Marvin Winans - It's All God Lyrics
Lyrics
I've got money in the bank; cars in the drive way
I've got a house I can claim; clothes in my closest
I've got a bed for my head; shoes for my feet
I've got breath in my body and if I was just anybody
I'd say it's all good but I know better its all God
But I know better its all God
I've got friends I can call when I need help
I've got family when I fall to pick me up
I've got a bed for my head; shoes for my feet
I've got breath in my body and if I was just anybody
I'd say it's all good but I know better its all God
But I know better its all God
It's all God (7x's) Solo
And if (and if I was just anybody
I'd say (say) it's all good (it's all good) but I know better its all God
But I know better its all God)
Marvin Winans Talk: The bible says Psalm 27:13 David said I had fainted less I had believed to see the goodness of the God in the land of the living and what we come to understand and know that even when it doesn't look good it works for the good to all those that are called according to his purpose. Help me say
It's all good; it's all God 11x's its all good
And if (and if I was just anybody
I'd say (say) it's all good (it's all good) but I know better, but I know better, but I know better its all God)

Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2010, "It's All God" by The Soul Seekers featuring Marvin Winans stands as a profound testament to divine providence, transcending the superficial markers of material wealth and superficial well-being to illuminate the deeper source of all blessings. The song’s narrative opens with a seemingly straightforward enumeration of life’s comforts: financial stability, a home, clothing, and even the fundamental gift of breath. However, Winans immediately pivots from this personal inventory, declaring that while anyone else might simply call these circumstances "all good," his understanding is far more profound. He recognizes that these blessings, and indeed all things, are ultimately rooted in God's divine orchestration. This perspective echoes the wisdom found in James 1:17, which states, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." The song then expands this recognition to include the invaluable support systems of friends and family, highlighting that even these vital human connections are part of God's benevolent plan for our lives. The repeated assertion, "it's all God," isn't just a musical refrain; it’s a theological declaration that every facet of existence, from the tangible to the relational, is a manifestation of God's grace. This resonates powerfully with the Psalmist's declaration in Psalm 23:1, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," which underscores a complete reliance on and trust in God for all needs. Marvin Winans’ spoken word interlude further deepens this theological reflection, referencing Psalm 27:13 and the principle articulated in Romans 8:28: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." This pivotal scripture directly addresses the human tendency to judge situations by their immediate appearance, reminding us that God’s work is often beyond our immediate comprehension, yet always purposeful and ultimately for our benefit when we align ourselves with His will. The song’s message encourages a shift in perspective, urging listeners to move beyond fleeting worldly assessments and to cultivate a spiritual awareness that acknowledges God’s sovereign hand in every aspect of their lives, fostering gratitude and unwavering faith even in the face of tribulation.
