Tori Kelly and Gospel Choir Sing ‘Soul’s Anthem (It Is Well)’

A Grammy Award-winning musician gave a stunning performance, singing a song about having faith in God even when everything around us may be falling apart. 

Faith is a huge component of being a follower of God. There are often murky, unclear situations in life that require relying entirely on the Lord. His guidance and protection are needed frequently in life. God will even call out, asking us to step out and act in faith, even when we are unsure of the outcome.

Tori Kelly, while being backed up by the talented Solevoci Gospel Choir, sings “Soul’s Anthem (It is Well).”

In the song’s opening verse, Tori admits that she’s been struggling to place all her trust in God. She also states that living in a state of reliance on constant prayer has been difficult. So, Tori asks the Lord to help her in these areas. However, despite all her doubts, she still has enough faith to know God will see her through.

In the following verse, Tori mentions another issue that often troubles many. Fear, she sings, can get so bad that, at times, she’s paralyzed by it. This debilitating fear reminds her that she is not in control. Once again, though, she sings about her faith, knowing that it is well with her soul.

Later in the song, Tori and the choir incorporate lyrics from a beloved hymn. 

“It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul”

What a beautiful and moving performance about faith. The lyrics in the song remind us that when everything may be crumbling all around us, God is still working. He is still in control. He, as it says in His Word, will never leave or forsake us.

And the Lord, he it is that does go before you; he will be with you, he will not fail, neither forsake you: fear not, neither be dismayed (Deuteronomy 31:8)
