Lyrics
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
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
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
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

Meaning & Inspiration
Goodness of God centers on a life shaped by divine mercy, guidance, and faithful care. Its verses move from waking to resting, through fire and darkness, while presenting God as both Father and friend. The recurring confession that God has been faithful turns personal memory into praise. Rather than ignoring hardship, the song places difficult moments within a larger account of sustaining goodness and nearness.
The bridge shifts from remembrance to surrender as the singer lays down every part of life before God. Its image of goodness pursuing the singer closely echoes Psalm 23:6, where goodness and mercy follow throughout life. The chorus also aligns with Psalm 89:1, which joins singing with the proclamation of divine faithfulness. Together, these themes portray worship as a response to mercy already experienced: gratitude gives rise to trust, surrender, and continued praise with every available breath.
