Sometimes it’s hard sometimes I cry
Sometimes my heart wants to know why?
But Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light
And though my heart is aching
And there’re tears in my eyes
Whatever my lot, you have taught me to know
It is well, it is well with my soul
It’s not always easy, I’m not always right
Sometimes I do things that are wrong in Your sight
But I have decided I’m going to follow Jesus
And there’s no turning back,
There’s no turning back.;
You have reached down to me,
You have rescued me
And have shed Your blood for my soul
And I live now knowing that the sky
And not the grave will be my goal
And just as in life, also in death
This truth will comfort and console
That soon I will see Your face
And hear Your voice and know that it is well…
Whatever my lot, You have taught me to know
It is well, it is well with my soul
But please hold my hand Lord and hold on tight
‘Cause the road here is narrow…
Brenton Brown & Daniel Ornellas
