I was in the kitchen cooking the other day and as the radio shuffled through several songs, and this one struck me.
As I listened to these words I was filled with such immense gratitude that at this very moment I indeed did feel that “All Is Well” with my soul.
As someone that lived many years with my soul in turmoil and not realizing it was so fragmented, I was anything but well. I had experienced so much fracturing in my life. (You can find my Broken Girl Story for all the details in our Blog Archives)
As the song played I found myself reflecting back on how far Jesus has brought me. I thought of the shame and secrets of my past that had kept me in bondage.
I thought of the trials and losses in my life that almost shattered me. I was overcome with such emotion as I thought about my life and my story.
I felt more peace than I had ever known. I thought about where I have been and where I was today. I stood in awe thinking how beautifully God has written my story as I learned to hand over all the brokenness to Him. He is the Great Restorer!
The Bridge of the song came on and one thing I know now for sure is: Through it all our eyes have to be on God only to get us through each trial we will face.
Close your eyes and sing these words with the song: “So let go my soul and trust in Him. The waves and wind still know His name” And declare “It Is Well … With My Soul.”
Sing or play the song over and over until you start to feel His Presence fill and repair every fragmented and broken part of your soul.

Lyrics:
“It Is Well” by Bethel
Verse 1
Grander earth has quaked before
Moved by the sound of His voice
Seas that are shaken and stirred
Can be calmed and broken for my regard
Chorus
Through it all, through it all
My eyes are on You
Through it all, through it all
It is well
Through it all, through it all
My eyes are on You
It is well with me
Verse 2
Far be it from me to not believe
Even when my eyes can’t see
And this mountain that’s in front of me
Will be thrown into the midst of the sea
Bridge
So let go my soul and trust in Him
The waves and wind still know His name
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
