Travis Greene - Intentional Lyrics
Lyrics
All things are working for my good
'Cause He's intentional
Never failing
I know that all things are working for my good
He's intentional
Never failing
All things are working
All things are working for my good
'Cause He's intentional
He's intentional
And He's never failing, never failing
All things are working for my good
All things are working for my good
He's intentional
He's intentional
He's never failing, never failing
All things are working
All things are working for my good,
I know that all things are working for my good
All things are working for my good
I know that all things are working for my good
All things are working for my good
All things are working for my good
All things are working for my good
Alright, hands up, sing!
Oh, oh, oh.
We can smile 'cause we know it's working
Oh, oh, oh.
Through the hurt and the pain
I know it's working for my good
I know it's working for my good
This my part
I don't have to worry
'Cause it's working for me
It's working for me
And I believe it's working for me
I can smile again
And I don't have to worry
'Cause it's working for me
It's working for me
It's working for me
Come on! Sing that! I will say that...
I don't have to worry
'Cause it's working for me, yeah,
it's working for me
It's working for me
It's working for me
And I can hold my head up
It's working for me
Get your confidence back
Sing I don't have to worry
I don't have to worry
'Cause it's working for me
It's working for me
My faith is rising now
It's working for me
And although I can't see how
it's working for me
I know that He's intentional
He's intentional
Yes He is
He's intentional
He's been doing it for a long time
He's intentional
He's been doing it for a long time
He's intentional
I'll be giving my trust now
He's intentional
I'll be giving my praise now
He's intentional
He's intentional
He's intentional
And He's never failing
Never failing

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on January 29, 2016, as part of the esteemed WOW Gospel 2016 compilation album, Travis Greene's "Intentional" quickly resonated as a profound declaration of faith and trust. The song arrives not as a gentle suggestion but as a powerful, confident affirmation, straight from a heart deeply rooted in scriptural understanding. It speaks to a divine truth that anchors believers amidst life's uncertainties, weaving a narrative of God's deliberate involvement in every detail of existence.
At its core, "Intentional" draws its strength from the foundational biblical promise found in Romans 8:28, declaring, "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." Greene distills this powerful truth into a simple yet profound anthem: "All things are working for my good 'Cause He's intentional Never failing." This isn't merely a hopeful sentiment; it's a firm conviction that every event, every twist and turn, every moment of joy or sorrow, is meticulously orchestrated by a God who acts with purpose and foresight. He isn't reacting to our circumstances; He has a sovereign plan, and His nature is consistently faithful, meaning His plans will never fall short. This divine intentionality provides an unshakable assurance, reminding us that even when our paths seem convoluted or painful, a greater good is being forged, just as Jeremiah 29:11 proclaims God's plans for our welfare, not for evil, to give us a future and a hope.
The song's genius lies in its unwavering focus on this central message, building layers of personal application and encouragement. It moves beyond a general theological statement to a deeply personal assurance, evident in lines like, "I don't have to worry 'Cause it's working for me." This echoes the powerful call to release anxiety found in Philippians 4:6-7, which encourages us to present our requests to God with thanksgiving, promising a peace that surpasses all understanding. Greene brings this peace into tangible reality, emphasizing that even "through the hurt and the pain," the divine orchestrator remains at work for our ultimate benefit. This perspective transforms suffering, aligning with 2 Corinthians 4:17, which reminds us that our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory. The simple, repetitive nature of the lyrics acts as a spiritual mantra, helping to reprogram our minds from worry to unwavering trust, a testament to God's steadfastness described in Hebrews 13:5, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
"Intentional" serves as a spiritual pep talk, a call to reclaim our confidence in God's perfect oversight. The repeated emphasis on "He's intentional" and "He's never failing" is not just a creed to be recited; it’s an invitation to experience deeper rest and renewed praise. When Greene sings about faith rising and trusting even when we "can't see how," he is articulating the very essence of faith itself, as described in Hebrews 11:1 – "faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." The song culminates in an active response of trust and praise, shifting the focus from our problems to the problem-solver. It reminds us that our God is not only present but actively engaged in shaping our stories for good, always fulfilling His purposes, as Isaiah 55:11 assures us that His word will accomplish what He desires. Ultimately, "Intentional" is more than a song; it's a powerful, scripture-infused declaration designed to fortify the believer's spirit, inspiring enduring hope and active worship in the face of any circumstance, knowing that every detail is perfectly woven into His masterful design.
