Meaning & Inspiration
“Lord Your Goodness” is a Hillsong Worship song about coming to God with an open heart. The first verse brings “a sacrifice of praise” and says the singer has “seen Your power in the holy place” and “known Your mighty ways,” grounding worship in experience of who God is. The phrase about a sacrifice of praise is close to Hebrews 13:15, which describes praise as an offering to God.
The pre-chorus is a short act of remembering: “I will remember Your mercy and Lord Your faithfulness.” Worship here depends on recalling what God has already done.
The chorus draws on Psalm 23:6, saying God’s goodness and love “will follow me all the days of my life.” The word “follow” suggests a pursuing, attentive presence rather than a distant attribute, and being “surrounded with the favour of the Lord” pictures blessing as something already around the singer. The song presents God’s goodness, love, and favor as a steady reality for every day.
