Song Meaning
Riley Clemmons builds the whole chorus around Romans 8:28's promise, restated plainly: "for the good, for the good, You work all things together... for the good of those who love You." The verse's full claim — "all things work together for good for those who love God" — survives almost entirely intact in the song's own structure.
"Who else could part the waters when I'm needing a way? Though I'm walking through the valley, I'll believe when You say" pairs Red Sea imagery with Jeremiah 29:11's promise of "a future and a hope" given even to a people in exile. "I know You're working, I know You're working" keeps the confidence present-tense rather than only retrospective — not a claim made after the fact, but trust extended while the outcome is still unknown.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Who can bend my burdens
And make them beautiful?
Who can bring the healing
To the hurt I hold?
Who else could part the waters
When I'm needing a way?
Though I'm walking through the valley
I'll believe when You say
I'll believe when You say
For the good, for the good
You work all things together
For the good, for the good
Your promise stands forever
You alone are my greatest hope
I trust You on the broken road
You work all things together like only You could
For the good
Lord, Your ways are higher
You know Your plans for me
You give purpose and a future
Even when I can't see
So, I will pray through every heartache
I will cling to this faith
Though I'm walking through the valley
I'll believe when You say
I'll believe when You say
For the good, for the good
You work all things together
For the good, for the good
Your promise stands forever
You alone are my greatest hope
I trust You on the broken road
You work all things together like only You could
For the good
Of those who love You, those who love You
For the good
Of those who love You, those who love You
I know You're working, I know You're working
I believe, I believe
Good things are coming, good things are coming
I believe, I believe
For the good, for the good
You work all things together
For the good, for the good
Your promise stands forever
You alone are my greatest hope
I trust You on the broken road
You work all things together like only You could
For the good
Of those who love You, those who love You
For the good
Of those who love You, those who love You
I know You're working, I know You're working
I believe, I believe
Good things are coming, good things are coming
I believe, I believe
I know You're working, I know You're working
I believe, I believe
Good things are coming, good things are coming
I believe, I believe
