  • God has given us a merciful gift in music authored in the midst of great tragedy. A song often has the power to express and comfort pain when words alone feel empty. Again and again, “It Is Well” has met and carried saints through the worst kinds of suffering, reminding us of the deep, abiding, sovereign Well at the bottom of our joy and life.
    Desiring God recorded Jimmy Needham singing “It Is Well.” At the three-minute mark of the song, John Piper tells the moving story behind the hymn. Horatio Spafford lost his four daughters in a tragic accident at sea. And in those horrifying moments, God amazingly put these lyrics on his lips.

      After hearing this hymn and knowing the tragedy behind it, I've learnt to say that it's well , as it's Lord alone who's glorified even in disasters and tragedies ( I've learnt to say this after witnessing my favorite team losing match after match. I know it's nothing compared to tragedies, but it's just that i wanted to say this)

    When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
    When sorrows like sea billows roll;
    Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to knowa
    It is well, it is well, with my soul.
    Refrain
    It is well, (it is well),
    With my soul, (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well, with my soul.
    Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
    Let this blest assurance control,
    That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
    And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
    My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
    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!
    For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
    If Jordan above me shall roll,
    No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
    Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
    But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
    The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
    Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
    Blessed hope, blessed rest of 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,
    A song in the night, oh my soul!b

    A great song...remember playing this at a small church in Watsonville on trumpet with Debbie B playing piano...after the 7.9 earthquake that hit the northern CA area and knocked down the Oakland bridge. Praise God who sustains His peoplle through natural tragedies....like earthquakes, huricanes, tsunamis, etc.

    My brother and his wife lost their first child, she was stillborn. Nancy has a dream the baby would not survive the pregnancy. She knew the dream was from God. They named the baby "Grace" after the grace of God that had sustained them. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME! This song and Piper's words remind me. We see only in a clouded mirror. But His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. It is the essence of faith, to trust in this.

    I think that it is grossly unfair to tell only half the story on the creation of this moving and inspiring song. Good to know that Horatio Spafford wrote the lyrics after the sad tragedy of loosing his four daughters, but many people neglect to also post the other tragedy that enshrouds the genesis of this song (not a hymn!): Philip Bliss. He composed the immortal, powerful tune to the poem by Spafford in 1874. Sad that nobody mentions him! Two years after writing his music, he also suffered a tragedy that cost him his life along with his beloved wife. On 29 December 1876, a train in which Bliss and his wife were traveling to Ashtabula, Ohio was in the process of crossing a bridge that collapsed. All the carriages fell into the ravine below. Bliss escaped from the wreck, but the carriages caught fire and Bliss returned to try to extricate his drowning wife. Sadly he also perished during his failed attempt.

    @mattfryar5171 5 лет назад

    Horacio Spafford went through a lot no doubt and wrote an amazing song but the truth is that he did not finish well. He denied hell completely and considered the local church as Babylon. He then started a cult and became obsessed with end times. He was an early Harold Camping, false predictions when Christ would come. Then he came down with measles and on his death bed he considered himself the messiah. Sad story, don’t think he was saved.

      +jeremiah pascual If you are referring to the poem writer Horatio Spafford and/or the composer of the tune Philip Bliss, both Methodists, the answer could be NO. The Methodist denomination is more Arminian than Calvinist although George Whitefield, who worked with the Wesley brothers shoulder to shoulder (founders of Methodism) was a declared Calvinist. Most important, however, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyerians, etc. are one family under the atoning sacrifice and grace of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

      No. Horatio Spafford was a heretic on his deathbed. You can read more about it here -> www.cprf.co.uk/articles/spafford.html#.W0deYtIzaMo
      Regardless, it doesn't mean that the song can't be used for good use when you have the right theological presuppositions and framework in mind.

    The Lord Jesus Christ stated:
    John 13:20.
    Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
    Therefore, if a man wants to receive Jesus, the man MUST receive the “Messenger” who Jesus sends, in this day the Lord has kept His word, and has sent His prophet.
    The, “Elijah anointing,” (Concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ) is used “TWICE.”
    The first time 2,000 years ago, when God sent John the Baptist, then again in this day.
    At each, “Coming of the Lord,” there is an Elijah prophet who precedes that, “Coming.”
    Jesus said concerning John the Baptist.
    Matthew 3:3.
    For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Elijah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
    John, “Prepared the way for the Lord,” John did NOT “Restore anything,” as that which would need to be restored, (The full understanding of the whole Bible,) had not yet been given.
    This scripture concerns the Elijah prophet for, “THIS DAY.”
    Matthew 17:11.
    And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall FIRST COME, and RESTORE all things.
    God has fulfilled the above scripture in THIS DAY.
    This scripture also predicts the Elijah prophet for “This day”.....
    Malachi 4:5.
    Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
    This Elijah prophet comes just before, “The coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord,” which happens in this day.
    We are now living in the last days, God has kept His word and sent that prophet, thereby “Restoring” His word to His Bride.
    One Sunday morning in June, 1933, God gave seven major continuous visions to His prophet William Marrion Branham (Fulfilling Malachi 4:5 + Matthew 17:11 + Revelation 10:7 and other scriptures)
    Five of the seven continuous visions, have already come to pass.
    THE SEVENTH VISION.
    “The last and seventh vision was wherein I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America.”
    God has raised the dead on FIVE occasions through His chosen vessel.
    God was photographed SIX times, (Veiled in the form of the Pillar of Fire) with His prophet.
    God`s chosen vessel was William Marrion Branham.
