Lyrics
Verse
The devil comes to steal, kill, destroy
But we serve a God who does much more
Than we can ever imagine
Whatever happened is working
He's turning it around right now
Chorus
You are God enough
To take what the enemy meant for evil
And turn it
You are God enough
To take what the enemy meant for evil
And turn it
You are God enough
To take what the enemy meant for evil
And turn it for my good
Bridge
He's turning it around
It's working for my good

Meaning & Inspiration
"WATCH HIM TURN IT" opens by naming the enemy's stated purpose directly, quoting a well-known description of the devil's aim to steal, kill, and destroy, before immediately contrasting that aim with God's greater capacity to act beyond expectation. The verse frames present difficulty not as random but as something already being reversed, describing whatever has happened as currently being turned around rather than left unresolved. The chorus repeats a single theological claim three times with only small variation, that God is capable enough to take what the enemy intended for harm and redirect it, echoing a well-known Old Testament account of harm being repurposed for good. Ending the chorus with the phrase "for my good" personalizes that general claim, applying an ancient pattern of reversal to the singer's own present circumstances. The short bridge restates the same conviction plainly, that the reversal is already underway and already working, closing the song on confident repetition rather than continued questioning.
