The lyrics of this song are a testimony of the transformation that occurs when one encounters God. The first line, "I was good for nothing" portrays a sense of worthlessness and lack of purpose in life. However, the next line "until you came my way" speaks of a divine intervention in the singer's life, which brought about a complete turnaround. The singer acknowledges that all his efforts prior to this encounter with God were futile and that only God could give him true purpose and meaning in life.

The following line, "whatever I did never amounted to something" illustrates the frustration and emptiness the singer experienced before encountering God. But, it was God who turned his life around and helped him to realize his full potential. The final line, "you took away all the disappointments and made me whole again" is a testament to the healing and restorative power of God, who transforms and makes new again.
