It is Well With My Soul

[The Irish Ram]

This was written by a man that lost 6 children. A 2 year old son in the Chicago fire and then his daughters drowned when the ship they were on sank. He wrote the song in the spot in the ocean where the ship went down. If he can reconcile his soul, what is stopping us?

Spafford did not write Ville du Havre "the song in the spot in the ocean where the ship went down." No need for people to use truthful hyperbole in a situation like this. It's distasteful

snippet: "Their Presbyterian church regarded their tragedy as divine punishment. In response, the Spaffords formed their own Messianic sect, dubbed "the Overcomers" by American press." - wikipedia entry

whenever our choir in our church sings It is well with My Soul,

it gives me goose bumps and I cry.... no matter what... my eyes tear up every time...

The church would have been better served reading Job a few more times.
