Lyrics
You gotta keep your hands open
You gotta keep your heart open
Teach me how to receive
Every blessing
Every blessing
Give me the wisdom
To understand
How things work together
For my good
In Your plan
Oh for grace to believe
That I will receive
Every blessing
Give me the patience
To abide in Your will
Anxious for nothing
Your living word will fulfill
Give me the courage
To carry on
Loving like You were here
‘till You call me home
Everything is working together
Everything is working together blessing me
Searching my heart so that I can receive
Every blessing
Everything is working together
Searching my heart so that I can receive
Every blessing
Everything is working together
Everything working together blessing me
Through frustration and failure
I stay faithful
And receive power for my pain
(Everything is working together)
There were tears I had to cry to truly testify
God will deliver
And give us a brand new song to sing
Everything is working together (Oh my)
Everything is working together blessing me
All things are working together
Searching my heart so that I can receive
Every blessing
The losses in my life paid for the lessons
I had to learn to graduate to new levels with new devils to be defeated
(Everything is working together)
I stood my ground and then I
Found that You were standing there with me
Through all things (All things)
All things are working together (Working)
Working together blessing me (All things)
To be closer to You (All things)
‘Cause you satisfy my soul God
And that’s a blessing, that’s the blessing (Hey, hey)
All things are working together
Everything is working together
Everything is working together
Blessing me, God
Oh my
God is doing a
Great work
Great work
He’s working on me
He’s working on me
And He will finish
Rest ruling and abiding in my spirit
Finishing the work, yes He is y’all
God is doing a great work
And His grace is still sufficient (Great work)
He’s providing the present (Great work)
God is keeping me (Great work)
God is humbling me (Great work)
Thank You Lord (God is doing a great work)
Thank You for keeping me (Great work)
God is doing a great work
(Great work)
Teaching me how to receive (Great work)
Every blessing, a great work (Great work)
So sometime in the night
If you believe God is working

Meaning & Inspiration
Every Blessing frames spiritual growth as learning to receive from God with open hands, patience, and trust. The lyrics ask for wisdom to recognize how events can work for good within the divine plan. They also connect faith with endurance: frustration, failure, loss, and pain become settings in which grace sustains and character is formed. The repeated request to receive every blessing is therefore less about material gain than readiness for the work God is carrying out.
Several lines closely echo New Testament themes. The assurance that all things work together recalls Romans 8, while the call to remain anxious for nothing reflects the counsel in Philippians 4. The closing emphasis on God finishing a great work also parallels the promise in Philippians 1 that divine work will be brought to completion. Together, these ideas give the song a prayerful focus on perseverance, spiritual maturity, and confidence in faithful provision. Blessing appears as nearness to God, sustaining grace, and strength to continue.
