Bethel Music - Goodness Of God Lyrics
Lyrics
I love You, Lord
For 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
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
Cause all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
And in darkest night You are close like no other
I've known You as a Father
I've known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God, yeah
And all my life You have been faithful, ohh
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God, yeah
'Cause 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
'Cause Your goodness is running after, it's running after me, oh-ohh
'Cause 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
'Cause Your goodness is running after, it keeps running after me
And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God
I'm gonna sing, I'm gonna sing
'Cause all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God
Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God

Goodness Of God (LIVE) - Jenn Johnson | VICTORY
Meaning & Inspiration
Bethel Music’s rendition of “Goodness Of God,” featuring Jenn Johnson, released on January 4, 2019, as part of their album *VICTORY (LIVE)*, stands as a profound testament to unwavering faith and divine faithfulness. The song's narrative, deeply rooted in personal testimony and communal worship, centers on the overwhelming goodness of God, even in the face of adversity. This powerful anthem is a modern echo of ancient psalms, specifically drawing parallels with the psalmist's declaration in Psalm 27:13, "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!" The lyrical journey of “Goodness Of God” traces a path from acknowledging past struggles and moments of doubt to recognizing the consistent, ever-present benevolent hand of the Creator. It’s an invitation to reflect on God's steadfast love, which the Apostle Paul describes in Romans 8:38-39 as being stronger than any earthly power or circumstance, stating that nothing can separate us from it. The music itself, with its build from a quiet intimacy to a soaring, communal declaration, effectively mirrors this spiritual progression, drawing the listener into a space of deep contemplation and heartfelt praise. The song masterfully articulates the biblical concept of God’s covenant faithfulness, His promises that endure through generations, much like what is celebrated in Psalm 100:5: “For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His faithfulness endures to all generations.” Through its simple yet profound message, “Goodness Of God” encourages a shift in perspective, urging believers to fix their eyes on the eternal, remembering that “every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights” (James 1:17). This song serves not just as a musical piece, but as a spiritual anchor, a reminder that even when the world feels uncertain, the core truth of God's unyielding goodness remains the bedrock of our hope and the source of our strength.
