You are a Good, Good God.

 You Are a Good, Good God

You are a good, good God.

Not a distant force,indifferent or unkind,

But a Father whose heart for His children is beautifully,wholly aligned.

Your goodness is not just a trait that You sometimes display,

It is the essence of Your being,the truth of Your way.

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. (Psalm 34:8)

Your goodness is the sunrise that greets me without fail,

Thepromise in the storm that will ultimately prevail.

It is thebread on my table, the peace in my night,

Thehope that keeps me walking when I've lost my sight.

You are good when You give, and You are good when You withhold.

You are good in the summer's warmth and in the winter's cold.

For Your goodness is the wisdom that sees beyond my"now,"

And works a greater story,though I may not see how.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. (Psalm 100:5)

The cross is the boldest declaration this world has ever known:

That You are so good,You would give Your own.

To take the very worst of us and bear it as Your own,

So we could know the best of You,and never be alone.

So I will trust Your heart when I cannot trace Your hand.

I will rest upon this rock,on this truth I'll stand.

You are a good, good God—my song,my story's theme,

From this life into forever,in the reality of the dream.

All my life You have been faithful.

All my life You have been so, so good.

Amen.
