[Verse 1]
Beneath every doubt, there's redemption
Beyond what we see, He's at work
Before we believe, He hurts when we're hurting
He works in mysterious ways
[Verse 2]
Above all the chaos, there's order
After the fire He restores
At the end of the pain, His promise remains
He works in mysterious ways
[Chorus]
So blessed are the poor and the powerless
All the weak and wounded made whole again
And even what the enemy has tried to use against me
God will use it for my good and for His Glory
[Post-Chorus]
Sometimes He works, in reverse
He works, in reverse
He works, in reverse
He works, in reverse
[Verse 3]
What looks like the end, is the beginning
His kingdom's not of this world
When we surrender, that's when He takes over
He works in mysterious ways
[Chorus]
So blessed are the poor and the powerless
All the weak and wounded made whole again
And even what the enemy has tried to use against me
God will use it for my good and for His Glory
[Post-Chorus]
Sometimes He works, in reverse
He works, in reverse
He works, in reverse
He works, in reverse
[Bridge]
And when it looks like it's over
He's just getting started
It's just the beginning
[Chorus]
So blessed are the poor and the powerless
All the weak and wounded made whole again
And even what the enemy has tried to use against me
God will use it for my good and for His Glory
[Outro]
Sometimes He works, in reverse
He works, in reverse
He works, in reverse
Sometimes He works, in reverse ...
