It Is Well

      C                    F                        C
There lived a man and woman in a town called Shunem.
                                      G                 C
They made a home for Elisha and found favor in his eyes.
                          F                                C
So God sent them a miracle, the only thing they longed for;
                                        G     F     C
Within a year they would hold a son as Elisha prophesied.
                               F                                 C
One day they ran from the field, brought the child to his mother;
                                             G                    C
She held his head there on her knee until he died at noon that day.
                                F                          C
She didn't tell anyone; she went straight to the man of God,
                                G      F        C
And if anybody asked her, she replied along the way,

                   G
"It is well. It is well!
         F                           Dsus4            G
There is peace in my dispair knowing God will hear my prayer,
           C            G
And I will cling to the promise that He brings.
     F                                         G
Even death will have no sting, no power in hell,
          C      D
For it is well!"

                           G                                   D
Elisha stood by the bedside where she laid the boy when he died.
                                    A                       D
He prayed a prayer upon him, and he breathed new life again!
                               G                                      D
Friend, God doesn't ever change, and if you'll have that woman's faith,
                                A        G       D
He'll send you a miracle, and until then you can say,

                   A7
"It is well. It is well!
         G                           Esus4            A
There is peace in my dispair knowing God will hear my prayer,
           D            A
And I will cling to the promise that He brings.
     G                                         A
Even death will have no sting, no power in hell,
          D           A7
For it is well. It is well!
         G                           Esus4            A
There is peace in my dispair knowing God will hear my prayer,
           D            A
And I will cling to the promise that He brings.
     G                                         A
Even death will have no sting, no power in hell,
          D
For it is well.
