It Is Well by Kutless

It Is Well is the 2009 worship album from the Oregon rock band Kutless, who set aside their harder sound for a set of hymns and modern praise songs. It draws on old standards and newer writing alike, all given a steady, guitar-led treatment. The theme sits in the title hymn: a faith that holds firm whatever the circumstances.

Why listen?

The sound is melodic worship rock, fuller than a typical praise record but never heavy. The production is warm and roomy, balancing electric guitars against open, singable choruses. The lyrics move between confession, gratitude, and resolve, plain and direct throughout. There is a clear thread of trust in trouble running across the songs. It is music made by a rock band leaning into stillness, and the contrast suits them.

Favourite song: What Faith Can Do

The album's standout single, an open-hearted anthem about hope holding on when everything says give up. It grows steadily towards a chorus made for singing along.

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do

The way it builds feels like pressing on up a long slope when the top is still out of sight. The song stakes everything on quiet trust, and carries it lightly. That steady hope in the face of hard ground is what stays with me.

Key takeaway

It Is Well is a warm worship record from a rock band at rest. A steady, hopeful listen.
