I hope this will help you. 



I've had trials and tribulations 

unexpected situations 

Living here below 

I've had friends to turn their backs on me 

and leave me standing in the cold 

I've been hurt in the church 

as I attempt to do God's work 

by people who call themselves saints 

Many times I felt like giving up 

but the spirit says Dottie you can't 

you know the lord he'll put you through 

a lot of things you can't understand 

but for everything he allows theres a reason 

so in my life the devil gets no glory 

everywhere I go I'll tell the story 

of how God have a way of turning things around 

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 

(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 



The gossip the lies, the tears in my eyes 

have worked out for my good 

i passed the test of time 

like a tree by the water i stood 

but through it all God gets the glory, 

everywhere i'll tell the story 

of how God worked out things just for me 

The devil meant it for bad but i'm so glad 

God meant it for my good. 

(repeat Chorus) 



you know he meant it, that old devil meant it 

but God he didn't want it that way 

no no no no no no no no no 

he meant it for my good, yes he meant it for my good 

God he meant it for my good yes he meant it for my good 

now i know no defeat, i'm strong when i'm weak 

he meant it for my good, yes he meant it for my good 

the devil meant it for bad 

but i'm so glad God meant it for my gooooooooood.
