Works for Good
Parody of "Hurts So Good" performed by John Cougar and written by John Mellencamp & George Green
(Romans 8:28, Proverbs 3:5-6, Isaiah 55:8-9, Philippians 4:6-7, Genesis 50:20)

When I was a young boy
Said, "Put your faith in God, come what may"
Now that I'm gettin' old and somewhat bolder
I long for more gung-ho faith
With a bird's-eye view
When your world falls through
The Lord knows there are things He can do, baby
To bless me and you
He's gonna make it all

Work for good
C'mon, babe, He'll make it work for good
Sometimes life don't seem like it should
He'll make it — work for good

The Lord has some things coincidin'
Just kinda hidden, so you didn't see them comin'
Ya won't look for silver linings
Ya ain't just grievin'; you are numb
Hey, baby, it's true (huh)
I'm more sure now than you
Link your faith right to my own, baby
Let's see what He can do
Calm down; He'll make it all

Work for good
C'mon, babe, He'll make it work for good
Sometimes life don't seem like it could
He'll make it — all work for good

I ain't droppin' no big spiel
God makes faithful plans, my friend
I hate talkin' 'bout raw deals
Baby, we should talk about all He's done
Talk about all He's done
Huh

It works for good
C'mon, babe, He'll make it work for good
Sometimes life don't seem like it would
He'll make it — all work for good

It works for good — c'mon, baby now
Romans 8:28 — it works for good
Sometimes life don't seem like it should
He'll make it — work for good
Uh huh!

Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
