Verse 1
There lived a man and a woman, in a town called Shunem
They made a home for Elisha, and found favor in his eyes
So God sent them a miracle, the only thing they longed for
Within the year they would hold a son, as Elisha prophesied


Verse 2

One day they ran from the field, brought the child to his mother
She held his head there on her knee, until he died at noon that day
She didn't tell anyone, she ran straight to the man of God
And if anybody asked her, she replied while on her way


Chorus

It is well, it is well
There is peace in my despair
Knowing God will hear my prayer
And I will cling to the promise that he brings
Even death can have no sting; no power in hell
In his presence I will dwell
Where it is well


Verse 3

Elisha stood by the bedside, where she laid the boy when he died
He prayed a prayer upon him, and he breathed new life again
Friend, God doesn't ever change, and if you'll have that woman's faith
He'll send you a miracle and until then you can say


Chorus

It is well, it is well
There is peace in my despair
Knowing God has heard my prayer
I will cling, to the promise that he brings
Even death can have no sting, No power in hell
In his presence I will dwell
Where it is well

Repeat Chorus
