It Shall Be Well

When Elisha was given such good care by the Shunammite woman, given a room, with table, bed, and a stool, and candlestick, He called to his servant Gehazi and said this woman has given such care, what is to be done for her, Gehazi answered, verily she is without child, and her husband is old. Elisha said Call her and when he had called her, she stood in the door. And Elisha said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And the woman said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, no not lie unto thine handmaid. And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season, that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life. When the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. (grain cutters). And he said unto his father My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother. And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died. And she went up, an laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out. She went to find the man of God and her husband asked where wilt thou find this man it is neither new moon, nor sabbath, and she said, It shall be well.

It shall be well, my soul does speak, it shall be well, when things seem bleak, it shall be well, My Lord says so, It shall be well, His promises I know.

It shall be well, when the storms ride high, it shall be well, when things seem dry, it shall be well, my fears He will calm, it shall be well, His will be done.

It shall be well, when shadows loom, it shall be well, no impending doom, it shall be well, the Son will shine through, it shall be well, for greater is He, within you, it shall be well, He's promised, He'll do.
