My shelter in the time of storm
You're my refuge from the rain
My comfort when the weight's too hard to bear
You take away the pain
Many times I, Lord, I just don't understand
But I know You have a plan
Every tear (it's working), the pain and fear (it's working)
It's working for my good (it's working for my good)
Though I cannot see (Though I cannot see)
Oh (You'll work it out for me)
It's working for my good
My life is in Your hand, trusting in Your plan
It's working for my good
Sometimes I get distracted by what I see, o Lord
But I'm reminded of the promises You spoke over me
Every tear (it's working), every fear (it's working)
It's working for my good (it's working for my good)
Though I cannot see (Though I cannot see)
You have a plan for me (You'll work it out for me)
It's working for my good
My life is in Your hand and I'm trusting in Your plan
It's working for my good
All things work together,
All the good, the bad, it's working for my good
Though I cannot see
You'll work it out for me
Oh it's working for my good
Though I cannot see (Though I cannot see)
You have a plan for me (You'll work it out for me)
