It is Well



I thought that today I would share a video from one of the many protests that took place last weekend around the country in favor of equal marriage rights. The singers here are Jason and deMarco, a gay married couple whose music ministry brings them to churches all over the world and Alan Lett, their producer and also a recording artist himself.

This hymn, It is Well, has the power to speak to all of us -- whatever our background or circumstances -- of the hope we can find within us in a God who stands by us in our sorrows and who gives us strength and courage to overcome our fears and persevere.

Blessings,
P. Chuck

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
