For My Good

I've had trials and tribulations

Unexpected situations, living here below

I've had friends to turn their backs on me

And leave me stand in the cold

I've been hurt in church

As I attempted to do God's work

By people who called themselves saints

Many times I felt like giving up

But the spirit said Dottie you can't

You know the Lord, He puts you through

A lot of things you can't understand

And for everything He allows there's a reason

So in my life the devil gets no glory

Everywhere I go I tell the story

How God has a way of turning people around here

He meant it for my good

God meant it for my good

He brought me out without a doubt

I knew that he would

Now I know no defeat

I'm strong when I'm weak

God gave me a song now I must sing on

The devil mean it for bad but I'm so glad

God mean it for my good

The gossip, the lies, the tears in my eyes

Have worked out for my good, you know what?

I past the test of time

And like a tree by the water I stood

Because through it all

God gets the glory

Everywhere I'll tell the story

How God worked out things just for me

The devil mean it for bad but I'm so glad

God mean it for my good

Oh, he meant it for my good

God meant it for my good

He brought me out without a doubt

I knew that he would

Now I know no defeat

I'm strong when I'm weak

My God He gave me a song now I must sing on

The devil mean it for bad but I'm so glad

You know He mean it, that's old devil

But God He didn't want it that way

Oh, no, no-no-no-no-no

God mean it for my good, He mean it for my good

God He mean it for my, yes He mean it for my good

I know no defeat

I'm strong when I'm weak

Oh, He mean it, yes He did
