Chorus
He is so good to me
He is so good to me
When I am down he comforts me
He is so good to me
Verse 1
When life darkness starts closing in
I meet in secret with my special friend
He talks to me and calmness begins
He is so good to me
He is so good to me
He is so good to me
When I am down he comforts me
He is so good to me
Verse 2
Each days burdens may touch my soul
But I meet with him and He makes me whole
My troubles gone and rest on the sea
He is so good to me
He is so good to me
He is so good to me
When I am down he comforts me
He is so good to me
He is so good to me
He is so good to me
When I am down he comforts me
He is so good to me
He is so good to me
He is so good to me
When I am down he comforts me
He is so good to me

Meaning & Inspiration
He's So Good To Me is a short song of personal testimony about finding comfort in time with the Lord. The repeated line "He is so good to me" opens the song and returns after each section, followed by "When I am down he comforts me."
The verses describe the darkness of life closing in, and the singer's practice of meeting in secret with a special friend, who speaks and brings calmness. In the second verse the burdens of each day touch the soul, but meeting with Him makes the singer whole and leaves troubles gone, with rest on the sea. The picture of private prayer matches Matthew 6:6, the comfort in sorrow echoes Psalm 34:18 and 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, and the peace after prayer fits Philippians 4:6-7. Gentle and plainspoken, the song relies on its chorus to carry the thought, and it works as a simple expression of thanks rooted in everyday experience.
