, praise [F] the Lord

_ In 1871, [G] the Great Chicago Fire [F] virtually ruined [G] Horatio Spafford.
[C] It was almost the biggest trial of his life, but [Am] not the biggest.
Two years later, 1873, he [D] puts his wife and his four daughters on [D] a ship [G] to sail for England,
and the ship runs into another ship and sinks very quickly,
and all [C] four girls die, and his wife [F] barely escapes.
He hears about the accident, [D] and he receives a telegram from his wife, [G] saved, alone. _
[C] He gets on a ship and heads to be with his grieving wife,
and as he passes over the [G] part of the ocean [F] where the girls went down and were at the bottom,
he wrote, [G] When peace like a river attendeth my way
[F] Or sorrows like sea billows roll
[A] And you can hear the point, when sorrows like sea [F] billows roll, whatever my lot,
You have taught me to [Em] say, It is well, it is well with my soul
[F] So the question is, how could it be well?
[G] He goes on in the song, and [C] he talks about,
Let this blessed assurance control [G] that God has regarded my helpless estate
And [F] Christ has shed his own blood [G] for my soul
He knew [C] Christ loved him.
He saw it in the cross.
And when [Am] he gets to the end, he [Em] has Christ coming back [D] with a great triumph,
not to judge him, but to save him and to raise his daughters [G] from the dead.
So, It is well with [C] my soul.
No song quite gets it in terms of its cadence and its tune, and especially its [D] words.
It doesn't [Em] get any better than sorrowful, [G] yet always rejoicing through,
It is well, it is well [D] with my soul.
[C] _ _ _
[Cm] Oh, _ haste [D] the day
When [F] my [G] faith shall [C] be sight
[C]
The [Am] _ clouds be rolled back
As [G] the scroll _ _ _ _ _
[C] Each round shall [D] resound
And the [F#] Lord shall [G] descend
Even [C] so, it [F] is well [G]
with [C] my _ soul _ _
It [F] is well with [G] _ _ _
[C] my soul _ _ _ _
It [F] is well, it [G] is well with [F] my soul
_ _ [G] _ _
With [F] my soul
_ _ [G] _ _
With [F] my soul
_ [G] _ _
With [F] my soul
_ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _
[A] It is [G] well, [G] it is well with my [F] soul
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
