It is well with my soul

I was going to get the flower, those months ago when we last spoke ink.
But I realized I have no clue how many kids we could end up with.....so I decided the petal for each child was a no go.That song is The One for me. You know, The One?
The one that you love to blast in the car and sing at the top of your lungs, even if you're a terrible terrible vocalist.
The one that never ever gets old no matter how many times you listen to it.
The one that as soon as you heard it someplace you had to rush home and look it up so you could make sure you found a copy for yourself then you started to play on repeat for hours on end.
The one whose story was so touching the first time you learned it you could hardly believe it could be true.
The one that resonates with you in a way that you feel compelled to make it your own personal anthem.
The one that reminds you of Who God Is and helps you to be better for Him, faithfully bringing you back to your own smallness, your extremely limited capacity and His unfathomable sovereignty-that deep underneath any control you may try to claim, you really do want to relinquish it to He who is infinitely more capable to care for your life than you are and rest in assurance that He's got you.
The one that feels like yours.
I know I share it with many : ) But this is that song to me.
My favorite version is Selah's.

Yes, the part that grips me every time is...
"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, Oh my soul!"
What a glorious thought indeed!
