Introduction
Hey there! I just have to share with you this incredible experience I had listening to Joey+Rory’s live rendition of “It Is Well With My Soul.” You know how certain songs just feel like a warm hug? Well, this is definitely one of them.
First off, a little backstory: “It Is Well With My Soul” is a timeless hymn written by Horatio Spafford back in the 19th century. The story behind it is heart-wrenching—Spafford wrote these words after enduring unimaginable personal tragedy. Yet, despite his grief, he found peace and solace, and that message of resilience and faith shines through the song.
Now, imagine Joey+Rory taking that deeply emotional piece and breathing new life into it with their live performance. Their version is so raw and authentic; you can almost feel the room’s energy and the connection between them and the audience. Joey’s voice, in particular, is just mesmerizing—it’s both soothing and powerful, carrying the weight of the song’s history while adding a unique warmth that feels incredibly personal.
What makes this rendition special is how Joey+Rory manage to convey such profound peace and hope through their music. It’s not just about listening; it’s about feeling. Every note seems to resonate with a sense of comfort and understanding, almost like they’re whispering, “Everything is going to be okay,” right into your ear.
Have you ever had one of those moments where music just seems to understand you? That’s exactly what happened to me with this song. It’s the kind of performance that makes you pause and reflect, and maybe even shed a tear or two. And honestly, it’s a reminder of the beauty and strength that can be found even in the hardest times.
If you haven’t already, give it a listen. Let yourself be swept away by the melody and the heartfelt delivery. I promise, it’s an experience you won’t forget. And who knows, maybe it will become one of those songs you turn to when you need a bit of comfort or reassurance. Let me know what you think—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
