It Is Well With My Soul

Thursday night we joined with Warragul Corps Band for a rehearsal with Colonel Robert Redhead. It was a great rehearsal that concluded with the Eric Ball’s piece “Serenity” featuring the theme It Is Well With My Soul. Throughout the rehearsal our worship was always to the fore.
Thank you, Colonel.

I remember a few years ago, hearing the Norwood City Band playing their Competition Hymn Tune arrangement “It Is Well With My Soul” written for them by Bill Broughton. It is an amazing piece, and it was played with excellence. I do wonder what it would sound like when played by a band of players who live the experience.


Psalms 146:1-10 (NIV)
Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them-- the LORD, who remains faithful forever. He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free, the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous. The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the LORD.
