Oh, oh, oh [x8]
[Verse: x2]
I came to tell you it was for my good
All of those times that I was misunderstood
Every affliction,
Those situations
They brought me closer to God
Although sometimes I had to cry
He wiped every tear from eye
It was good
For my good
[Vamp: x3]
My troubles
My trials
Only made me strong
My troubles
My trials
Only made me strong
It was good
For my good
[Tenors:]
Though he slay me
Yet will I trust him
I realized that it was for my good
[Altos:]
Though he slay me
Yet will I trust him
I realized that it was for my good
[Sopranos:]
Though he slay me
Yet will I trust him
I realized that it was for my good
For my good [x2]
Though he slay me
Yet will I trust him
I realized that it was for my good
For my Good!
