Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

There is strength within the sorrow, 

There is beauty in our tears

You meet us in our mourning, 

With a love that casts out fear

You are working in our waiting, 

Sanctifying us

When beyond our understanding, 

You're teaching us to trust


CHORUS

Your plans are still to prosper, 

You have not forgotten us

You're with us in the fire and the flood

Faithful forever, Perfect in love

You are sovereign over us


You are wisdom unimagined, 

Who could understand your ways

Reigning high above the heavens, 

Reaching down in endless grace

You?re the Lifter of the lowly, 

Compassionate and kind

You surround and You uphold me, 

Your promises are my delight


Even what the enemy means for evil

You turn it for our good, 

You turn it for our good and for your glory

Even in the valley You are faithful

You?re working for our good, 

You?re working for our good and for your glory
