The source of the song, It is well with my soul
Horatio G Spofford was a successful lawyer was a successful businessman in Chicago with a lovely family, a Wife, Anna, and five children. However, they were not strangers to tears and tragedy. Their young son died of Pneumonia in 1871, and in that same year, lost much of their business in the great Chicago fire.
On a trip to Europe the ship Mrs. Spafford and her four daughters were sailing in, sunk, and only Mrs. Spafford survived. When sailing over that same spot where the girls drowned, Mr. Spafford wrote these words.

When peace like a river attendeth my soul,
When sorrows like sea billows roll,
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to know,
it is well, it is well with my soul.

Refrain; It is well (it is well)
with my soul, (with my soul)
it is well, it is well with my my soul.

I do not know how they did that, but obviously only God can get one through that!

Hebrews 13:5 I will never leave you, nor forsake you
