Verse: Em C D G 

Em                             C 
There is strength within the sorrow  
D                        G 
There is Beauty in our tears  
Em                         C 
And you meet us in our mourning  
D                          G 
With a love that cast out fears. 
Em                         C 
You are working in our waiting  
D           G 
Sanctifying us  
Em                        C 
And beyond our understanding  
D                      G 
Your teaching us to trust  

 
C                          G 
Your plans are still to prosper  
D                     Em 
You have not forgotten us 
C                      G              D  
You're with us in the fire and the flood  
       C             G 
You're Faithful forever 
D            Em  
Perfect in love  

        C          D   G 
You are Sovereign Over us 



Verse 2: Em C D G 

Em                 C 
You are wisdom unimagined, 
D                         G  
Who could understand your ways  
Em                        C 
Reigning high above the heavens, 
D                         G  
 Reaching down in endless grace  

Em                        C 
Youʼre the Lifter of the lowly,  
D                 G 
Compassionate and kind  
Em                          C 
You surround and You uphold me,  
D                     G 
And your promises are my delight 

Chorus

Bridge: G C Am D 

G                             C 
Even what the enemy means for evil 
                    Am 
You turn it for our good  
                    D 
You Turn it for our good  
and for your glory  

G                           C 
Even in the valley you are faithful  
                       Am 
You're working for our good 
                        D  
You're working for our good  
and for your glory
