Chorus

Behind every single thing God does in you,

Satan is trying to make a wager with God.

Behind the work God does in you is a battle.

Whenever something happens to you in life,

that is the crucial time when God needs you

to stand firm in your testimony to Him.

Verse 1

Though nothing major has befallen you yet,

and you have not yet borne great testimony,

every single thing you do,

no matter how small,

it all relates to the testimony to God.

If you can win the esteem of those around you,

only then will you have borne testimony.

Pre-chorus 1

If one day the unbelievers come,

and admire everything you do,

and see that all God does is great,

then you will have borne testimony.

Chorus

Behind every single thing God does in you,

Satan is trying to make a wager with God.

Behind the work God does in you is a battle.

Whenever something happens to you in life,

that is the crucial time when God needs you

to stand firm in your testimony to Him.

Verse 2

Though you have no insight and your caliber is poor,

through God’s perfection of you,

you can find ways to satisfy Him

and be mindful of His will.

Others see His great work in these of poor caliber.

People come to know God

and stand before Satan as overcomers, loyal to God alone.

Pre-chorus 2

And no others throughout the world

will have more backbone than them,

than this group of overcomers.

This is the greatest testimony.

Chorus

Behind every single thing God does in you,

Satan is trying to make a wager with God.

Behind the work God does in you is a battle.

Whenever something happens to you in life,

that is the crucial time when God needs you

to stand firm in your testimony to Him.

Verse 3

Although you are not able to do great work,

you are capable of satisfying God.

You can let go of your notions,

while others can’t;

others can’t bear witness to God, but you can,

and you can repay God’s love with your real actions.

Only this counts as actually loving God.

Chorus

Behind every single thing God does in you,

Satan is trying to make a wager with God.

Behind the work God does in you is a battle.

Whenever something happens to you in life,

that is the crucial time when God needs you

to stand firm in your testimony to Him.
