Another Way
Beverly Crawford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things took a turn for the worse
Where is my God in all of this y'all?
Things seemed much better in times past
Then I received a revelation
He won't put o
What I can't bear
It's up to me to believe
God took my whoa
Turned it around
All I can say now
Is wow
Things looked real bad
Thought I would lose
God worked it out y'all
For my good
(For my good, yeah)
How in the world did I get here?
I moved from faith to fear
My heart is hurt
My mind is puzzled
I'm distressed
And right now your boy DJ is troubled
I know there's nothing new under the sun
And everything happens for a reason
Lord, maybe you wanted my attention
Now things are better
I'm happy to mention
God took my whoa
Turned it around
All I can say now
Is wow
Things looked real bad
Thought I would lose
God worked it out y'all
For my good
It's turning around (repeat)
Things looked real bad
Turning from whoa To WOW!
In the first verse of "Another Way," Beverly Crawford expresses disbelief and frustration at the negative events happening in her life. She questions where God is in these difficult times and reflects on how things were better in the past. However, she then receives a revelation that God won't give her more than she can handle, and it is up to her to have faith and believe. This change in perspective leads to a turnaround in her circumstances.
The chorus emphasizes how God takes Beverly's "woes" and turns them around, resulting in her feeling amazed and saying, "Wow." She acknowledges that things appeared really bad and she feared losing, but God intervenes and works everything out for her good. Through this experience, she learns to trust in God's ability to transform difficult situations into blessings.
In the second verse, Beverly reflects on how she ended up in her current state of distress. She realizes that she went from having faith to being consumed by fear. Her heart is hurt, and her mind is filled with confusion and distress. She acknowledges the clichΓ© that there is nothing new under the sun and understands that everything happens for a reason. Perhaps, she interprets that God allowed these challenges to get her attention. However, now things are better, and she happily mentions this positive change.
The chorus is repeated to reinforce the message that God turns things around. Despite facing tough circumstances, Beverly experienced a transformation from feeling overwhelmed and burdened to feeling amazed and excited by the positive outcomes. This change in perspective leads her to exclaim "wow" and celebrate the shift from negative to positive experiences.
Overall, "Another Way" is a song of faith and perseverance. It acknowledges the challenges and distresses faced in life but emphasizes the power of God to bring about positive change and turn difficult situations into blessings. Through her own experiences, Beverly Crawford encourages listeners to hold on to faith and trust that God can bring a turnaround even in the midst of their struggles.
