The Stories Behind the Songs

The songs we sing were sometimes written in a period of great personal loss, like It Is Well with My Soul, or in the throes of deep despair, like There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood. Others were written for specific occasions, and still others were inspired by an event in the news, or by some personal experience,
