It Is Well with My Soul | You Haven’t Heard It Like This in Years

IT IS WELL Brother Golston | Revival Country Gospel It Is Well is Brother Golston’s original Southern Gospel Quartet adaptation of the beloved hymn “It Is Well with My Soul” — a timeless Christian song about trusting Jesus through sorrow, storms, uncertainty, and the hardest miles of life. Inspired by old-time gospel, traditional Southern Gospel harmony, and revival country gospel, this new adaptation honors the historic hymn written by Horatio G. Spafford, with music by Philip P. Bliss, while introducing newly adapted lyrics, original sections, quartet responses, and a new arrangement. The road may disappear. The night may grow long. Our strength may fail. But Jesus remains. And through it all, the heart can still say: “It is well.” ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT THIS ADAPTATION “It Is Well with My Soul” has carried believers through grief, uncertainty, and difficult seasons for generations. The original hymn text was written by Horatio G. Spafford in the 1870s. Philip P. Bliss composed the tune VILLE DU HAVRE, and the hymn was published with Bliss’s music in 1876. This Brother Golston version is an original adaptation of that historic public-domain work. It preserves the central message of faith and peace in the middle of suffering while introducing adapted and newly written lyrics, a new pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, quartet responses, and a new Southern Gospel arrangement. This is not about pretending the storm never came. It is about knowing Who remains when it does. When the night grows long — You remain. When my strength is gone — You remain. When the storm rolls on — You remain. Jesus, forever the same. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SONG CREDITS “It Is Well” Original Adaptation of “It Is Well with My Soul” Original Lyrics: Horatio G.

Maybe life doesn’t look the way you thought it would. Maybe you’ve buried someone you loved. Maybe the road ahead is harder to see than it used to be. Faith doesn’t mean there was never a storm. Sometimes faith is standing in the middle of one and still being able to say: “It is well.” If this hymn has carried you through a difficult season, tell us in the comments what “It Is Well” means to you. And tell us what city and state — or country — you’re listening from today. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BROTHER GOLSTON | REVIVAL COUNTRY GOSPEL Southern Gospel Quartet. Revival Country Gospel.
