Kari Jobe - You Are Good Lyrics

“You Are Good” connects praise with the character of God. Kindness leads toward repentance, goodness draws the worshipper near, mercy shapes a desire for godly likeness, and favor becomes a source of delight. These lines present worship as more than admiration: the goodness being celebrated produces a changed response. Daily praise then becomes the fitting answer, pictured as a song poured from the heart.

The chorus concentrates that response into a repeated confession that God is good and his mercy endures forever. This language closely echoes the recurring biblical refrain found throughout Psalm 136. The opening line also reflects Paul’s teaching that God’s kindness leads to repentance, giving the song a clear scriptural connection between grace and transformation. In the final section, kindness, goodness, and mercy are each declared everlasting. Repetition reinforces the permanence of those attributes, making the song a steady affirmation that God’s gracious character remains the foundation for repentance, worship, and praise.
