I'm 73 years old and, having some Scotts'/Irish in me, I've never heard,or seen, this hymn done in a more beautiful way! Thank God for you all who sang ,played the instruments, and produced the video!!To God be the glory, now and forever more!!!🙏❤️✨️

[@karenbrinkley1637]

Amen! Maurice

[@johnherlihy4739]

I know how you feel! I am 56% Irish through my 2 parents! But, through my Dad, I am 3% Norwegian and 2% Scottish. Through my Mom, I am 6% Norman/ English! This makes me 67% Celtic! My people, the Irish and the Celts, are great people! That are distinct but related!

[@douglasschnieder7816]

With you brother 🙏🏽 May your soul prosper and be joyful As we sing the word of God Bless You

[@benhanses]

My Father was a seeker, a mystic whose greatest joy was pushing into searching the Love that God gave us in Scripture. He read everything he could get his hands on that related to faith and Scripture. Teaching was his profession. When dimentia claimed his mind, it was heartbreaking to watch my hero lose the very thing he loved most- using his mind to glorify his God. He finally went to his Maker early during the Covid pandemic. And as sad as it was to lose him, we rejoiced for him to be whole again. He loved simple worship songs that focused on Truth and the praise of God. It Is Well was his favorite hymn... and I Exalt Thee brought him to joyful tears of praise many, many times. This version is fantastic, and he wouldve had it on loop/repeat for hours.

[@lizh1988]

We never know why things happen. My dad was not very appreciative of worship music, Bible study or anything like that. He eventually became Alzheimic, sorry to say. But God can use what the devil did for evil to do good. Maybe in his last days, He was filling your father in an unusual way, with goodness.

[@johnjdunbar1427]

The Holy Spirit led me to this song today and I've been crying for at least a half an hour. I've heard "It is well" and "I Exalt Thee" hundreds of times. But this arrangement just destroyed me. In a very good way. Thank you!!!

[@glynisredeemed4542]

Can't wait until we are all around the throne of our great God and saviour singing his praises together.

[@lindaduffy5063]

Love this group and love this song, they are heavenly blessed and hey they're Scottish so I'm a bit bias. May every ear who listens be blessed 🙌

[@marksellers4875]

The LORD inhabits the praise of His people! Can't help but believe He's singing right along...

[@beholdheiscomingonthecloud5526]

Don't know about that, but the LORD will sing: Zephaniah 3:17 in the Bible says, "The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing".

[@jakeyoung6742]

Wow!!! Just…wow!! This was absolutely incredible. Nice work! God is good!!

[@lizbradshaw8084]

Why are my eyes crying listening to this beautiful music. Will God hand out tissues in Heaven.

[@aname9917]

God provides three things that I count on to sustain me: Prayer (to talk it over with God), Scripture (to remain grounded in facts), and worship - to encourage my soul. This video, such an exquisite truthful worship, is an extremely important vessel of worship to drink from to be refreshed. God is using this to encourage and console. Thank you.

[@chrisschene8301]

Well said. Thanks for those wise words

[@amigo123yt]

So beautiully expressed = prayer , scripture, and worship.. Thank you .

[@gloriablair1978]

Thank you for singing these songs during this evil time but very soon we all who love the King of Kings appearing will be with Him.

[@waynefriesen3883]

I agree. We will be changed in the twinkling of an eye. And meet him in the clouds and forever be with him.

[@MattMarvane]

Can't stop crying ! the presence of God is so strong !! well done guys !

[@billcamp06]

Ditto!

[@delaneyberg9788]

God’s presence is always strong, even when we don’t feel Him or have an emotional response. Because He has said “I will never leave you not forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5) we can take comfort that He is near even when He seems so far away. Hope this encourages you today 😊

[@mariannemckay2160]

Dear Matt, join us on 18/19 June 2022 in Glasgow Royal Concert Hall or 25th June in Usher Hall, Edinburgh for a live rendition. Tickets available online. Come sing God’s praises with us! God bless.

[@cellea5862]

One day we'll all be together worshipping our Lord in Paradise!!!

[@iammilorex]

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. Refrain: 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 blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for 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! But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, The sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord! Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul! I exalt thee! I exalt thee Oh Lord! I exalt thee! I exalt thee! Oh Lord! It is well. It is well, with my soul. 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.

THAT'S WHAT I AM TALKIN' 'BOUT! This a window into another realm some people call "home." Turns-out, "home" is right here on earth, it is just in an alternate reality, but it is right here. Jesus called it "the kingdom of God." See Him peaking through the lattice! Feel Him springing-up on the inside, Hear Him in each heart-beat saying, "I AM."
