Benny Snow - It Is Well With My Soul (Contrafactum De Benny)

LYRICS [Intro] When peace like a river comes over my soul, Or sorrow rolls in like the waves, I know there is One who is holding me close, And His love will remain through the pain. [Verse 1] Some days the sunlight breaks through the clouds, Some days I can barely stand. I’ve carried the weight of a world falling down, With questions I don’t understand. But faith is not built on the absence of storms, Or the promise that tears will not fall. It’s knowing my Savior is faithful and true, And His grace is enough through it all. [Pre-Chorus] When the night is long, And my strength is gone, I will lift my eyes To the One who holds my life. [Chorus] It is well, it is well with my soul! Though the thunder may shake me, Your love makes me whole. It is well, it is well with my soul! I will trust in the Savior Who will never let go. Through the fire, through the flood, I am covered by Your blood. It is well, it is well with my soul! [Verse 2] My sin was a burden I could never repay, A debt that was greater than me. But Jesus took all of my shame to the cross, And His mercy has set me free. The record of wrongs that was written against me Was nailed to the tree where He died. Now I stand in the grace of a risen Redeemer, With nothing from Him left to hide. [Pre-Chorus] When the enemy speaks, And my heart feels weak, I will answer with praise, For my Savior has made a way. [Chorus] It is well, it is well with my soul! Though the thunder may shake me, Your love makes me whole. It is well, it is well with my soul! I will trust in the Savior Who will never let go. Through the fire, through the flood, I am covered by Your blood. It is well, it is well with my soul! [Bridge] Lead: When the waves are rising! Choir: It is well! Lead: When the night is falling! Choir: It is well! Lead: When my strength is failing! Choir: It is well! All: My hope is in Jesus, Emmanuel! [Breakdown] MY SIN— NAILED TO THE CROSS! MY SHAME— PAID FOR BY BLOOD! THE GRAVE IS EMPTY! THE KING IS ALIVE! NO STORM CAN STEAL THE HOPE I HAVE IN CHRIST! [Bridge 2] And Lord, haste the day when my faith becomes sight, When the clouds are rolled back like a scroll. The trumpet will sound, and my Savior will come, And forever it shall be well with my soul. [Final Chorus] It is well, it is well with my soul! Though the thunder may shake me, Your love makes me whole. It is well, it is well with my soul! I will trust in the Savior Who will never let go. Through the fire, through the flood, I am covered by Your blood. It is well, it is well with my soul! [Outro] Whatever my lot, You have taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. My hope is in Christ, and my future is Yours, It is well with my soul.
