Mysterious Ways Song Lyrics
[Intro: Tamela Mann]
It's Sunday morning
So make a joyful noise
Unto the Lord
[Verse 1: Tamela Mann]
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
[Chorus: Tamela Mann]
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
[Verse 2: Tamela Mann]
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 whеrever you go
The good Lord works, in mystеrious 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)
[Chorus: Tamela Mann]
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
[Bridge: Tamela Mann]
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
[Outro: David Alan Grier]
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

"Mysterious Ways" by Tamela Mann is a vibrant and upkifting gospel song that celebrates the unpredictable and often incomprehensible nature of God's actions and plans. The song weaves together biblical narratives and everyday experiences to illustrate how God's workings, while mysterious, are always for the greater good.
The song begins with a reference to the story of Daniel in the kion's den, highlighting a classic example of divine intervention where Daniel's faith in God saves him from certain death. This story sets the stage for the song's central theme: God operates in ways that humans cannot always understand or predict, but His actions are always purposeful and for the benefit of His people.
The mention of Noah and the ark reinforces this theme. Here, God's instruction to Noah to build an ark and gather the animals is another instance of divine guidance that may not have made sense at the time but ultimately led to salvation. This narrative underlines the song's message that faith in God's plan, even when it seems illogical or challenging, is essential.
The chorus, with its repeated affirmation "The good Lord works in mysterious ways," serves as a joyous and comforting reminder that God is always at work, even in situations that seem insurmountable or baffling. The song encourages listeners not to dwell on their worldly woes but to trust in God's omnipresence and benevolence.
The bridge and outro, with their exhortative and communal tone, invite the listener to embrace faith, discard despair, and join in a communal celebration of God's mysterious ways. It suggests that through faith, prayer, and singing, one can connect more deeply with God's plans and find peace in the knowledge that He is always guiding and supporting His followers.
Overall, "Mysterious Ways" is a song of faith and trust in God's plan. It blends biblical stories with a message of hope and encouragement, urging listeners to see beyond their immediate struggles and trust in the divine plan that unfolds in mysterious, yet purposeful, ways.
