THERE LIVED A MAN
AND A WOMAN
IN A TOWN
CALLED SHUNEM
THEY MADE A HOME
FOR ELISHA
AND FOUND FAVOR
IN HIS EYES
SO GOD SENT THEM
A MIRACLE
THE ONLY THING
THEY LONGED FOR
WITHIN THE YEAR
THEY WOULD HOLD A SON
AS ELISHA PROPHESIED
ONE DAY
THEY RAN
FROM THE FIELD
BROUGHT THE CHILD
TO HIS MOTHER
SHE HELD HIS HEAD
THERE ON HER KNEE
UNTIL HE DIED AT NOON
THAT DAY
SHE DIDN'T TELL ANYONE
SHE RAN STRAIGHT TO
THE MAN OF GOD
AND IF ANYBODY
ASKED HER
SHE REPLIED
WHILE ON HER WAY
IT IS WELL
IT IS WELL
THERE IS PEACE
IN MY DESPAIR
KNOWING GOD
WILL HEAR MY PRAYER
AND I WILL CLING
TO THE PROMISE
THAT HE BRINGS
EVEN DEATH CAN HAVE
NO STING
NO POWER IN HELL
IN HIS PRESENCE
I WILL DWELL
WHERE IT IS WELL
ELISHA STOOD
BY THE BEDSIDE
WHERE SHE LAID THE BOY
WHEN HE DIED
HE PRAYED A PRAYER
UPON HIM
AND HE BREATHED
NEW LIFE AGAIN
FRIEND
GOD DOESN'T EVER
CHANGE
IF YOU'LL HAVE
THAT WOMAN'S FAITH
HE'LL SEND YOU
A MIRACLE
AND UNTIL THEN
YOU CAN SAY
IT IS WELL
IT IS WELL
THERE IS PEACE
IN MY DESPAIR
KNOWING GOD
HAS HEARD MY PRAYER
AND I WILL CLING
TO THE PROMISE
THAT HE BRINGS
EVEN DEATH WILL HAVE
NO STING
NO POWER IN HELL
IN HIS PRESENCE
I WILL DWELL
WHERE IT IS WELL
IT IS WELL
THERE IS PEACE
IN MY DESPAIR
KNOWING GOD
HAS HEARD MY PRAYER
AND I WILL CLING
TO THE PROMISE
THAT HE BRINGS
EVEN DEATH WILL HAVE
NO STING
NO POWER IN HELL
IN HIS PRESENCE
I WILL DWELL
IN HIS PRESENCE
I WILL DWELL
WHERE IT IS WELL
IT IS WELL
