OFFERTORY IT IS WELL Kristene DiMarco / Dan Galbraith
Grander earth has quaked before Moved by the sound of his voice Seas that are shaken and stirred Can be calmed and broken for my regard
Far be it from me to not believe Even when my eyes can’t see And this mountain that’s in front of me Will be thrown into the midst of the sea
Chorus And through it all, through it all My eyes are on you And through it all, through it all It is well And through it all, through it all My eyes are on you It is well with me
(Chorus) So let go my soul and trust in him The waves and wind still know his name (Chorus)
