I am Chinese. By the grace of God, I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior at age 42 20 years ago. I read the Holy Bible and pray to the Lord daily. I now have true peace, joy and the assurance of salvation. I will glorify the Lord for the rest of my life. Hallelujah. Thanks be to the Lord my God and Savior Jesus Christ.
I'm 78 years old and have lost most all of my family and friends . But this song up lifts my soul and I know I will see them AGEN in the buy and buy .AMAN AND PRAISE GOD 🙏
My son in law was killed today. His wife and his 4 year old daughter and our entire family are devasted!(all is well with my soul) Jesus, give us the strength & hope we will see him again!
@@jadeng592 Thank you very very much for your prayers. It means a lot to me. It brings me joy to hear your words of encouragement. May Christ Jesus be with you at all times. Blessings from San Antonio Texas.
My son Matt died 3 months ago.....In my grief I found this hymn and now understand the story behind it. I played it several times and I felt my grief listed. Life on earth is hard...but our faith in Christ Jesus helps us get through good times and bad. This narrative is well done.
I’m praying for you as you go through the process of grief. It’s wonderful to know that you are trusting in God. There are trials in life that we just won’t understand but that doesn’t mean that God has abandoned us. May He keep you in peace until you see your son again.
I just lost my dad, and so glad he turned his life over to Christ. He was worshipping God with a peaceful smile on his face with his eyes closed and singing hymns as my wife was singing on stage at church. I believe he was repented up the day he died suddenly of a heart attack, and will be raised from the grave upon Jesus's return. (1 Thesalonians 4:16-18).
My late husband had loved this song his whole life. So it was his request to have this song be sung at his funeral. It was a hard day but a comfort at the same time. Praise God that we are children of God and will see each other again.
LaserFalcon, Remember that our troubles ARE troubles because the Enemy knows how to fit them to us, and God knows how to bless us THROUGH them. We cannot judge or negate our troubles simply because someone else's cross seems heavier. This song bears testimony to a blessed peace that can be ours in the teeth of our troubles. God bless you, find comfort from God's Word and among His people.
My late dad's favorite hymn. It was played at his funeral. He lost 3 kids and an adopted child too was lost at 33yrs old due to accident. We lost dad 20th March 2019. He battled with his health issues and I quote him"Even if I don't get healed my faith in christ Jesus is firm" praise the Lord because it is well with his soul in heaven. I survived miraculously with only my lovely mum. Even so it is well with our soul. The faith I have in christ Jesus grows stronger everyday.
@@tif7252 it is well dear. Hold unto Christ as an anchor ⚓ He is the all knowing. Someday when we all gather at his feet we shall understand it better.
Oh Lord, strengthen your children in this wicked country - Nigeria. When I heard the news of my dad's demised, I cried but this song consoled me... It is well with my soul. Keep resting in the Lord's bossom, Dad.
Grace be to you. You can also listen to this hymn about loving the Lord Jesus like the woman who wasted her most costly and valuable item on him: ua-cam.com/video/4aFSOg04Rn0/v-deo.html
I first heard this beautiful hymn in a Presbyterian church that I had been attending as I "strayed" away from my Catholic faith due to life's issues. The lyrics and beauty of the music moved me so much, I was brought to tears. While I have returned to my Catholic faith, this beautiful hymn remains one of my most favorite and uplifting hymns of all times. After listening to the story behind the author, I realize that I personally could never go through life without God's love and grace.
My late son always, sang the chorus of it is, well with my soul, 2 years ago he passed on and we sang it is, well with my soul at his funeral, as much as I grieve for my son I know he is at peace and that it is, well with both my soul and his. Thank you Jesus for your steadfast love
Absolutely Arlene my condolences to you and it’s a great song to sing you know I pray May his son Rest In Peace ✌️! How is the weather condition over there 👉? It’s currently 70 degrees here in Nevada
My son died in a motorcycle accident seven years ago at the age of 21. I still cannot see a father with a son in public without feeling overwhelming grief, sadness, and sorrow. The greatest gift in life is the time we have with loved ones. Blessings to you all!
Grace be to you. You can also listen to this hymn about loving the Lord Jesus like the woman who wasted her most costly and valuable item on him: ua-cam.com/video/4aFSOg04Rn0/v-deo.html
May God comfort you in a way only HIM can, l will pray for you, and may He give you peace that surpasses human understanding, and heal your heart, so that you can enjoy His goodness in the land of the living
Perhaps the "unsaved" are praying for you too. God does not care who is saved and who is unsaved. That is a great lie based on fear of a wrathful God, not a loving, caring God.
Amen. When you have done everything to stand, then stand and look up because our Redemption (Yeshua Ha Massiach) draws near. Shalom from South Africa. Pla pray for us.
_This turned ma eyes wet😓😓. May God bless everyone, especially the ones who are going through the darkest days of their life. As we all are facing a pandemic period now, we can hope that this too will pass and we will see the sunshine again. As a Christian, we know that the Lord is always there by our side and there's nothing to worry about. Let's sing this song and comfort our hearts" It is well with my soul"_
I lost my wife on 5th July 2021 through this pandemic,Covid 19. As I looked into her eyes,as I watched her life ebbing away in front of me,I consoled myself and repeated Job's remonstration.."Nit I know there is someone in heaven who will come at last to my defences." - Job 19:25
This story brought tears to my eyes, now I understand why God told me to learn this song. It's on my channel but it was before I watched this video, now that I understand the story behind this song, I will make more video recordings and add them to my channel. Lord, we love you, please let anyone who read this be touched and moved to change their lives and travel the narrow path with me for it is lonely traveling this path but the joy of The Lord is my strength. Sincerely, maurice 😢
During moments of sorrow, i find solace and peace in this hymn. I have learnt to be at peace, since it's always well with God. I have lost several members of my family, starting with my wife, parents, brother and sister in law, amongst others. Some day i will need to understand why, but all is well now that i trust that they are all well with the Lord. Second coming of our Lord is SOON. AMEN.
The Lord works in mysterious ways… As a result of the ongoing pandemic, I was catching up with the online sermons from the church which we regularly attend. I had just listened to the 2020 Easter sermon. I was not anticipating this video being next in the queue. With tears streaming down my face, I allowed it to auto-play. I have known this story, or as I have learned from this video, knew of one of the overtly sentimentalized versions. Not that it matters. I agree with the Author of the introduction, no additional sentimentalizing is required. I knew this story, on August 12th, 2015. Not by hearing the song, nor by reading the story. I knew it by the words given to me in a dream on the one-year anniversary of my 2-year old son passing away; “He is well, He is well, He is well with the Lord!” I know that these are not the lyrics of the song; however, they were to the same melody. I had never before heard “It is Well with My Soul”. I would not learn of this song until later that night as I was singing (my version of the lyrics) in the presence of a neighbor. That neighbor proclaimed, “That is not how those lyrics go. They are, ‘It is well. It is well. It is well with my soul!’” facebook.com/MatthewCCushman/posts/749410078502078 I thank the creator/author of this video for providing additional clarity to this tragic story and in doing so reminding me of the hope that God offers to us. While some may question a mother praying over her daughters while the ship was going down around her, or that a man would return to his wife’s side and accept God’s fate so willingly; please allow me to be a modern day testimony to God’s amazing love (albeit in far lesser magnitude than these examples). While knowing of God my entire life, I did not yet know Him fully until the evening of August 12th, 2012. The entirety of the night prior however, I spent in a pediatric ICU unit simply praying to the God whom I had not yet fully accepted. My prayer was not, "Heal my son and I will serve You". It was not, "Whatever I may give to You in exchange for his recovery, it is Yours." My prayer was simply, “God, please heal my son from head to toe and may Your will be done. Your will above my own.” This was not the prayer of a non-believer. This was not a prayer of my own manifestation. This was a prayer of the Holy Spirit on my behalf. Over 18 hours, I lost count of the number of times which this prayer crossed my lips both physically and mentally… God’s will was done (as it always is, Amen). My son was healed from head to toe just as I had prayed. Carter is/was/will always be at the side of God as of the early hours of August 12th, 2014. It was not until hours later, around 8 in the evening, that I accepted Christ into my life, a decision for which I had for so long been unwilling to make. As of that moment, I knew in faith what I only now know in truth; it is well, it is well, it is well with my Soul! We serve an amazing God whom has a plan and purpose for each of us. I pray that you may lay claim to the same as I; we serve a magnificent, loving, and protecting God. May it also be well with your soul. Take care and God Bless!
Bless you, your heartbreaking story gave me strength, as your testimony regarding your precious son Carter gives to thousands. His life and ‘home going,’ has more purpose than you can imagine on this earthly plane. Add us on FB, see request by my husb, Craig Tims. We have a son named Carter, my stepson, but in the spirit, mine too
I now know to use.... IT IS WELL! as my anthem and all my troubles that I faces in life and still facing...IT IS WE WITH MY SOUL ... thank you that you for this powerful message.. thank you Jesus for you grace and mercy🙏😇
In the midst of all earthly problems and struggles, it is good to know that it is well with my soul. What a way to test one's faith. One of the greatest hymns ever. Deeply touching.
Though life gets tough and we feel God seems to be nowhere... God is still there. And He in the midst of great tragedies and personal strife we still need to be still and know... He is in this storm still in control. 😢 I found out even more friends died in my life... but yet I praise God to know they are with Jesus today. Amen! ✝️ ❤
I still feel the anguish of losing my dear mother 2 weeks ago...feeling angry to the doctors who nevef made her well & the helper who gave her covid...she died negative of covid..but the pain will not be toppled by the joy of my mother being with God...i do hope everyone will find comfort whatever were feeling or what has life thrown to us...😭
“For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.” Hebrews 4:15
It is well with my soul, my best friend, my husband passed on and I was with him but I couldn't help out... I cried to God to save his life... But it is well 😭. Rest well love....you are happy in heaven
In 1997, my wife and I lost our only son/child Michael 4 days after his 14th birthday. I must say "God has taught me so much about Himself and an intimacy I never dreamed possible!" Praise Yeshua (Jesus) for knocking my socks off so many times with His awesomeness.
My special needs daughter recorded an arrangement of this song for her special needs community as a fundraiser - Promise In Brevard in Melbourne, Florida. This song moves my daughter's heart because of the story behind it. Thank you for sharing the rest of the story with us!
We just lost the baby that we planned to adopt on the 4 Jan 2019. There is an empty place in our hearts but we can say it is well with our soul because Jesus Christ died for our sins so we can have eternal life. Praise Abba Father!
On the evening of the 3rd of May we got a call that our baby boy was born that morning and that we could get him the next morning. Thank you Abba Father and Christ Jesus for our beautiful little boy. He is now 6 months old and his second name is Samuel. We are raising him for the Lord. We waited 22yrs for him. Our lifes are overflowing with joy.
This is a quote close to my heart. We were privileged to know one of Jim's closest friends, his widow & the widow of the leader of that mission team (away on furlough at the time the "seeds were planted" in that jungle long ago).
My soul is cast down. Please pray that the Lord return our 11 year old grandson, Bryan, whom we raised from birth. His dad now decided he wants him. Please, please pray he is returned to us. Thank you for your prayers. Al & Violeta
I can't imagine the loss you must be feeling..I am praying for your comfort as well as the return of your grandson ....Never lose faith loves...Together or apart you are still in the hands of a loving just God
I know that I shouldn't say this or anything else because in what ever I do say something or anything else that does come out of my mouth 👄 it will come out wrong 😭😢 it's better that I don't anything 😓🥺 and I also don't deserve to be the lord's daughter and I also know that I should not be the next one to be call to go on home when it's my time to go to sleep for ever🥺😓😢😭💔😨😥😇
Having heard this story before, this hymn has always been my favorite. When I was in my deepest darkest depression, these words played through my mind, until my lips could utter them. Through heart breaking tragedy came one of the most inspirational hymns ever written. To this day, this hymn blesses and is the perfect example on praising the LORD in adversity.
Dear Lord God, as I listened to this story I felt sad and also amazed because of the courage you gave this man to say those words and write a hymn accepting the fact that he had lost all four of his children, to me it would have been terrible and who knows if I had been able to congregate again although I would not stop believing in your grace, because, that grace your bloodshed in the flesh of my Saviour Jesus the anointed one is what keeps me going, your infinite and unchanging love is out of this world. Blessed and praised be thy name now and forever, AMEN!!!
It’s a year today I lost my beloved dad, this was his favorite hymn. It’s well with his soul, he lived a good life, he was a pastor a follower of Christ. 😢 even on his dying bed he still had faith and was singing thjs hymn. I know it’s well with his soul.
Very powerful when you look at the whole story behind it. That it wasn't written during a time when everything went fine in their lives, but when they had endured sufferings, still they managed to praise God and remain thankful towards Him! Still they managed to continue having their hope and trust in Him!
My favourite hymn of all time. The story behind it is so powerful yet wraught with tradgedy and sadness. The Lord uses these trials and makes something beautiful blossom from it. He would most likely never know his hymn to God would be a worldwide weapon of beautiful worship and hope that we still sing today over 200 years later..... 💜💜💜💜 Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight. The clouds be rolled back as a scroll....
This is the best song for a believer at a funeral.. our family has songs for our funerals. And that's about it. With dad leading songs all his life. Turns 92 in August. Mom plays piano at 83. We sang at assistant living once a week with hymnals to hand out. Dad tells stories behind songs. Including this one. He has a Great voice still too. Grandpa and Grandma. Both were like Singspirations. Singing out of the Red Book hymnal ..even when it's a different color like light blue or green. Lol. This and The Love of God are my favorite...and will be sung at my funeral..if the Lord tarries
I love you , Mama. I’ll see you in Heaven. It’s my mom who taught me this song and played it on the piano. She played the piano for her church > 30 years. She taught elementary school 29 years. We told each other when she died, this would play on piano at her funeral. She was taken by the Slow horrific death of Alzheimer’s , losing all her dignity in her physical body and mind. But It is Well with my Soul. Whatever my lot ...
Truly God can gives courage in any situation. This is a very good lesson specially the history behind the hymn as a reminder that we are steward of our children not the owners. May the Lord give courage to those who need him.
This was a skillfully created video of the origin of the old hymn. I am grateful for hearing it again as it was in the far reaches of my memory and I had forgotten about it. As well, I am strengthened by the sermon told with the historical account. Bless
I've always liked this song, it's amazing how something so peaceful and calming could come out of such a tragic circumstances...But that's just how God is.
“Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.” John 16:32
Thank you for your encouraging words! How blessed are those of us who have accepted Christ as Lord & Savior to be part of His universal family on earth - "Until He comes!" A recent commenter said that they found the idea of a tapestry encouraging. I think that it was a poem which they referenced & one which I learned as a child & I write it here, in full, in the hope that it encourages others:- "My life is but a weaving, Between my Lord & me. I cannot choose the colors He weaveth steadily. Oft' times He weaveth sorrow, And I, in foolish pride Forget He sees the upper & I the underside. Not 'til the loom is silent & the shuttle ceases to fly. Will God unroll the canvas & reveal the reasons why. For the dark threads are as needful, In the Master's skillful hand, As the threads of gold & silver, In the pattern He has planned. He knows, He loves, He cares. Nothing this truth can dim. He gives the very best to those who leave the choice to Him". - Corrie ten Boom. For those who, for some reason, were mislead to think that I had abandoned my faith - you are quite, quite wrong! The Lord has chosen to keep me here on earth for now &, although the pain is intractable, as long as I live, I WILL serve! One morning, awake as usual at 3am, I walked into the garden with my dog & was thanking God for the beauty of the night sky & remembering others who may be awake & in pain without the comfort of a personal Savior. I fell hard & fast into a patch of mud. No one would hear if I cried for help &, physically, I could not get to my feet alone. So I told God I would lie in the mud until He lifted me. God brought to my remembrance the story of Job & the fact that he never received a reason for all the pain & heartache he endured. It was simply enough for Job that he knew that God had allowed it & was right beside him in the darkness! There is too much need for us to sit, twiddling our thumbs & the time for Christ's return fast approaching (although NO man can tell when - Mark 13 verse 32). Many are still unreached by the gospel & the world needs to see us share the practical love of Christ also. We have empty rooms which can be filled by those in need & intend, with the Lord's help, to see others brought to Christ & live, knowing that God does care. Maybe you have an empty room or two yourself - or, maybe you can just heat a frozen pizza & share fellowship with someone who crosses your path with a heavy heart of loneliness - "Whoever would be great among you must be a servant....even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve & gave His life as a ransom for many". Matthew 20 v 26-28
This hymn played in a dream that woke me up (to still hear the tune) after my cousin died (whom I loved a great deal) and it helped still the morbid desire i felt to die when i heard of his death. I was inconsolable at that time of my life and this hymn comes at me at times when i most need it.
Ditto! This song has always been a favorite of mine, but now even more so after learning of how this song came to be. May all who hear it, give themselves totally and completely to Jesus Christ and know His peace, forgiveness, mercy, grace and especially His love. Whatever may come......"it IS well with my soul"!
Thank you so much for this video! What encouragement from the Spafford family, who through deep loss still claimed that it is well with their souls. This hymn is such a beautiful reminder of accepting tragedy and still having the peace to say It is well with my soul. The Spafford's finally reunited in heaven.
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to the motherless, sow it to (OJEABULU MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in Edo state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family.

For it is not by might nor by power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you.
Story of Job from the Holy Bible stands in parallel to this! Thank God for the hope in Christ! We are not destined for a life just for here, but for eternity!!
We often have questions about what happens to us, like when mom told me that my brother had died and I didn't have any then, The other is when I lost my baby sister who was so beautiful Just like an Angel, I remember crying each time I looked at mom and the baby's bed without her. But what followed after changed everything, we prayed that God will give me a brother and He did it, Young Emma is so amazing and beautiful too. Mummy Glorifies God for everything. God will never leave you child of God
I just had a dream in which America was going through war and troubles. At the end of it a man began singing this song in a tremendous was. When I woke up I had to look this song up, for it had been a long time since I heard it; and this is what I found. God is awsome!!!

I am so excited to hear this story Because I almost have up in Christ. But now I know that my problems are nothing and i believe that all my problems and worries can be solved just in a minute so therefore no matter the challenges that I am passing through today. It is well with my soul amen.
I use to sing this song when nothing was making sence in my life be it in the family, church, work community. In my finances no friends ,no church friends, no family by my side when I was sick and see my self being barried while am I was watching .then I sung it was well with my soul, then God restored back and stated restoring every thing I lost. Even now I still sing it is well with my soul
This is the most beautiful and wonderful story of faith and unquestionable love for God. I am truly touched and inspired. Praises to God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
I have the book "My Life and the Story of the Gospel Hymns" by Ira Sansky I have read what he wrote about this hymn. This is the first time I have ever heard ANYONE tell the true story of "It is well with my soul." Thank you for your research,! Thank you for this video!
@@TheLadybird108, try searching for "hymn stories book" on the internet. Kenneth Osbeck wrote a very good hymn stories book, and there are several others, as well. I'm not familiar with a hymn stories book by Ira Sanskey. I am familiar with the hymnwriter Ira D Sankey, but as far as I know, he didn't publish a book of stories about hymns, but just wrote the hymns.

It's losing my father that got me to even consider .... " It is well with my soul". No matter what happens, I Know Christ ..... It is well with my soul. What a thought!
The story behind this hymn reminds me again there is purpose behind each suffering if we commit it into God's hand because our God specialize in turning ashes into beauty. Thank you for making the video and for all who sharing your thoughts and stories. I pray that each person who watches this video would be drawn closer to the cross and our glorious Savior and Lord.
Through pressure, through pains, through sorrows,through death We can dively, creatively give birth To the most wonderful blessings for others to be encouraged and comforted.
What a coincidence! I was just studying the Book of Job 1:20-22 and came across this story at the same time. Reminds me of the afflictions of Job. Personally verse 22 touched my heart, despite of all the loses he suffered, he gave praise to God. May we have such faith in God as this beloved family. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely Annette I pray we do! They are nice and lovely 😊. And God is lovely 😊 we just have to have faith in him and he will do likewise you know. How is the weather condition over there? It’s currently 70 degrees here in Nevada
How utterly heartbreaking that the telegram he received from his wife stated ‘saved alone’ Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusted in thee. Isaiah 26:3
This is a testimony to be remembered. I had two miscarriages; one last year and the other earlier this year. Sometimes I question God whether or not He will do it again for me and my husband. We are not yet parents but would really love to experience the joy of being a parent. Please help us pray that God's Will will be done. It's all up to God. DLH
Becky sister in Christ I agree... to see the pictures and hear the story in detail is so touching... brings tears 😭 to my eyes... makes me realize we need to Give God thanks in all things....
1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." Be encouraged, brother. :)

Melanie Monroe Just wanted you to know you snd your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Whatever concerns or worries you have, please continue to ask the Lord for guidance and help. He will never let you or forsake you.
I am Chinese. By the grace of God, I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior at age 42 20 years ago. I read the Holy Bible and pray to the Lord daily. I now have true peace, joy and the assurance of salvation. I will glorify the Lord for the rest of my life. Hallelujah. Thanks be to the Lord my God and Savior Jesus Christ.
I rejoice in the Lord with you for your salvation and hope for our soon reunion in paradise.

Amen, brother! Although a foolish world mocks the faith we hold, we have so much more to look forward to. God Bless! You will be in my prayers😊🙏
Very sad
So sad. May God keep you comforted

May God grant you and your family strength

May the gracecand comfort from the Lord be with you n your family. He shall live
@@jadeng592 Thank you very very much for your prayers. It means a lot to me. It brings me joy to hear your words of encouragement. May Christ Jesus be with you at all times. Blessings from San Antonio Texas.
May God comfort you all
My son Matt died 3 months ago.....In my grief I found this hymn and now understand the story behind it. I played it several times and I felt my grief listed. Life on earth is hard...but our faith in Christ Jesus helps us get through good times and bad. This narrative is well done.
I’m praying for you as you go through the process of grief. It’s wonderful to know that you are trusting in God. There are trials in life that we just won’t understand but that doesn’t mean that God has abandoned us. May He keep you in peace until you see your son again.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Matt. Smith. There is another great song for those in grief; '' Does Jesus care..........'' particularly the last verse.
@@frankclarke2367 Thankyou for that, as I'm in grief at this time with the loss of two grandchildren....I cling to the Lord Jesus
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your son..
I just lost my dad, and so glad he turned his life over to Christ. He was worshipping God with a peaceful smile on his face with his eyes closed and singing hymns as my wife was singing on stage at church. I believe he was repented up the day he died suddenly of a heart attack, and will be raised from the grave upon Jesus's return. (1 Thesalonians 4:16-18).
My late husband had loved this song his whole life. So it was his request to have this song be sung at his funeral. It was a hard day but a comfort at the same time. Praise God that we are children of God and will see each other again.
I admire your strong faith in God too!

This hymn and story behind it always makes me realize my problems are nothing.
Same here. Sad, The guy went insane afterward and created a cult but before that...
For sure!
LaserFalcon Exactly! My sentiments exactly!
God cared but knew its cost. There's nothing without a cost. Do you know anything invented that never came without a cost?
LaserFalcon, Remember that our troubles ARE troubles because the Enemy knows how to fit them to us, and God knows how to bless us THROUGH them. We cannot judge or negate our troubles simply because someone else's cross seems heavier. This song bears testimony to a blessed peace that can be ours in the teeth of our troubles. God bless you, find comfort from God's Word and among His people.
My late dad's favorite hymn. It was played at his funeral. He lost 3 kids and an adopted child too was lost at 33yrs old due to accident. We lost dad 20th March 2019. He battled with his health issues and I quote him"Even if I don't get healed my faith in christ Jesus is firm" praise the Lord because it is well with his soul in heaven. I survived miraculously with only my lovely mum. Even so it is well with our soul. The faith I have in christ Jesus grows stronger everyday.
Wow, all the glory to God, your testimony is beautiful because despite everything you still love Him ❤
Glory be to God, he alone understands what we go through as Christians. It is well with my soul too❤
It is well
I lost my dad 3/23/23. He told me if on earth or in heaven he WILL be healed. 🥺 I may hurt but he is whole and for that I am thankful. ❤
@@tif7252 it is well dear. Hold unto Christ as an anchor ⚓
He is the all knowing. Someday when we all gather at his feet we shall understand it better.
We sang this Wednesday February 17, 2021. For our son who passed from his pain into healing and peace.
May his soul rest in peace,may GOD comfort and console you in Jesus name Amen 🙏
May you find comfort and strength in God's wonderful promises and blessings!
my sympathy 😕
💛🙏🕯
Oh Lord, strengthen your children in this wicked country - Nigeria. When I heard the news of my dad's demised, I cried but this song consoled me... It is well with my soul. Keep resting in the Lord's bossom, Dad.
Fellow Nigerian here. May the Lord continue to comfort and bless you and may His peace become your peace
Hold on to God's promises as it is the best thing to do! God bless you!
Grace be to you. You can also listen to this hymn about loving the Lord Jesus like the woman who wasted her most costly and valuable item on him: ua-cam.com/video/4aFSOg04Rn0/v-deo.html
What has Nigeria got to do with this song?
I first heard this beautiful hymn in a Presbyterian church that I had been attending as I "strayed" away from my Catholic faith due to life's issues. The lyrics and beauty of the music moved me so much, I was brought to tears. While I have returned to my Catholic faith, this beautiful hymn remains one of my most favorite and uplifting hymns of all times. After listening to the story behind the author, I realize that I personally could never go through life without God's love and grace.
💯
Thank you so much dear to return home
drifting from catholicism is probably the best thing you could do for your spiritual life
@@thejamnasium6447 be blessed for the rest of your life
I recommend reading "The Great Controversy " by E.G. White.
My late son always, sang the chorus of it is, well with my soul, 2 years ago he passed on and we sang it is, well with my soul at his funeral, as much as I grieve for my son I know he is at peace and that it is, well with both my soul and his. Thank you Jesus for your steadfast love
Absolutely Arlene my condolences to you and it’s a great song to sing you know I pray May his son Rest In Peace ✌️! How is the weather condition over there 👉? It’s currently 70 degrees here in Nevada
😢😢😢😢Sorry mom
My son died in a motorcycle accident seven years ago at the age of 21. I still cannot see a father with a son in public without feeling overwhelming grief, sadness, and sorrow. The greatest gift in life is the time we have with loved ones. Blessings to you all!
Grace be to you. You can also listen to this hymn about loving the Lord Jesus like the woman who wasted her most costly and valuable item on him: ua-cam.com/video/4aFSOg04Rn0/v-deo.html
May God comfort you in a way only HIM can, l will pray for you, and may He give you peace that surpasses human understanding, and heal your heart, so that you can enjoy His goodness in the land of the living
i pray for God’s comfort in the name of Jesus, Amen🤍
Looking at the meaning behind most of the church hymns has strengthened my faith in our Heavenly Father so much. Thank you for this one as well❤
My dad's favorite (one of) hymn...I sang it at his funeral...please pray for my unsaved family members - God bless
I don't know you but your family and yourself are in my thoughts right now. Sending love to you and to anyone who might read this. ❤️
Will pray for your unsaved family.
Perhaps the "unsaved" are praying for you too. God does not care who is saved and who is unsaved. That is a great lie based on fear of a wrathful God, not a loving, caring God.
No matter what, If we trust in Jesus we ll alz be singing it is well in with our souls. Not easy, but worthy🤲🙏
@@lisanotter satan is speaking through you and you are not saved and therefore you are under God's wrath.

_This turned ma eyes wet😓😓. May God bless everyone, especially the ones who are going through the darkest days of their life. As we all are facing a pandemic period now, we can hope that this too will pass and we will see the sunshine again. As a Christian, we know that the Lord is always there by our side and there's nothing to worry about. Let's sing this song and comfort our hearts" It is well with my soul"_
AMEN,,,,,,,,,,,BEAUTIFUL,,,,,,,,THANKYOU
So beautiful!! ♥️♥️ AMEN
I lost my wife on 5th July 2021 through this pandemic,Covid 19. As I looked into her eyes,as I watched her life ebbing away in front of me,I consoled myself and repeated Job's remonstration.."Nit I know there is someone in heaven who will come at last to my defences." - Job 19:25
This man was tested by God just like Job!! Oooh mercy to us who have a little faith!!😭😭😭🙆
God had to my faith
'Tis true.
faith is the victry always
This story brought tears to my eyes, now I understand why God told me to learn this song. It's on my channel but it was before I watched this video, now that I understand the story behind this song, I will make more video recordings and add them to my channel. Lord, we love you, please let anyone who read this be touched and moved to change their lives and travel the narrow path with me for it is lonely traveling this path but the joy of The Lord is my strength. Sincerely, maurice 😢
During moments of sorrow, i find solace and peace in this hymn. I have learnt to be at peace, since it's always well with God. I have lost several members of my family, starting with my wife, parents, brother and sister in law, amongst others. Some day i will need to understand why, but all is well now that i trust that they are all well with the Lord. Second coming of our Lord is SOON.
AMEN.
The Lord works in mysterious ways… As a result of the ongoing pandemic, I was catching up with the online sermons from the church which we regularly attend. I had just listened to the 2020 Easter sermon. I was not anticipating this video being next in the queue. With tears streaming down my face, I allowed it to auto-play. I have known this story, or as I have learned from this video, knew of one of the overtly sentimentalized versions. Not that it matters. I agree with the Author of the introduction, no additional sentimentalizing is required.
I knew this story, on August 12th, 2015. Not by hearing the song, nor by reading the story. I knew it by the words given to me in a dream on the one-year anniversary of my 2-year old son passing away; “He is well, He is well, He is well with the Lord!” I know that these are not the lyrics of the song; however, they were to the same melody. I had never before heard “It is Well with My Soul”. I would not learn of this song until later that night as I was singing (my version of the lyrics) in the presence of a neighbor. That neighbor proclaimed, “That is not how those lyrics go. They are, ‘It is well. It is well. It is well with my soul!’” facebook.com/MatthewCCushman/posts/749410078502078
I thank the creator/author of this video for providing additional clarity to this tragic story and in doing so reminding me of the hope that God offers to us. While some may question a mother praying over her daughters while the ship was going down around her, or that a man would return to his wife’s side and accept God’s fate so willingly; please allow me to be a modern day testimony to God’s amazing love (albeit in far lesser magnitude than these examples). While knowing of God my entire life, I did not yet know Him fully until the evening of August 12th, 2012. The entirety of the night prior however, I spent in a pediatric ICU unit simply praying to the God whom I had not yet fully accepted. My prayer was not, "Heal my son and I will serve You". It was not, "Whatever I may give to You in exchange for his recovery, it is Yours." My prayer was simply, “God, please heal my son from head to toe and may Your will be done. Your will above my own.” This was not the prayer of a non-believer. This was not a prayer of my own manifestation. This was a prayer of the Holy Spirit on my behalf. Over 18 hours, I lost count of the number of times which this prayer crossed my lips both physically and mentally…
God’s will was done (as it always is, Amen). My son was healed from head to toe just as I had prayed. Carter is/was/will always be at the side of God as of the early hours of August 12th, 2014. It was not until hours later, around 8 in the evening, that I accepted Christ into my life, a decision for which I had for so long been unwilling to make. As of that moment, I knew in faith what I only now know in truth; it is well, it is well, it is well with my Soul! We serve an amazing God whom has a plan and purpose for each of us. I pray that you may lay claim to the same as I; we serve a magnificent, loving, and protecting God. May it also be well with your soul. Take care and God Bless!
Matthew Cushman , wow and thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.
Bless you, your heartbreaking story gave me strength, as your testimony regarding your precious son Carter gives to thousands. His life and ‘home going,’ has more purpose than you can imagine on this earthly plane. Add us on FB, see request by my husb, Craig Tims. We have a son named Carter, my stepson, but in the spirit, mine too
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I suffer from horrific pain every day, but the Lord is with me always
God bless you!
Thank you so much for sharing your story and testimony.
Jesus Christ: “In this life, you’ll have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world”
I now know to use.... IT IS WELL! as my anthem and all my troubles that I faces in life and still facing...IT IS WE WITH MY SOUL ... thank you that you for this powerful message.. thank you Jesus for you grace and mercy🙏😇
Just cried 😭 just a beautiful peaceful song ,despite of so much adversity, so inspirational 💕🕊
It is well with our souls!
In the midst of all earthly problems and struggles, it is good to know that it is well with my soul. What a way to test one's faith. One of the greatest hymns ever. Deeply touching.
Though life gets tough and we feel God seems to be nowhere... God is still there. And He in the midst of great tragedies and personal strife we still need to be still and know... He is in this storm still in control. 😢 I found out even more friends died in my life... but yet I praise God to know they are with Jesus today. Amen! ✝️ ❤
I still feel the anguish of losing my dear mother 2 weeks ago...feeling angry to the doctors who nevef made her well & the helper who gave her covid...she died negative of covid..but the pain will not be toppled by the joy of my mother being with God...i do hope everyone will find comfort whatever were feeling or what has life thrown to us...😭
“For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.”

It is well with my soul, my best friend, my husband passed on and I was with him but I couldn't help out... I cried to God to save his life... But it is well 😭. Rest well love....you are happy in heaven
In 1997, my wife and I lost our only son/child Michael 4 days after his 14th birthday. I must say "God has taught me so much about Himself and an intimacy I never dreamed possible!" Praise Yeshua (Jesus) for knocking my socks off so many times with His awesomeness.
My special needs daughter recorded an arrangement of this song for her special needs community as a fundraiser - Promise In Brevard in Melbourne, Florida. This song moves my daughter's heart because of the story behind it. Thank you for sharing the rest of the story with us!
Hello friend 😌
What a blessing to listen to this during Lockdown. Thank you, Lord for guiding me to this. 🙏🌟🌹
Hello 🙂
Hi
Never get discouraged Jesus Christ keeps his words to us as long as we keep our words to Jesus way ofliving
And i'm watching/hearing this today.. Nov.01, 2021 and we still have the covid pandemic. It is well with our souls!
We just lost the baby that we planned to adopt on the 4 Jan 2019. There is an empty place in our hearts but we can say it is well with our soul because Jesus Christ died for our sins so we can have eternal life. Praise Abba Father!
Amanda Aitchison l will pray your prayers are answered. 😰🤗
I pray that Jesus fills that whole.
On the evening of the 3rd of May we got a call that our baby boy was born that morning and that we could get him the next morning. Thank you Abba Father and Christ Jesus for our beautiful little boy.
He is now 6 months old and his second name is Samuel. We are raising him for the Lord.
We waited 22yrs for him.
Our lifes are overflowing with joy.
@@amandaaitchison4302 God bless. All within His Time. ❤️
Amanda Aitchison May God bless you and bless the child. More precious than gold is patience. It leads to faith. Sending out prayers for your family 💓

This is another beautiful song I sing
Praise The Lord
Amen....few will know this and feel this. Powerful!
Beautifull
This is a quote close to my heart. We were privileged to know one of Jim's closest friends, his widow & the widow of the leader of that mission team (away on furlough at the time the "seeds were planted" in that jungle long ago).
It is well, It shall be well. It has a real meaning. I lost my beloved sister 16 Feb 2019. Its was hurting but now standing up again. Thank you Lord.
May the love of Christ and His forever presence strengthen you.
My soul is cast down. Please pray that the Lord return our 11 year old grandson, Bryan, whom we raised from birth. His dad now decided he wants him. Please, please pray he is returned to us. Thank you for your prayers. Al & Violeta
With you in prayer.
Thank you and God bless you, Ntsiki.
I can't imagine the loss you must be feeling..I am praying for your comfort as well as the return of your grandson ....Never lose faith loves...Together or apart you are still in the hands of a loving just God
Its well with your family
I know that I shouldn't say this or anything else because in what ever I do say something or anything else that does come out of my mouth 👄 it will come out wrong 😭😢 it's better that I don't anything 😓🥺
and I also don't deserve to be the lord's daughter
and I also know that I should not be the next one to be call to go on home when it's my time to go to sleep for ever🥺😓😢😭💔😨😥😇
Having heard this story before, this hymn has always been my favorite. When I was in my deepest darkest depression, these words played through my mind, until my lips could utter them. Through heart breaking tragedy came one of the most inspirational hymns ever written. To this day, this hymn blesses and is the perfect example on praising the LORD in adversity.
hello friend 🙂
This song always touches my heart .
Like the song ' Oh wait, meekly wait and murmur not'.
Dear Lord God, as I listened to this story I felt sad and also amazed because of the courage you gave this man to say those words and write a hymn accepting the fact that he had lost all four of his children, to me it would have been terrible and who knows if I had been able to congregate again although I would not stop believing in your grace, because, that grace your bloodshed in the flesh of my Saviour Jesus the anointed one is what keeps me going, your infinite and unchanging love is out of this world. Blessed and praised be thy name now and forever, AMEN!!!
It’s a year today I lost my beloved dad, this was his favorite hymn.
It’s well with his soul, he lived a good life, he was a pastor a follower of Christ. 😢 even on his dying bed he still had faith and was singing thjs hymn. I know it’s well with his soul.
two years since I lost mine, I wish I had the faith he had I always wished we had more time on this side of eternity.
We lost my 22 year old brother about a year and half ago .My mother loves this hymn it is nice knowing it's origin.
God comforts you all🤍🤍🤍🤍
Very powerful when you look at the whole story behind it. That it wasn't written during a time when everything went fine in their lives, but when they had endured sufferings, still they managed to praise God and remain thankful towards Him! Still they managed to continue having their hope and trust in Him!
I love this song
My favourite hymn of all time. The story behind it is so powerful yet wraught with tradgedy and sadness. The Lord uses these trials and makes something beautiful blossom from it. He would most likely never know his hymn to God would be a worldwide weapon of beautiful worship and hope that we still sing today over 200 years later..... 💜💜💜💜 Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight. The clouds be rolled back as a scroll....
It is well with my soul.
This is the best song for a believer at a funeral.. our family has songs for our funerals. And that's about it. With dad leading songs all his life. Turns 92 in August. Mom plays piano at 83. We sang at assistant living once a week with hymnals to hand out.
Dad tells stories behind songs. Including this one. He has a Great voice still too.
Grandpa and Grandma. Both were like Singspirations. Singing out of the Red Book hymnal ..even when it's a different color like light blue or green. Lol.
This and The Love of God are my favorite...and will be sung at my funeral..if the Lord tarries
I love you , Mama.
I’ll see you in Heaven.
It’s my mom who taught me this song and played it on the piano.
She played the piano for her church > 30 years.
She taught elementary school 29 years.
We told each other when she died, this would play on piano at her funeral.
She was taken by the Slow horrific death of Alzheimer’s , losing all her dignity in her physical body and mind.
But
It is Well with my Soul.
Whatever my lot ...
😢
I have asked my wife to let this song be song at my funeral. Because at that time it will be " Well will my soul ". 😄😇
Amen brother. How beautifully put. 🙏❤🙏
Even now, by the work that our Christ did on the cross, it is well with your soul sir
This was the song sang as my Daddy’s funeral
Amen brother. Amen. ❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen to that, It Is Well , it is Well with my soul🎶🎼🎶🌎🌏🌍🙏🙏🙏
Such a sad, and very humbling story.....after hearing this, I have no problems. Almighty God, please forgive me 😪😢
Truly God can gives courage in any situation. This is a very good lesson specially the history behind the hymn as a reminder that we are steward of our children not the owners. May the Lord give courage to those who need him.
This was a skillfully created video of the origin of the old hymn. I am grateful for hearing it again as it was in the far reaches of my memory and I had forgotten about it. As well, I am strengthened by the sermon told with the historical account. Bless
I've always liked this song, it's amazing how something so peaceful and calming could come out of such a tragic circumstances...But that's just how God is.
This story really touched my heart, and when the scriptures were being read, Lord I felt love in my spirit.
Horatio Spafford and his family are reunited in heaven above. He left behind a song that will live on.
“Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.”
John 16:32
Thank you for your encouraging words! How blessed are those of us who have accepted Christ as Lord & Savior to be part of His universal family on earth - "Until He comes!" A recent commenter said that they found the idea of a tapestry encouraging. I think that it was a poem which they referenced & one which I learned as a child & I write it here, in full, in the hope that it encourages others:- "My life is but a weaving, Between my Lord & me. I cannot choose the colors He weaveth steadily. Oft' times He weaveth sorrow, And I, in foolish pride Forget He sees the upper & I the underside. Not 'til the loom is silent & the shuttle ceases to fly. Will God unroll the canvas & reveal the reasons why. For the dark threads are as needful, In the Master's skillful hand, As the threads of gold & silver, In the pattern He has planned. He knows, He loves, He cares. Nothing this truth can dim. He gives the very best to those who leave the choice to Him". - Corrie ten Boom. For those who, for some reason, were mislead to think that I had abandoned my faith - you are quite, quite wrong! The Lord has chosen to keep me here on earth for now &, although the pain is intractable, as long as I live, I WILL serve! One morning, awake as usual at 3am, I walked into the garden with my dog & was thanking God for the beauty of the night sky & remembering others who may be awake & in pain without the comfort of a personal Savior. I fell hard & fast into a patch of mud. No one would hear if I cried for help &, physically, I could not get to my feet alone. So I told God I would lie in the mud until He lifted me. God brought to my remembrance the story of Job & the fact that he never received a reason for all the pain & heartache he endured. It was simply enough for Job that he knew that God had allowed it & was right beside him in the darkness! There is too much need for us to sit, twiddling our thumbs & the time for Christ's return fast approaching (although NO man can tell when - Mark 13 verse 32). Many are still unreached by the gospel & the world needs to see us share the practical love of Christ also. We have empty rooms which can be filled by those in need & intend, with the Lord's help, to see others brought to Christ & live, knowing that God does care. Maybe you have an empty room or two yourself - or, maybe you can just heat a frozen pizza & share fellowship with someone who crosses your path with a heavy heart of loneliness - "Whoever would be great among you must be a servant....even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve & gave His life as a ransom for many". Matthew 20 v 26-28
Even now I'm passing through storm's. ..I can still stand say it's well with my soul
I heard this for the first time at church today. Brought us to tears.
Thank you for the history behind this beautiful song, and for your commentary at the end.
still listening and comforted by this hymn in 2019 . God bless
My what a powerful message. I had no idea the history of this beloved hymn. Thank you so much for this gift.
Vinaka, to God be the Glory me noda vata na loloma ni tamada mai cake amen
This is song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌and the testimony attached to it is beyond measurable 😭😭😭😭
its a 150th anniversary of this amazing song this year
Such a touching story, by the way Jesus died for us and "It is well with my soul".
Amen
Molefe Mothibi Amen to that....
This hymn played in a dream that woke me up (to still hear the tune) after my cousin died (whom I loved a great deal) and it helped still the morbid desire i felt to die when i heard of his death. I was inconsolable at that time of my life and this hymn comes at me at times when i most need it.
I'll remember this every time I hear this song. Forever and ever amen.
Ditto! This song has always been a favorite of mine, but now even more so after learning of how this song came to be. May all who hear it, give themselves totally and completely to Jesus Christ and know His peace, forgiveness, mercy, grace and especially His love. Whatever may come......"it IS well with my soul"!
Thank you so much for this video! What encouragement from the Spafford family, who through deep loss still claimed that it is well with their souls. This hymn is such a beautiful reminder of accepting tragedy and still having the peace to say It is well with my soul. The Spafford's finally reunited in heaven.
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to the motherless, sow it to (OJEABULU MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in Edo state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family.

tell him I sent you. For it is not by might nor by power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you.
Story of Job from the Holy Bible stands in parallel to this! Thank God for the hope in Christ! We are not destined for a life just for here, but for eternity!!
I do believe it . I read the Bible everyday.
It really is.
I was making that exact parallel
Amen!
Job later received double. There is a just recompense for those who wait on the Lord and do not faint.
We often have questions about what happens to us, like when mom told me that my brother had died and I didn't have any then,
The other is when I lost my baby sister who was so beautiful Just like an Angel, I remember crying each time I looked at mom and the baby's bed without her.
But what followed after changed everything, we prayed that God will give me a brother and He did it, Young Emma is so amazing and beautiful too.
Mummy Glorifies God for everything. God will never leave you child of God
God bless us all. May we stand firm in the battle as well and remember to praise His glorious name. Amen.
Amen

I just had a dream in which America was going through war and troubles. At the end of it a man began singing this song in a tremendous was. When I woke up I had to look this song up, for it had been a long time since I heard it; and this is what I found. God is awsome!!!

I am so excited to hear this story
Because I almost have up in Christ. But now I know that my problems are nothing and i believe that all my problems and worries can be solved just in a minute so therefore no matter the challenges that I am passing through today.
It is well with my soul amen.
Though he slay me yet will I hope in him .
To God be all glory.
Powerful 🔥
Amen. to god be the glory
Sure
Very powerful
I use to sing this song when nothing was making sence in my life be it in the family, church, work community. In my finances no friends ,no church friends, no family by my side when I was sick and see my self being barried while am I was watching .then I sung it was well with my soul, then God restored back and stated restoring every thing I lost. Even now I still sing it is well with my soul
Such a sad and tragic story. What a blessing though that God caused good to come out of it. I love this hymn.
Hello friend 😊
The song is so spiritual that that it gives me goosebumps that you are lost in deep thoughts of the reality of life.
This is the most beautiful and wonderful story of faith and unquestionable love for God. I am truly touched and inspired. Praises to God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
hello friend 🙂
My all time favorite hymn…I have loved it for many many years…God bless you for this video 💞
I have the book "My Life and the Story of the Gospel Hymns" by Ira Sansky I have read what he wrote about this hymn. This is the first time I have ever heard ANYONE tell the true story of "It is well with my soul." Thank you for your research,! Thank you for this video!
It failed to mention that in 1871 his only son died. He was a very faithful man.
Can you please share the book if possible
@@alexhenry5542 actually it was mentioned.
where do you find this book, I would love to have one...please respond to me
Sylvia White
@@TheLadybird108, try searching for "hymn stories book" on the internet. Kenneth Osbeck wrote a very good hymn stories book, and there are several others, as well. I'm not familiar with a hymn stories book by Ira Sanskey. I am familiar with the hymnwriter Ira D Sankey, but as far as I know, he didn't publish a book of stories about hymns, but just wrote the hymns.
Praise the Lord. I'm crying... Oh, how good God has been to me...

The story behind this hymn reminds me again there is purpose behind each suffering if we commit it into God's hand because our God specialize in turning ashes into beauty. Thank you for making the video and for all who sharing your thoughts and stories. I pray that each person who watches this video would be drawn closer to the cross and our glorious Savior and Lord.

To the most wonderful blessings for others to be encouraged and comforted.
What a coincidence! I was just studying the Book of Job 1:20-22 and came across this story at the same time. Reminds me of the afflictions of Job. Personally verse 22 touched my heart, despite of all the loses he suffered, he gave praise to God. May we have such faith in God as this beloved family. Thank you for sharing.

Hello friend ✨
This is a testimony to be remembered. I had two miscarriages; one last year and the other earlier this year. Sometimes I question God whether or not He will do it again for me and my husband. We are not yet parents but would really love to experience the joy of being a parent. Please help us pray that God's Will will be done. It's all up to God. DLH
