Maverick City Music - For My Good Lyrics

Verse 1

I used to damn those desert valleys
But now I thank You for those droughts
I used to curse the walls around me
But now I see You had it figured out

Chorus

It was all working for my good
If only I knew back then what I know right now
Nothing is wasted in Your hands
God, You didn't forsake me
And I know You never will

Verse 2

There is beauty in the ashes
There's a peace within the storm
There's a song for every season
So don't stop singing
On and on until you see the sun

Chorus

'Cause it was all working for my good
I see it now
If only I knew back then what I know right now
Nothing is wasted in Your hands
God, You didn't forsake me
And I know You never will
I know You never will
You never leave me
You never will

Bridge

And I trust You
Even when I don't see You
I still trust You
When I don't understand I still lift my hands and worship in the middle of it

Verse 3

When I should've lost my mind
You showed up right on time
And carried me through the valley
All the way on the other side
And when pain tried to take my joy
That's when I felt You more

Chorus 2

Now I've gotta testify
God, You kept my heart alive
Oh, yes, You did
I didn't know if I'd survived
I gave up so many times
But You kept my heart alive
When love ones came to die
You never left my side
And You kept my heart alive
Yes, You did
Yes, You did
Yes, You did

Bridge 2

I'll praise You in the day
And I'll praise You through the night
'Cause You kept my heart alive
Yes, You did
Yes, You did
Yes, You did
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
'Cause You kept my heart alive
You kept my heart alive

Nobody else can do it
Nobody else can do it
You kept my heart alive
Nobody else can do it
Nobody else can do it
You kept my heart alive
Nobody else can do it
Nobody else can do it
I'm grateful
You kept me
Nobody else can do it
When nobody else
When I thought I was alone
You kept me
Nobody else can do it
When I thought I wouldn't make
When I thought I wouldn't make
You kept me
You kept me
When I thought it was over
You never left in the valley

Chorus

It was all working for my good
If only I knew back then what I know right now
Nothing is wasted in Your hands
God, You didn't forsake me
And I know You never will
You didn't forsake me
And I know You never will

Interlude

Come on lift those hand
Let's declare this
You never will
You never will
I need you to make that confession
You never will
When the enemy starts talking to you, declare
When he tries to make you feel that God has forsaken you, declare this
I lift my voice and say
Even in the middle of the storm, I'll say
Even when I'm confused, I'll say

Outro

It was all working for my good
Sing it over your heart
If only I knew back then what I know right now
I wouldn't have been mad at You
And nothing is wasted in Your hands
I know, God, You didn't forsake me
And I know You never will
God, You didn't forsake me
I thought You did
I know You never will
God, You didn't forsake me
Come on, raise th—raise your hand
