Verse 1:
The Lord is watching over you;
You're always in His care.
There's nothing you are facing now
Of which God is unaware.
He knows the future like the past;
He knows each circumstance.
God foreordains your every woe,
So there's nothing left to chance.

Chorus:
For I believe that in all things God is working,
Conforming us to the image of His Son,
That Christ might be the firstborn of many brothers.
Progressively, God will make us like His Son.

Verse 2:
Foreknown, predestined, we are called,
The called are justified,
And those whom God has justified,
He has also glorified.
What can we say, then, to these things,
For our support is God?
Those who accuse us shall not stand,
Since we're justified by God.

Verse 3:
God did not spare His only Son,
But gave Him for us all.
Then, surely God will undertake,
To make sure we never fall.
Moreover, Jesus knows our needs,
He knows our grief and pain.
He's interceding for us now;
All we need we shall obtain.

Verse 4:
So what can separate us from
The love we have in Christ?
Shall tribulation or distress,
Any enemy's device?
Though some of us are put to death,
And some of us are shamed,
We still are more than conquerors;
By God's love we are sustained.

Final Chorus:
For I believe that in all things God is working,
Conforming us to the image of His Son,
That Christ might be the firstborn of many brothers.
Progressively, God will make us like His Son.
Yes, I believe God makes all things work together.
It's all for good; we shall see when God is done.
It will be worth every illness, every sorrow,
To be conformed to the image of His Son.
