"Mysterious Ways"
(from "The Color Purple" soundtrack)

It's Sunday morning
So make a joyful noise
Unto the Lord

When the King threw Daniel in the lion's den
The good Lord works in mysterious ways
God sent a mighty angel, brought him out again
The good Lord works, in mysterious ways
When God saw the wicked, He knew what to do
Said, Noah, bring the animals two by two (Ooh)
'Cause I'm gonna keep your boat afloat for forty days, yeah, yeah
The good Lord works in mysterious ways

Yes, He works (My Lord, He works), oh, He works
The good Lord works in mysterious ways
Oh, ooh (My Lord, He works), the good Lord work

Don't waste your time tryin' to wrassle with your worldly woe
The good Lord works in mysterious ways (Woo!)
'Cause God watchin' over you wherever you go
The good Lord works, in mysterious ways
If your poor back breakin' under all that weight
St. Peter's gonna lift it at the pearly gate
Let the spirit walk beside you on your darkest days
'Cause the good lord works in mysterious ways (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Yes, He works (My Lord, He works), oh, He works
The good Lord works in mysterious ways
Yes, He works (My Lord, He works), yeah
The good Lord works in mysterious ways

Ooh (Ooh)
Ooh (Ooh)
Ooh (Ooh)
Aah (Aah)
Ooh (Ooh)
Ooh (Ooh)
('Cause He works) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(He still works) Yes, my God still works
My God still works in mysterious way-ayy-ayy

None of us knows what the Lord's got planned for us, no, sir
So stop your moanin', quit your groanin'
Throw away your handkerchief, and put your hand in His
And follow where He leads
The good Lord is walkin' with ya (Walkin' with ya)
The good Lord is talkin' with ya (Talkin' with ya)
The Lord is singin' with ya
Yeah, He's talkin' with ya (Talkin' with ya)
Ooh, the Lord is, ooh, the Lord is
Talkin', talkin'
Ooh, the Lord is, ooh, the Lord is
Talkin', talkin'
Keep walkin', keep talkin', keep singin', keep shoutin'
Keep walkin', keep talkin', keep singin', keep shoutin'
Walkin', talkin', singin', shoutin'
Walkin', talkin', singin', shoutin'
Walkin', talkin', singin', shoutin'
Walkin', talkin', singin', shoutin'
Because the good Lord works in mysterious (Yeah, yeah)
In mysterious ways, oh, yes, oh, yes
Bless your neighbor, bless a friend
Oh, yeah, good Lord workin'
Oh, yeah, yeah
