IT IS WELL....WITH MY SOUL

IT IS WELL TO HAVE THE HEART MADE STEADFAST

THROUGH GOD’S GRACE…

(JESUS SAID)

I WILL SHOW YOU

WHAT HE IS LIKE WHO COMES TO ME

AND HEARS MY WORDS

AND ACTS

UPON THEM

HE IS LIKE A MAN BUILDING A HOUSE

WHO DUG DEEP DOWN 

AND LAID HIS FOUNDATION ON ROCK.

WHEN THE FLOOD CAME

AND TORRENT CRASHED AGAINST THE HOUSE

BUT COULD NOT SHAKE IT

BECAUSE IT WAS WELL BUILT.

ALL PRAISE TO GOD, THE FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

WHO HAS BLESSED US 

WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN THE HEAVENLY REALM

BECAUSE WE ARE UNITED WITH CHRIST.

EVEN BEFORE HE MADE THE WORLD

GOD LOVED US

AND CHOSE US 

IN CHRIST

TO BE HOLY AND WITHOUT FAULT IN HIS EYES.

GOD DECIDED IN ADVANCE TO ADOPT US INTO HIS OWN FAMILY

BY BRINGING US TO HIMSELF

THROUGH JESUS CHIRST.

THIS IS WHAT HE WANTED TO DO

AND IT GAVE HIM GREAT PLEASURE.

SO WE PRAISE GOD FOR THE GLORIOUS GRACE

THAT HE PURCHASED OUR FREEDOM

WITH THE BLOOD OF HIS SON

AND FORGAVE OUR SINS.

HE SHOWERED HIS KINDNESS’ ON US

ALONG WITH

WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING.

GOD HAS NOW REVEALED TO US

HIS MYSTERIOUS PLAN REGARDING CHRIST

A PLAN TO FULFILL HIS OWN GOOD PLEASURE.

AND THIS IS THE PLAN: AT THE RIGHT TIME HE WILL BRING EVERYTHING TOGETHER

UNDER THE  AUTHORITY OF CHRIST—-

EVERYTHING

IN HEAVEN

AND ON EARTH.

FURTHERMORE, BECAUSE WE ARE UNITED WITH CHRIST

WE HAVE RECEIVED AN INHERITANCE FROM GOD

FOR HE CHOSE US

IN ADVANCE

AND HE MAKES 

EVERYTHING

WORK OUT

ACCORDING 

TO HIS PLAN.
