It will come as no surprise to those who have been following this blog for a while that when it was my turn to choose my favourite hymn / song I went with something from Chris Tomlin.
Christian funerals should be extremely powerful. There is an incredible emotional mix going on. Obviously there is grief and sadness and it is right that there are tears. But then there is also the amazing hope that we have in Jesus. The hope of the resurrection.
There is the promise of God that no matter what we go through, God has promised to be with us every step of the way. No matter what my story is - there is a bigger story. My story fits into God's story. And therefore I can say, 'It is well, it is well, with my soul'.
In the first clip Chris Tomlin talks about how he came to write this song. He talks about the bridge and how it builds. I love this part of the song.
