[Verse 1]
C F C
There lived a man and woman in a town called Shunem.
G C
They made a home for Elisha and found favor in his eyes.
F C
So God sent them a miracle, the only thing they longed for;
G F C
Within a year they would hold a son as Elisha prophesied.
F C
One day they ran from the field, brought the child to his mother;
G C
She held his head there on her knee until he died at noon that day.
F C
She didn't tell anyone; she went straight to the man of God,
G F C
And if anybody asked her, she replied along the way,
[Chorus]
G
"It is well. It is well!
F Dsus4 G
There is peace in my dispair knowing God will hear my prayer,
C G
And I will cling to the promise that He brings.
F G
Even death will have no sting, no power in hell,
C D
For it is well!"
[Verse 2]
G D
Elisha stood by the bedside where she laid the boy when he died.
A D
He prayed a prayer upon him, and he breathed new life again!
G D
Friend, God doesn't ever change, and if you'll have that woman's faith,
A G D
He'll send you a miracle, and until then you can say,
[Chorus]
