Introduction
Hey there! So, let’s dive into something truly special: “It Is Well With My Soul” by Joey+Rory, captured live in such a heartfelt performance. If there’s ever been a song that wraps around you like a comforting embrace, this is it.
First off, a little background: “It Is Well With My Soul” is a hymn that’s been around for quite some time, originally penned in the late 19th century by Horatio Spafford. The story behind it is both heart-wrenching and inspiring—Spafford wrote it after experiencing unimaginable personal tragedy, yet it resonates with a profound sense of peace and surrender. Isn’t it incredible how music can transform sorrow into serenity?
Now, when Joey+Rory take on this classic, they bring something uniquely theirs to the table. Joey Feek’s voice is like a warm, gentle breeze—it’s the kind of voice that seems to speak directly to your heart. Listening to her sing, especially live, is an experience that feels both intimate and expansive. You can almost feel the room breathing with every note, as if everyone present is sharing in a collective moment of reflection and solace.
The duo’s rendition of this hymn is not just about their musical talent, but about their genuine spirit and the love they had for each other and their faith. It’s the sort of performance where you just know they’re pouring their souls into every word. And honestly, isn’t that what makes live music so magical? That raw, unfiltered emotion that seems to transcend time and space?
One of the most beautiful things about this version is how it manages to evoke a sense of calm and acceptance, even when life feels anything but. It’s like a reminder that, despite life’s ups and downs, there’s a deeper peace to be found if we look for it. Have you ever had one of those moments where a song just hits you right in the core and makes everything around you feel a little more okay? That’s what this feels like.
So, if you haven’t listened to it yet, or even if you have, I highly recommend taking a moment to let this song wash over you. Maybe grab a cozy blanket, sit by a window, and just let Joey+Rory’s heartfelt performance remind you of the beauty in resilience and faith. You might find that it leaves you with a sense of peace, too. Have you ever felt that way about a song before? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Lyrics
When peace, like a river, attended 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
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin, not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
