Lyrics
Verse 1
You meet me on the mountain top
You see in me in the valley low
There is no home without You here
Verse 2
And I find You in the crowded thoughts
You quiet all the question marks
There is no space Your love won't fill
Pre-Chorus
And I'll trade all my fear for peace of mind
All my heaviness for burdens light
Chorus
And this will be my song
That You are always good
I'll sing it all day long
That You are always good
And when the day is through
I am left with You are always
You are always good
Verse 3
And I'll set my eyes on perfect faith
You'll finish what You start in me
And my heart will be an offering
Pre-Chorus
And I'll trade all my fear for peace of mind
All my heaviness for burdens light
Chorus
And this will be my song
That You are always good
I'll sing it all day long
You are always good
And when the day is through
I am left with You are always
You are always

I've traded all my fear for peace of mind
And You took heaviness, my burden's light

And when the day is through
I am left with You are always

Meaning & Inspiration
Always Good is a worship song built around one plain declaration, repeated until it becomes a habit of speech: "That You are always good." The verses place God in both high and low places, on "the mountain top" and in "the valley low," and in the middle of crowded thoughts, where He is said to quiet the questions.
The pre-chorus describes an exchange of fear for "peace of mind" and heaviness for "burdens light," which echoes the invitation in Matthew 11 to bring weariness to Christ. The third verse looks ahead with the line "You'll finish what You start in me," a thought that parallels Philippians 1:6.
The bridge turns the song around, picturing every melody as something sung back to the worshiper, and the outro repeats "You're always good" many times. That repetition suits congregational singing, since the central claim is short enough for anyone to carry from the service into ordinary days.
