VERSE 1
When I look back on my life
It isn’t hard to see
The hand of the divine
Ever guiding me
The brightest days the darkest nights
And everything between
Lord how good You’ve been
CHORUS
Oh what a friend I’ve found in Jesus
Oh what a hope I have in my Savior’s love
My first and last defense
My help my righteousness
What a friend I’ve found
VERSE 2
When I think of all the times
You’ve been there for me
Your word has been my light
That’s helped me find my feet
Your steady hand Your faithfulness
How constant You have been
It’s not hard to sing

Every high every low
Should waves arise where the sea billows roll
I’ve a friend so no matter what life throws
It is well it is well
It is well with my soul
TAG
It is well it is well
It is well with my soul
Jesus Our True Friend
“The hand of the divine ever guiding me” expresses the truth of God’s providence and sovereign care. Psalm 139:10 supports this with, “Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.” This highlights God’s constant presence in every part of life.
“Oh what a friend I’ve found in Jesus” points to John 15:15, where Jesus says, “I have called you friends.” This reveals the intimate and personal relationship believers have with Christ, not merely as Savior, but as Friend.
“Your word has been my light” reflects Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path,” showing that Scripture offers clarity and direction in every season.
“It is well with my soul” echoes the peace promised in Philippians 4:7, where “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.”
