Lyrics
Aye, check, check, check
Yeah, yeah, woah, woah
If there's one thing I know, aye, yeah
God is good, all the time
If he ain't then you lying
In the rain, in the shine
God is good all the time
God is good (Aye) all the time (Woah)
If he ain't (Aye) then you lying (Woah)
In the rain (Aye), in the shine (Woah)
God is good all the time (Uh, okay)
Some days be the best (Some days be the best)
Some days be the worst (Some days be the worst)
Some days stay on replay (Top tier)
Other days they don't
Oh well (Oh well), okay (Okay)
Guess what? You woke up today (Today)
Put a big smile on your face (Your face)
'Cause one thing ain't never gonna change
God is good (God is good), all the time (All the time)
If he ain't (If he ain't) then you lying
In the rain (In the rain), in the shine (In the shine)
God is good all the time
God is good (Aye) all the time (Woah)
If he ain't (Aye) then you lying (Woah)
In the rain (Aye), in the shine (Woah)

It ain't one thing he can't do
Took my old ways got me feeling brand new (Ooo)
Ayo, Caleb make sure that it's (What?) understood
Okay Forrest, I'mma tell 'em how he been too good
Popped up that grave, like I popped up that hood
Popped off that chain, when I popped off that bull
Say that one name, watch a demon get shook
Hopped out that pot and we let him cook
Lucy need to chill cause he don't run this, my dog
You can see we living in abundance, my dog
Dodge from the stake had to punt it, my dog (Had to punt it, my dog)
God is good, god is great, thank you for this plate (Amen)
Praise the lord, take myself to the heaven gates
10k I would do the race, like I caught a case
When I ain't got nothing left you a call away
God is good (God is good), all the time (All the time)
If he ain't (If he ain't) then you lying
In the rain (In the rain), in the shine (In the shine)
God is good all the time
God is good (Aye) all the time (Woah)
If he ain't (Aye) then you lying (Woah)
In the rain (Aye), in the shine (Woah)
God is good all the time

If God is for me, who can be against
If God is for me, who can be against
If God is for me, who can be against
If God is for me, who can be against
If God is for me, who can be against
If God is for me, who can be against
If God is for me (God is good, all the time), who can be against (If he ain't then you lying)
If God is for me (In the rain, in the shine), who can be
God is good all the time

Meaning & Inspiration
Forrest Frank's "God Is Good," featured on his 2024 EP *ALL THE TIME*, arrives as a powerful affirmation of unwavering faith, even amidst life's inevitable fluctuations. The song's central tenet is proclaimed with resolute conviction: "God is good, all the time." This is not merely a hopeful sentiment but a foundational truth that Frank presents as a bedrock of understanding, challenging any who might disagree with a bold, "If he ain't then you lying." The narrative artfully contrasts the spectrum of human experience, acknowledging that "Some days be the best" while others are "the worst." Yet, regardless of the emotional or circumstantial landscape – "In the rain, in the shine" – the presence of divine goodness remains constant. This persistent goodness is directly linked to the simple, profound miracle of waking each day, a blessing Frank reminds us to embrace with joy.
The lyrical journey then deepens, moving beyond general affirmation to a personal testimony of God's transformative power. Frank speaks of shedding "old ways" and being made "brand new," a testament to the redemptive work that mirrors the biblical narrative of spiritual renewal. The imagery of a resurrection, referencing Christ rising from the grave, is powerfully evoked, symbolizing the profound change and liberation experienced through faith. This liberation is further illustrated by overcoming struggles, depicted through the vivid metaphors of shedding chains and confronting adversity, echoing passages like Philippians 4:13, which states, "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." The song’s exploration of spiritual warfare, with the antagonist needing to "chill cause he don't run this," brings to mind verses like Ephesians 6:12, reminding believers that their struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces. The acknowledgment of "abundance" and expressing gratitude for basic necessities like "this plate" aligns with the biblical emphasis on thankfulness and contentment, as encouraged in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." The closing refrains, particularly the repeated declaration, "If God is for me, who can be against," draws directly from Romans 8:31, a cornerstone verse that solidifies the believer's confidence in divine protection and support. "God Is Good" is more than a song; it's a declaration of enduring hope and a testament to the unshakeable truth that in every season of life, God's goodness prevails.
