'It Is Well' Switchfoot Performs Classic Hymn For Lost Loved One - Christian Artists

Switchfoot performs a stunning at-home rendition of ‘It Is Well With My Soul’ for a loved one.

'It Is Well With My Soul' was written by Horatio Spafford and composed by Philip Bliss. After Horatio lost all four of his daughters, he wrote down these words as a testament of how God is with us through the good times and the bad.

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

Today’s performance was a special request for Switchfoot. On YouTube, the leader singer wrote, “It’s a song for a friend of a friend whose days among the living are ending soon. It's a song for the living, heading down that same path soon enough.” As you listen to these words, remember that God is always by our side. As long as we believe in Him, no harm can come our way.

"Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul"

Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
