It is well with my soul

I've rewritten this song in words that make complete sense to me. It's a hymn that is very dear to my heart; it is my favorite hymn of all time. It challenges me.


When I feel peace in my heart; when sorrows like a tsunami crash ... whatever it is, you've taught me to say, "it is well with my soul". Though Satan will thrash agaist me, though suffering will come my way, you've promised to consider my helpless condition. You shed your own blood for my soul. The greatest thing, most amazing thought is that my sin, in whole, is nailed to the cross! I can't bear it anymore! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, oh my soul! Lord, hurry the day where my faith will be sight, and the clouds be rolled back, and the music sound with joy, You are here! Because of this... it is well with my soul.
