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
Sticking those awful feelings in my mind
I won't let it get to me, no
I ain't walking 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 nothing 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
