HIVE OPEN MIC 103 | SURVIVAL | IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

🎵 Music Lovers of Hive Open Mic community! 🎙

Ksam is here again 😎 and this is the 103 week of our ever-bubbling Music event on Hive Platform, Hive Open Mic. And for this week our theme is: "Survival" and this theme was selected by my padi @mayorkeys. Baba na my role model 🙌 He is a great Keyboardists and the delight of many babes 🤲🏽. I hope he cuts soap for me so that I will also share from his grace 😁

Reflecting on the theme of Survival, mhen! I was confused, I didn't know what to choose. That moment when you want to present a Song, but you forget all the songs in the world. It'll be as though your mind is a clean slate. Just like John Locke's "Tabula rasa."

Am I the only musician experiencing this? 🥺

Well, @mayorkeys also saved me 😅 He chose the theme survival, and he made me survive this week 😅

He gave me this song selection indirectly, and I jumped on it sharp sharp.

By the way, the graphic design above is really wonderful and it really expresses this theme.... WE SHALL SURVIVE 😭

Reflecting on this song "IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL, I realised that it is the perfect choice for this theme.

When we are weighed down by sufferings, hardships, struggles of life and even depression, it'll be as though there's no hope for us. We may find it difficult to breathe, to survive, to push on, to move on 🤦‍♂️

At this point, while we try all human means to make it possible to move on, we also need to rely on the help of God. And remember that with God, all will be well 🥰

LYRICS

Verse One

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 (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul

Verse 2

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ (yes, He has) has regarded my helpless estate
And has shed His own blood for my soul

Chorus

It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
