Has He been good to you

Given all things to you

I will sing out your praise
You have been so good, been so good
Oh I’m still amazed, by your mercy and grace
You have been so good, been so good to me

I won’t forget all your promises to me
Your word remains and you never change

Meaning & Inspiration
Been So Good is a call-and-response song of thanksgiving for God's goodness. The opening asks whether God has been good, with the answer Yes He has, and notes that He has given all things and has been there even in moments of doubt. The chorus promises to sing His praise for all the singer's days and says that the singer is still amazed by His mercy and grace, because He has been so good.
The second verse asks whether He is champion and the Alpha and the Omega, the Great I Am, answering Yes He is, and the bridge says the singer will not forget His faithfulness, His promises, the unchanging word or His constant goodness. The themes follow Psalm 34:8, Psalm 103:2, Revelation 22:13 and Exodus 3:14, with Hebrews 13:8. The question-and-answer opening invites a congregation to respond aloud, and the tone is joyful and reflective.
