'It Is Well With My Soul' Brother And Sister Piano Duet

'It Is Well With My Soul' Brother And Sister Piano Duet

‘It Is Well With My Soul,’ brother and sister piano duet is worth the listen.


The video opens with the sister playing at the piano. Very quickly we see a split screen with the brother standing elsewhere, possibly outside as he sings.

The video was filmed this year, so them performing separately makes sense considering the pandemic. Seth Yoder is the brother in the video, and his sister at the piano is Valerie Keim.

A third sibling, their brother Dom handled all the videography.

Seth cites the original lyrics in the video’s description, which he attributes to Horatio G. Spafford from 1873.

He also places a Biblical quote in the video description too.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)

Talk of the soul is present throughout scripture. And the message of the song comes straight out of the Bible itself. There are plenty of verses, much like the one above, that discuss the presence of suffering in our everyday lives. Nonetheless, we can choose to see God despite the pain and know He is for us. Always.

Psalm 46, which Seth cites includes this message, as do other Psalms like 13 and 42.

Hearing this family duo gives us a pleasant reminder during a very important part of the year. Despite the difficulties of 2020, God has never stopped, loving, caring, or blessing us.

Though we may not have all we want. Though we may not have done all we wanted. God has always blessed us because He has loved us with an “everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3).

May we rest in this knowledge as we sit with family and other loved ones on Christmas and New Year’s Day. We have so many reasons to thank God. And that is true every day.
