[Verse 1]
There Clived a man and woman Fin a town called Shunem.C  
They made a home for Elisha and found Gfavor in his eyes.C  
So God sent them a miracleF, the only thing they longed for;C  
Within a year they would hold a son as EGlisha FpropheCsied.
One day they ran from the fieldF, brought the child to his mother;C  
She held his head there on her knee until he Gdied at noon that dayC.
She didn't tell anyone; she went Fstraight to the man of GodC,
And if anybody asked her, she reGplied aFlong the Cway,
[Chorus]
"It is well. It is Gwell!
There is Fpeace in my dispair knowing Dsus4God will hear my Gprayer,
And I will Ccling to the Gpromise that He brings.
Even Fdeath will have no sting, no power in hellG,
For it is Cwell!"D  
[Verse 2]
Elisha stood by the bedside Gwhere she laid the boy when he diedD.
He prayed a prayer upon him, and he Abreathed new life again!D  
Friend, God doesn't ever changeG, and if you'll have that woman's faithD,
He'll send you a miracle, and unAtil then Gyou can Dsay,
[Chorus]
"It is well. It is A7well!
There is Gpeace in my dispair knowing Esus4God will hear my Aprayer,
And I will Dcling to the Apromise that He brings.
Even Gdeath will have no sting, no power in hellA,
For it is Dwell. It is A7well!
There is Gpeace in my dispair knowing Esus4God will hear my Aprayer,
And I will Dcling to the Apromise that He brings.
Even Gdeath will have no sting, no power in hellA,
For it is Dwell.
