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
Sticking those awful feelings in my mind
I won't let it get to me, no
I ain't walking 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 nothing gonna keep me down
So get 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
