Lyrics
Verse 1
Before I knew my name, before I drew a breath
He was making ways for me
Now and everyday, in each and every step
He is making ways for me
Pre-Chorus
When my heart is full of doubt
Feels like faith is running out
I've come too far to turn around
I know
Chorus
God will work it out
God will work it out
One thing I know
One thing I've found
God will work it out, woah
Oh, yes, He will
Oh, things are coming together
Verse 2
Pushing past the fear, fighting to relief
He is making ways for me
And He won't let me down, never ever leave
He's still making ways for me
Pre-Chorus
When my heart is full of doubt
It feels like faith is running out
I've come too far to turn back 'round
I know (I know)
Chorus
God will work it out
God will work it out
One thing I know
One thing I've found

One thing I know
One thing I've found
Oh, God will work it out

Be encouraged
Be encouraged

Meaning & Inspiration
“God Will Work It Out” presents trust as a steady answer to fear and uncertainty. The verses acknowledge a heart filled with doubt and faith that feels depleted, yet they return to God’s continuing care: he makes a way, does not abandon his people, and remains active before the outcome is visible. The repeated title functions as a confession that circumstances do not have the final word.
The bridge draws directly on the language of stillness and knowledge of God, closely echoing Psalm 46:10. “Be still my soul” also shifts attention from anxious striving toward reliance on God alone. As the song moves from future assurance to the declaration that God is working now, its focus remains on divine faithfulness rather than personal control. Repetition gives the central conviction room to settle: fear may persist, but trust can take hold because God’s presence and work are not limited by what can presently be seen.
