Lyrics
If a man be in christ
He is a new creation
Old things are past behold all things are new
Whom the Son sets free
Is truly free indeed
What am going through is working out for me
I will be the head and not the tail
Above and not beneath
No weapons formed against me shall prosper
It's turning around for me
I see everything
Turning around for my good
Turning around for my good
Turning around for my good
I see everything
Turning around for my good
Turning around for my good
Turning around for my good

Meaning & Inspiration
Turning Around for My Good gathers several biblical declarations into a confession of renewal, freedom, protection, and hope. The opening lines describe life in Christ as a new creation, then move toward the freedom given by the Son. Its repeated assurance that present trouble is working for good gives the song a steady posture of trust rather than denial of hardship.
The language closely echoes 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 8:36, Deuteronomy 28:13, Isaiah 54:17, and Romans 8:28. Together, those references frame the refrain as confidence rooted in God: old things pass away, bondage loses its claim, and opposition does not determine the final outcome. The recurring phrase about everything turning around for good functions as both praise and expectation. Rather than detailing a particular struggle, the song keeps its focus on God’s ability to bring transformation and victory through circumstances that may still be unfolding.
