IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and ask God for help.  I Timothy 5:5.  This "widow" is my niece by marriage. She has been my family soul mate for many decades. She walks with God. During the night on Wednesday of this week her youngest daughter, mother of four took her own life.  I ask that you pray for these chiildren who have akready been split in two by their parent's divorce, and for this faithful woman of God as she bears her own grief and comforts her remaining family. She has given them all His Word all of their lives. Her work is not finished.

In a past blog I invited you to tell me what hymn you want me to include.  My computer ate up your responses.  Would you be so kind as to send them again? I believe that one of you requested "It is Well with my Soul".  Here it is:

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.

Though satan should buffet, tho' 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!

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.
Even so--IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.


IT IS WELL  (It is well) WITH MY SOUL (with my soul); 
IT IS WELL,   IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.

Love,  Jo
