'It Is Well with My Soul' was written by Horatio G. Spafford and Phillip P. Bliss. It is ONE of the songs released from a project entitled 'His Glorious Praise'. This project was Arranged and Orchestrated by Bob Krogstad and the audio recording was produced by Good Life Productions. This timeless song was written by a Chicago lawyer who was recovering from consecutive tragedies where he lost the majority of his successful real estate investments, the death of his 4-year-old son from scarlet fever, and the tragic drowning of his four daughters at sea. The writer of this song had planned a trip to Europe by ship with his wife and their four daughters. He was delayed in Chicago by last-minute business, so he sent his family ahead on the ship. While crossing the Atlantic, the ship was struck by another vessel and sank in just 12 minutes. His four daughters tragically perished, but his wife survived. She was pulled from the water and sent him a telegram that contained the devastating words "saved alone...what shall I do?" He immediately set sail across the Atlantic to join his grieving wife. During the voyage, the ship's Captain called him to his cabin to inform him that they were passing over the exact spot where the ship had sunk and his children had been lost. In the midst of unspeakable grief and on those very waters, he penned the famous words to this song that begins with "when peace like a river, attendeth my way...when sorrows like sea billows roll". 'It Is Well with My Soul" has remained in continuous use for 150 years and modern arrangements have accumulated over 100 million views on platforms like YouTube. It has been translated into more than 50 languages and appears in over 500 different hymnals worldwide. 'It Is Well with My Soul' remains well-liked today as a universal song of comfort in the face of loss or unthinkable tragedy.
