VERSE:
I've had trials and tribulations, unexpected situations, living here below
I've had friends that turned their backs on me and leave me standing in the cold.
I've been hurt in the church as I attempt to do God's work
By people who called themselves "friends"
Many times I felt like giving up, but the Spirit says, "You can't"
You know the Lord will put you through a lot of things you can't understand
And for everything He allows there's a reason
So in my life, the devil gets no glory
Everywhere I go, I'll tell the story
How God's got a way of turning things around
CHORUS
He meant it for my good; God meant it for my good
He brought me out without a doubt I knew that He would
Now I know no defeat, I'm strong when I'm weak
God gave me a song, now I must sing on
The devil meant it for bad, but I'm so glad
God meant it for my good.
VERSE:
The gossip, the lies, the tears in my eyes have worked out for my good
You see, I've stood the test of time and like a tree by the water, I stood
You see, through it all God gets the glory
Everywhere I'll tell the story, how God worked out things just for me
The devil meant it for bad, but I'm so glad
God meant it for my good
CHORUS
REPEAT 2xs
VAMP
He meant it; he meant it
That old devil meant
But God didn't want it that way
Oh no, no, no, no, no
He meant it for my good, yes
God meant it for my good
The devil meant it for bad, but I'm so glad
God meant it for my good.
