Lyrics

Verse 1 (Repeat x2)


O taste and see that the Lord is good
O taste and see that the Lord is good to me
You have turned my mourning into dancing
Put off my rags and clothed me with gladness
And I will arise and I will praise You
I'll sing and not be silent


Chorus (Repeat x2)


O Lord, my God, I will give thanks to You forever
O Lord, my God, I will give thanks to You


Chorus (Repeat, extended)


O Lord, my God, I will give thanks to You forever
O Lord, my God, I will give thanks to You, forever!
My God, I will give thanks to You forever
O Lord, my God, I will give thanks to You, forever!


Bridge


I will live only for You
I will lift these hands up to You
I will dance before You
I will shout it, I will shout it to You!


Chorus (Repeat, extended)


O Lord, my God, I will give thanks to You forever
O Lord, my God, I will give thanks to You
O Lord, my God, I will give thanks to You forever
O Lord, my God, I will give thanks to You, forever! (Yeah-eh!)

Meaning & Inspiration

"O Taste and See" opens by borrowing a well-known invitation nearly word for word, tasting and seeing that the Lord is good, before naming a specific personal reversal, mourning turned into dancing, rags exchanged for gladness. That movement from invitation to testimony grounds the song's praise in a described, personal transformation rather than abstract instruction alone.

Its chorus repeats a vow of continual thanksgiving, naming God directly and promising gratitude extended forever rather than for a single occasion. A bridge turns that vow into physical action, lifting hands, dancing, shouting, treating bodily expression as the natural outworking of declared devotion.

Rooted in contemporary children's worship tradition, the song functions as a joyful, repeated declaration of gratitude modeled on a well-known psalm, its structure moving from invitation through personal testimony to active, physical praise as the fitting response to mourning already turned to dancing.
