Even though "It Is Well with My Soul" is written to be a bit faster than it's usually sung and with a light
rock feel, the use of the mellow flugelhorns help bring to mind the poignant lyrics penned by Horatio Spafford
in the late 1800s after several tragedies had affected his family.
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
