Hillsong Worship - Lord Your Goodness Lyrics

"Lord Your Goodness" is a worship song from Hillsong Worship's 1998 live album Touching Heaven, Changing Earth. The lyrics center on approaching God with an open heart and offering a sacrifice of praise—a phrase that recalls the biblical idea that praise is not always easy, yet it remains an intentional gift. The singer testifies to having seen God’s power in the holy place and known His mighty ways, grounding the worship in experience rather than theory.

The pre-chorus turns to remembering God’s mercy and faithfulness, suggesting that worship relies on recalling what God has already done. The chorus draws directly from Psalm 23:6, declaring that God’s goodness and love will follow the worshiper all the days of life. The word “follow” here implies a pursuing, attentive presence rather than a distant attribute. Being “surrounded with the favour of the Lord” paints an image of divine blessing as an encompassing reality, not a future hope. The song presents God’s character—goodness, love, favor—as the steady reality that shapes every day.
