Beverly Crawford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Lord has done for me
(Marvelous in my eyes)
How He took my sin-sick soul
And made my life anew
(Marvelous in my eyes)
The Lord has kept me
From dangers seen & unseen
He gave me the victory
Concerning all these things
(Marvelous in my eyes)
(It's the Lord's doing)
And it is his perfect will
(It's the Lord's doing)
Only if I go through & be still
(It's the Lord's doing)
(Doing & it is simply marvelous
In my eyes)
What the Devil meant for bad
God used it to bless me
He even made footstools
Out of my enemies
He fought every battle
And every victory He's won
Oh what a mighty God
Yes, You are the One
It's marvelous
Marvelous
It's marvelous
It's the Lord's doing
Yeah! (3x)
It's the Lord's doing
