Don Moen + Lenny LeBlanc - Good is Good All The Time Lyrics
Lyrics
God is good all the time
He put a song of praise
In this heart of mine
God is good all the time
Through the darkest night
His light will shine
(God is good)
God is good all the time
If you're walkin' through the valley
And there are shadows all around
Do not fear He will guide you
He will keep you safe and sound
'Cause He has promised to never leave you
Nor forsake you and His Word is true
We were sinners so unworthy
Still for us He chose to die
Filled us with His Holy Spirit
Now we can stand and testify
That His love is everlasting
And His mercies they will never end
Though I may not understand
All the plans You have for me
My life is in Your hands
And through the eyes of faith
I can clearly see
God is good He's so good
God is good He's so good
God is good He's so good all the time

Meaning & Inspiration
Don Moen's "God is Good All The Time," featuring Lenny LeBlanc, released on January 1, 2021, is a powerful declaration of unwavering faith, resonating with a profound theological truth that anchors believers through every season of life. The song's essence lies in its simple yet profound affirmation of God's goodness, a truth presented not as a conditional response to favorable circumstances, but as an intrinsic attribute of the Almighty. The central message echoes the Psalmist's cry in Psalm 107:1, "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." This enduring goodness is not merely a passive characteristic, but an active force that inspires a "song of praise" within the heart, a testament to the transformative power of encountering God's presence.
The lyrics beautifully articulate the theological bedrock of this assertion, moving beyond mere sentiment to ground the listener in scriptural certainty. When the song speaks of walking "through the valley" with "shadows all around," it conjures imagery that directly aligns with passages like Psalm 23:4, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." The assurance that God "will guide you" and "keep you safe and sound" is not a flimsy promise but a divine covenant, underscored by the powerful declaration, "He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you and His Word is true." This brings to mind the unwavering promises found in Hebrews 13:5 and Deuteronomy 31:6, highlighting the immutability of God's character and commitment. The song then shifts to the redemptive narrative, acknowledging our unworthiness as "sinners so unworthy" and celebrating the ultimate sacrifice made for us, "Still for us He chose to die." This profound truth finds its ultimate expression in John 3:16 and Romans 5:8, reminding us that "while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which empowers believers to "stand and testify," is the fruit of this redemptive act, filling us with the assurance of God's everlasting love and unending mercies. This speaks to the transformative power of the Spirit as described in passages like Acts 1:8 and Titus 3:5. Even when faced with personal confusion or unanswered questions, the song encourages a posture of surrendered trust, asserting, "Though I may not understand all the plans You have for me, my life is in Your hands." This profound acceptance of divine sovereignty is a hallmark of true faith, mirroring the humility found in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Ultimately, "God is Good All The Time" is more than just a song; it's a robust theological statement set to music, designed to fortify faith and awaken the soul to the ceaseless, unfailing goodness of God, a truth that sustains and upholds every believer, in every circumstance.
