Lyrics
Get up get out
Speak up reach out
Go tell the world about His love
So every ear will hear
And every eye will see
One generation to the next
Will praise His name and will declare
You are mighty above all
My God
I don't wanna just sit around
And be another face in the crowd
I'll answer when You call my name
Won't hide this freedom that I have found
Jesus
Everyday I'm gonna stand for You
And boldly say
I'm gonna live this life
And go Your way
'Cause You called me
You are God
And You are good
This is our time in history
To lead the way for all to see
Standing together joining in unity
Across the lands and over seas
Maybe a short walk down the street
We'll tell them You're mighty above all
My God
You are God
And You are good

Meaning & Inspiration
“You Are Good” presents Christian witness as an active response to God’s goodness. Its opening commands move from speaking up to reaching out, with the aim that every ear may hear and every eye may see. The line about one generation declaring God’s name to the next closely reflects the biblical pattern of passing praise and testimony onward. Rather than treating faith as private, the song connects freedom in Christ with courage, obedience, and visible allegiance.
The second half broadens that calling from nearby streets to distant lands. Unity is not described as an end in itself, but as shared participation in telling others that God is mighty above all. The recurring confession that God is good gives the song its foundation: action follows worship, and mission follows gratitude. With language suited to young singers, the song holds together personal commitment, communal witness, and the Great Commission without making discipleship sound passive.
