Lyrics
I will sing of your goodness
I will sing of your love
Though the seasons come quickly
You have always been enough
Though the night may get darker
Though the waiting seems long
You have always been faithful
To remind me of your love
You are good
In the morning I’ll sing
You are good
In the evening I’ll sing
You are good
You are good to me
You have always been patient
You have always been kind
You’re consistent through the ages
Oh what a friend of mine.
So I’ll remind my soul to bless you
Standing firm upon your truth
Knowing you cannot be shaken
‘Cause I’ve seen what you can do
You keep on getting better
You keep on getting better

Meaning & Inspiration
“You Keep On Getting Better” is a song of praise rooted in the steady goodness of God. The first verse places that confession alongside changing circumstances: time passes, nights grow darker, and waiting feels long, yet divine faithfulness remains enough. Morning and evening become occasions to sing the same truth, giving the chorus the rhythm of a daily practice rather than a response limited to easy moments.
The second verse expands the portrait with patience, kindness, consistency, and friendship. Instead of allowing difficulty to define God’s character, the singer calls the soul to remember what has already been seen and to stand on truth that cannot be shaken. The title phrase does not suggest that God’s nature improves; within the lyric, it expresses an increasing awareness of goodness experienced over time. This theme closely echoes biblical calls to declare God’s lovingkindness morning and night, to bless the Lord, and to trust his enduring faithfulness. The repetition makes gratitude the song’s central act and God’s unchanging goodness its foundation.
