Dottie Peoples For My Good Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
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 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

[Chorus:]
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 meant it for bad but I'm so glad
God meant it for my good

[Verse 2:]
The gossip, the lies, the tears in my eyes
It worked out for my good
I past the test of time
Like a tree by the water I stood
Because through it all
God gets the glory
Everywhere I go I tell the story;
How God worked out things for me
The devil meant it for bad but I'm so glad
God meant it for my good
