The Light

O my LORD
You're the light of my life
You're my strength to be strong to survive,
Now to whom shall I fear,
And to whom shall be afraid?

When my foes came upon my door
Though they'd tried all their best to win
They would only fail.

CHORUS

One thing I desire
That I keep inside
Which I may dwell in house of the LORD,
I was lost and drowned
But behold I'm home
He had come, I am safe with my soul
He's the Light that guides me home
He's the Light that guides me home.

Not so long time ago when I was still in high school, I was reading King James Version and read upon this beautiful song from the Book of Psalms. From there, I made this into a song which now plays an important reminder to me that I have the Spirit of the LORD to guide me whenever I am feeling not sure of the world.#

Happy Christian

I feel so blessed by the Holy Spirit of the LORD. This song is currently the most special and dearest to my heart. It can move me by spirit. I am always safe in His arms. To God be the Glory.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,

It is well, with my soul,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

Let this blessed assurance control,

That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

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, with my soul,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;

The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,

Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,

It is well, with my soul,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Words by Horatio G. Spafford, 1873
Music by Philip P. Bliss, 1876


The words to this hymn was written after two major traumas in Spafford's life. The first was the Great Chicago Fire of October 1871, which ruined him financially. Shortly after, while crossing the Atlantic, all four of Spafford's daughters died in a collision with another ship. Spafford's wife Anna survived and sent him the now famous telegram: "SAVED ALONE." Several weeks later, as Spafford's own ship passed near the spot where his daughters died, he was inspired to write these words.




Bliss originally named the tune "Ville de Havre" after the ship on which Spafford's four girls perished, the SS Ville de Havre. Ironically, Bliss himself died in a tragic train wreck shortly after writing this music.
