Everything is serving for the good

Everything is serving for the good


Hier ist der korrigierte Text:

In the night, when the day
is ending, I am thinking of You
Another day I have lived,
blessed by You, my Lord

And when I had
sad moments in this day
everything is working
together for my good

Everything works together for good
for those who love You
Everything works together for good
for those who love You

Sometimes I don't understand
the plans You have for me
Full of impatience
I am tired of waiting for You
But You say in Your word
that Your ways are good
And everything is working
together for my good

You are the rock
and I am built on You
In all circumstances
I am firm and protected by You
Even if sometimes
I meet affliction
everything is working
together for my good

Die wichtigsten Korrekturen:

  • "you"/"your" → "You"/"Your" (durchgehend) – Großschreibung bei Gottesbezug (wie in den vorherigen englischen Liedern konsequent gehandhabt).
  • "blessed of you" → "blessed by You" – "blessed by" ist die korrekte Präposition ("gesegnet von dir"), nicht "blessed of".
  • "Everything is serving for the good to me" → "everything is working together for my good" – Anspielung auf Römer 8,28 ("all things work together for good"); "is serving for the good to me" ist keine idiomatische Konstruktion. Ich habe konsequent die bekannte biblische Formulierung "everything works/is working together for good" verwendet.
  • "Everything is serving to the good / For them who are loving you" → "Everything works together for good / for those who love You" – 1) wie oben die idiomatische Bibelformulierung, 2) "for those who love You" ist die gebräuchliche Wendung (statt "for them who are loving you").
  • "the planes you have for me" → "the plans You have for me" – "planes" (Flugzeuge/Ebenen) → "plans" (Pläne), Tippfehler.
  • "I don t understand" → "I don't understand" – fehlender Apostroph.
  • "Even If sometimes" → "Even if sometimes" – Kleinschreibung von "if" (kein Satzanfang/Eigenname).

Kleiner Hinweis: Ich habe "everything is serving for the good to me" durchgehend zu "everything is working together for my good" bzw. in den Refrainzeilen zu "everything works together for good" vereinheitlicht, da beide Formulierungen im Original leicht unterschiedlich waren (mal "is serving", mal die Refrainform) – jetzt ist der Bezug zu Römer 8,28 klar und einheitlich. Falls du lieber näher am ursprünglichen Wortlaut "is serving for my good" bleiben möchtest (auch wenn es weniger idiomatisch ist), sag gerne Bescheid.
