Oh, my life is filled with white-hot anxiety,   Though I think I wear it very well,   I still worry bout' what people might think of me   if they ever saw me past my outer shell.   Believe me, I know how to worry.   I've chewed my fingernails to the bone.   Oh, I've got my share of problems   Still it is well with my soul   Sometimes I wrestle with my conscience   Still it is well with my soul   Lord, I think about all that you've   done for me.   Lord, I think about it all the time.   But sometimes a ghost from the past starts   really haunting me,   stickin' those awful feelings in my mind.   I won't let it get to me, no.   I ain't walkin' down that old, dark road.   Oh, I've got my share of problems   Still it is well with my soul   Don't always know just how to solve them   Still it is well with my soul   Since I've been given true forgiveness   And it is well with my soul   I'll be about my father's business   And it is well with my soul   In my soul   I can see clearly   In my soul   Through the darkness surrounding me   Once you've tasted and seen   Then you'll know what I mean   There ain't nothin' gonna keep me down,   so...get up...   Oh, I've got my share of problems   Still it is well with my soul   Don't always know just how to solve them   Still it is well with my soul   Sometimes I wrestle with my conscience   Still it is well with my soul   Still I know that I've got true forgiveness   And it is well with my soul
