Lyrics
Verse 1
There’s a lot of talk goin’ ‘round town
I hear a lot of people running their mouths Every word like an anchor just bringing them
Down, down, down
We’ve all been looking for a silver lining Something to hold on to when hopes been hiding
I know a place where you can go
If you wanna find it
Chorus
This is the good news
If you’re breathing, it’s for you An empty grave
To a life that’s changed
It all points to Jesus Name
If you’ve been searching And nothings been working
I’ve got good news Jesus Loves You
Verse 2
Open up your eyes and look around you This is a place where your freedom is found Take a minute, Breathe it in
Watch your life turn upside down
Chorus
This is the good news
If you’re breathing, it’s for you An empty grave
To a life that’s changed
It all points to Jesus Name
If you’ve been searching And nothings been working
I’ve got good news Jesus Loves You
Bridge
No matter what you bring Oh He’s in love with you No matter your history
Oh He's in love with
No matter your unbelief
Oh He's in love with
From now ‘til eternity
He’ll still be in love with you

Meaning & Inspiration
“Good News” presents the resurrection of Jesus as an announcement meant for people burdened by discouraging voices and disappointed hopes. Its opening contrast between public noise and a dependable message prepares the central declaration: the empty grave points to a changed life, freedom, and the love of Jesus. The lyric moves from heaviness toward invitation, treating the gospel as news that can overturn a person’s direction rather than merely offer temporary optimism.
The empty-grave image aligns closely with the resurrection message summarized in 1 Corinthians 15, where Christ’s death, burial, and rising are identified as matters of first importance. The repeated assurance of divine love also corresponds with John 3:16, though the song expresses that truth in direct, conversational language. By joining resurrection, freedom, and enduring love, the song keeps its focus on Jesus as the source of hope. Its repeated title functions as a proclamation that personal history and present unbelief do not place anyone beyond the reach of the gospel invitation.
