GOODNESS OF GOD

 

          Some hymns have unusual beginnings.  This one, released in 2019, is no exception.
         Credit for the writing goes to Ed Cash, Ben Fielding, Jason Ingram, Brian Johnson, and Jenn Johnson. But it was really an experience by Johnson that started the process.

          Johnson was inspired by the process of adopting her fourth child.  She had been singing impromptu into her phone while driving on a long country road about the faithfulness and kindness of God. The song was then developed from the impromptu recording.

           The belief in the goodness of God is a cornerstone and foundation for knowing and trusting Him deeply. If His goodness is not our cornerstone, conflict will cause us to question or accuse God.  Have you found this to be your experience?

           Jesus told us we would face trouble, but He promised to walk with us through the fire and carry us. In the middle of a storm, we can have joy and peace as we anchor ourselves in the unchanging goodness of God.

          "I will sing of the goodness and lovingkindness of the LORD forever; With my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness from generation to generation."

          Are you finding that through all your life God has been faithful?  From the moment that you wake each day do you sense his goodness?  Is He close like no other?  Then join in singing of His goodness.  God is so good!

Verse 1

I love You Lord

Oh Your mercy never fails me

All my days

I've been held in Your hands

From the moment that I wake up

Until I lay my head

I will sing of the goodness of God

Chorus

All my life You have been faithful

All my life You have been so, so good

With every breath that I am able

I will sing of the goodness of God

Verse 2

I love Your voice

You have led me through the fire

In darkest nights

You are close like no other

I've known You as a father

I've known You as a friend

I have lived in the goodness of God

Bridge

Your goodness is running after, 

it's running after me

Your goodness is running after, 

it's running after me

With my life laid down, I'm surrendered now,

 I give You everything

Your goodness is running after, 

it's running after me

Listen to it here.   GOODNESS
