What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
He thought he stole it from me
Now it’s become my testimony
He thought he stole it from me
It’s become my—
What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
What the devil meant for bad, God meant for good
He thought he stole it from me
Now it’s become my testimony
He thought he stole it from me
Now it’s become my testimony
All my sorrows turned to dancing
All my pain turned into joy
And all my tears turned into laughter
And all my fear turned to a roar
So praise the Lord
Mmh, praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
I can’t explain it but
That’s just what His love does
Now it’s become my testimony
That’s just what His love does
He thought he stole it from me
Praise the Lord
That’s just what His love does
He thought he stole it from me
That’s just what His love does
