Yesterday in church, we sang one of my all time favorite hymns--"It is well with my soul". Ironically, this song has been running through my head for the last several weeks, and has been the "lullaby" for many of Davis' rockings. It is also one of the songs I have written down to possibly be at Caroline's memorail service, whenever that may be. I absolutely love the sweet words in the hymn, and the promises given from our Heavenly Father. The storm we are in is truly "well with my soul". I can not explain it any other way, other than the fact that my God is providing for us, and He has prepared us for whatever He has in store for us, our amazing little boys, and our precious little Caroline.
"When peace like a river, attendeth, my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, It is well with my soul.
It is well 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 has shed his own blood for my sake.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, It is well with 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.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, It is well with my soul.
And, Lord hast the day, when my faith shall be sight,
the clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
even so, it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul,
It is wel, It is well with my soul."
