May 10, 2021: Another Song of My Family!

  • Rafz, Switzerland

"Da wir nun aus Glauben gerechtfertigt sind, so haben wir Frieden mit Gott durch unseren Herrn Jesus Christus, durch den wir im Glauben auch Zugang erlangt haben zu der Gnade, in der wir stehen, und wir rühmen uns der Hoffnung auf die Herrlichkeit Gottes. Aber nicht nur das, sondern wir rühmen uns auch in den Bedrängnissen, weil wir wissen, dass die Bedrängnis standhaftes Ausharren bewirkt, das standhafte Ausharren aber Bewährung, die Bewährung aber Hoffnung; die Hoffnung aber lässt nicht zuschanden werden; denn die Liebe Gottes ist ausgegossen in unsere Herzen durch den Heiligen Geist, der uns gegeben worden ist."

Die BIBEL: Römerbrief 5,1-5

"It is well with my soul!"

"When piece like a river attendeth my way ..."

Monday we came back to Rafz from our house in Germany-Tiengen. A great and nice surprise was waiting there: My siblings together with some of our nieces, nephews and families and some of our own children had recorded this wonderful song. Matthias, my brother in Ireland, put the pieces together into a nice online choir video. We had to watch and listen to it several times, wiping the tears from our eyes.

I am sure that is why I could sleep so well last night 😉 and could go to the therapy this morning in a well rested manner. For this I am so thankful to the Lord, and for such a wonderful family!

Some impressions attached below …

Thank you, Samuel and Miri: so nice to see you and your lovely kids.

In a way you had been our virtual guests here with us yesterday evening, and you provided us a great joy with this song!

Thank you, Mira, over to the USA, for your singing along! Your daughter is already so grown up – such a pity that we cannot see each other!

Thank you, Bori and Hanna with your loved ones!

So nice that you have thought of me, of us!

Dear Manuel and dear Emily, so nice to see you as family with your kids. You have such a great responsibility and taks and blessing! We raised 5, so we can feel with you.

Dear Yvonne, thank you all for this wonderful song!

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace like a river Attendeth 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

Chorus

It is well with my soul, It is well, It is well with my soul

2

Tho’ Satan should buffet Tho’ trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ hath regarded My helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood For my soul

3

My sin O the bliss Of this glorious tho’t
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

4

And Lord haste the day When the 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
