Oh, my life is filled with white-hot anxiety, |
|
Though I think |
|
I wear it very well, |
|
I still worry bout' what people might think of me if they ever saw me past my outer shell. |
|
Believe me, |
|
I know how to worry. |
|
I've chewed my fingernails to the bone. |
|
Oh, I've got my share of problems |
|
Still it is well with my soul |
|
Sometimes |
|
I wrestle with my conscience |
|
Still it is well with my soul |
|
Lord, I think about all that you've done for me. |
|
Lord, I think about it all the time. |
|
But sometimes a ghost from the past starts really haunting me, sticking those awful feelings in my mind. |
|
I won't let it get to me, no. |
|
I ain't walking down that old, dark road. |
|
Oh, I've got my share of problems |
|
Still it is well with my soul |
|
Don't always know just how to solve them |
|
Still it is well with my soul |
|
Since I've been given true forgiveness |
|
And it is well with my soul |
|
I'll be about my father's business |
|
And it is well with my soul |
|
In my soul |
|
I can see clearly |
|
In my soul |
|
Through the darkness surrounding me |
|
Once you've tasted and seen |
|
Then you'll know what |
|
I mean There ain't nothing gonna keep me down, so...get up... |
|
Oh, I've got my share of problems |
|
Still it is well with my soul |
|
Don't always know just how to solve them |
|
Still it is well with my soul |
|
Sometimes |
|
I wrestle with my conscience |
|
Still it is well with my soul |
|
Still I know that |
|
I've got true forgiveness |
|
And it is well with my soul |
