Lyrics
I want to scream it out
From every mountain top
Your goodness knows no bounds
Your goodness never stops
Your mercy follows me
Your kindness fills my life
Your love amazes me
I sing because You are good
And I dance because You are good
And I shout because You are good
You are good to me, to me
Nothing and no one comes
Anywhere close to You
The earth and oceans deep
Only reflect this truth
And in my darkest night
You shine as bright as day
Your love amazes me
With a cry of praise my heart will proclaim
You are good, You are good
In the Sun or rain my life celebrates
You are good, You are good
With a cry of praise my heart will proclaim
You are good, You are good
In the Sun or rain my life celebrates
You are good, You are good

Meaning & Inspiration
The song is built as an open celebration of God’s goodness. Mountains, earth, and oceans provide a scale large enough for the singer’s praise, yet the lyric also names intimate signs of care: mercy that follows, kindness that fills life, and love that brings amazement. Singing, dancing, and shouting become parallel responses to a goodness portrayed as constant and without boundary.
The contrast between darkest night and light as bright as day gives the praise emotional weight. Celebration is not limited to favorable conditions; the heart proclaims God’s goodness in sun or rain. Psalm 145:9 closely matches the declaration that the Lord is good, while Psalm 23:6 supports the image of mercy following throughout life. The repeated chorus turns these convictions into communal worship language without depending on a detailed narrative. Its focus remains direct and consistent: creation reflects divine goodness, difficult circumstances cannot extinguish it, and praise is the fitting response to mercy, kindness, and love.
