"But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!"
From "It Is Well With My Soul" by Horatio Gates Spafford

Stunning photo and one of my favorite hymns. Well done.
Gorgeous shot, Yogi and pairs well with the words.
I was about to ask if you knew the story behind it until I saw your link.
Love this. Good job Yogi!
That's one beautiful sky, and no doubt about it.
awesome shot. thanks for sharing. :)
did you know horatio penned the lyrics after finding out his wife and all his children - i think there were five - drowned in an accident at sea? i love this song, and never get tired of reading the lyrics born of such unthinkable tragedy.
