Prompt / Lyrics
I grew up on Sunday mornings, stiff-backed in a pew Sang the songs, said the words, like good cowboys do Had my hat off at the right time, bowed my head just right But come Monday in the daylight… I was losin’ every fight Tried to fix what was broken with my own two hands Like mendin’ up a fence post in sinking sand Looked strong on the outside, yeah I played that role But there was dust in my spirit… and cracks in my soul ⸻ (Chorus) It is well… it is well… Ain’t what I could do, it’s what He did on that hill I was worn, I was lost, I was runnin’ on my own Now I stand here sayin’… it is well with my soul ⸻ (Verse 2) Life’ll throw you hard, leave you flat on your back Starin’ at the sky, wonderin’ what you lack I’ve been there in the silence, where the night cuts deep Where a man meets his truth… and he can’t fake peace Religion said, “Boy, clean up, then come inside” But I couldn’t wash this dirt, no matter how I tried Then I heard a voice say, “Son, just bring it all” “I’ll make dead things live… if you answer My call” ⸻ (Chorus) It is well… it is well… Ain’t what I could do, it’s what He did on that hill I was worn, I was lost, I was chasin’ control Now I stand here sayin’… it is well with my soul ⸻ (Bridge) Yeah, you can’t grab new life with your hands full of old Gotta lay down your pride, let Him take control Ain’t no patchwork fix, ain’t no halfway change When He calls you new… you ain’t the same ⸻ (Breakdown – spoken/sung slow) No more pretendin’… No more playin’ church… Just a broken man… Letting Jesus work… ⸻ (Final Chorus – Big, emotional) It is well… it is well… Every scar, every sin, every story I tell I walked in one man… but I ain’t leavin’ that soul Now I stand here free… it is well with my soul ⸻ (Outro) Yeah, I ain’t who I was… And thank God I’m not… ‘Cause He made me new… Right here on this spot…
