In You, My Soul Finds Rest (Full Video & Lyric)

This hymn, "In You, My Soul Finds Rest," is a powerful expression of unwavering Christian faith and assurance rooted completely in the atoning work of Jesus Christ.
Meaning of the Song
The song moves through themes of suffering, redemption, and future hope.
• Verse 1 establishes the context: facing overwhelming sorrow and trials ("waves of sorrow sweep my soul"). The resolution is immediate and firm: the singer's true peace is found only in God ("In You, my soul finds rest").
• The Chorus is the core declaration. The singer's "hope is built on Calv’ry’s tree," signifying that their entire confidence rests on Jesus's crucifixion and blood shed for redemption. This anchor allows the singer to declare, "It is well, my Lord, with me," regardless of present circumstances ("Though clouds may gather").
• Verse 2 focuses on spiritual warfare, recognizing the attacks and accusations of the devil. The victory over these attacks is found solely in pleading the powerful Name of Jesus.
• Verse 3 affirms the complete and total forgiveness of sin—the concept of Substitutionary Atonement—where the singer's "sin... is nailed to the cross," leading to wholeness and an unbreakable union with God ("I am Yours, and You are mine").
• The Bridge turns to eschatological hope, longing for the Second Coming of Christ ("haste the day, the glorious sight") when faith becomes sight.

Lyrics:
In You, My Soul Finds Rest
(Verse 1)
When waves of sorrow sweep my soul,
And bitter trials take their toll;
When hope seems but a distant goal,
In You, my soul finds rest.
(Chorus)
My hope is built on Calv’ry’s tree,
Your blood was shed to ransom me;
Though clouds may gather, I agree,
It is well, my Lord, with me.
(Verse 2)
Though Satan’s whispers fill the night,
And accuse me in the fading light;
I plead the Name of pow’r and might,
Jesus, my victory!
(Chorus)
My hope is built on Calv’ry’s tree,
Your blood was shed to ransom me;
Though clouds may gather, I agree,
It is well, my Lord, with me.
(Verse 3)
My sin—not in part, but the whole—
Is nailed to the cross, I am made whole!
No power of hell can shake my soul,
I am Yours, and You are mine.
(Bridge)
And Lord, haste the day, the glorious sight,
When faith shall be lost in the dawn of true light,
And we see Your dear face, so brilliant and bright,
Come quickly, Lord Jesus, Amen!
(Chorus)
My hope is built on Calv’ry’s tree,
Your blood was shed to ransom me;
Though clouds may gather, I agree,
It is well, my Lord, with me.
