Everything Works Together For Good

When the night is long and heavy,

and my strength begins to fade,

when the prayers I speak feel hollow,

and my heart is worn and frayed —

still Your mercy keeps on moving,

like a river through the pain;

and the dawn that seems so distant

whispers softly, “Hope remains.”

God give me hope and give me strength,

cleanse my heart, renew my faith.

When I’m cold without a fire

and no hope of finding wood,

remind me everything You do

works together for good.

I have lost the ones I cherished,

and the ones who chose to leave;

some who turned their backs in anger,

calling me what I can’t be.

But You gather up the pieces

that the world has thrown aside;

and You build a home from heartache

where Your wounded children rise.

God give me hope and give me strength,

cleanse my heart, renew my faith.

When I’m cold without a fire

and no hope of finding wood,

remind me everything You do

works together for good.

You are the flame when mine is dying,

You are the truth when fear is lying,

You are the arms that hold me steady

when the storm breaks where I stood.

You are the love that won’t abandon,

You are the cross that still stands open —

every loss and every burden

You are turning into good.

Every loss and every burden

You are turning into good.

---

You’re in the waiting and the wandering,

You’re in the breaking and the mending;

You’re in the chapters still unfinished,

In the stories You make new.

Every valley, every shadow,

Every tear the night has borrowed —

You return it with a sunrise,

Proving all You say is true.

You return it with a sunrise,

Proving all You say is true.

---

Every loss and every burden

You are turning into good.

You return it with a sunrise,

Proving all You say is true.

God give me hope and give me strength,

cleanse my heart, renew my faith.

When I’m cold without a fire

and no hope of finding wood,

remind me everything You do

works together for good.
