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!"
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!
It is well, it is well with my soul!

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath 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 His Cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to His Cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live;
If dark hours about me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
If dark hours about me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

Lately I've been going through what I felt like was injustice in my personal life. The one person that I thought would be empathetic did not understand me. I tried physical activity but it was only good for my body but not for my heart and my which was in great turmoil. In my despair I remembered how hymns have always been an encouragement to me. I asked the Lord to give me a song in the night and He led me to this song. It is well with my soul even if I suffer injustly and I am misunderstood. Jesus suffered all that and more, and many people will continue to as long we are still living under the sun. The second stanza was such an encouragement: "that Christ hath regarded my helpless estate...." It is indeed well with me, and a privilege to share in Christ's suffering. Praise God,
I got my peace back.
