It is well with my soul

Psalm 23 1The Lord is my shepherd;I shall not want.2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

3He restores my soul;He leads me in the paths of righteousnessFor His name’s sake.

4 Even, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil;For You are with me;Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;You anoint my head with oil;My cup runs over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow meAll the days of my life;And I will dwell in the house of the LordForever.

I shall not want (I lack nothing)

Romans 8:31 If God is for us, who can be against us?

34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble orhardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

36 In all these things we are more than conquerors.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;

He tends his flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart. (Isaiah 40:11

Refrain:It is well with my soul,It is well, it is well with my so
