Verse
I see the things You do for me
How You love me is a mystery
You daily show me so much mercy oh
You’re a good God
Daddy, You’re a good God
You’ve been my help consistently
You’re never giving up on me
I must confess that You’re a good God
You’re a good God
Daddy, You’re a good God
Chorus
Good God oh (Good God oh)
Your love is too much oh
Every day of my life
I will sing Your praise
And proclaim Your great name
Good God oh (Good God oh)
You’re a good God oh (You're a good God oh)
Good God oh
You’re a good God oh
Bridge
I will say it everywhere
You’re a good God oh
I have the best Father
You’re a good God oh
Who wouldn’t serve a God like You?
You’re a good God oh
Who wouldn’t worship a Father like You?
Who wouldn’t worship a Lover like You?
You’re a good God oh
You’re never giving up on me
You have never let me down
You came through time and time again
You helped me time and time again
Good God!
You’re a good God oh
You help me more than I can pray
You help me more than I can pray
I have history with You
I have history with You
I have history with You
You’re a good God oh

Meaning & Inspiration
Good God is a song of thanksgiving that calls God good from personal experience. The verse says that the singer sees what God does and finds His love a mystery, that He shows mercy every day and has been a consistent help, never giving up. The conclusion is repeated: "You're a good God."
The chorus declares that the love is too much and promises to sing His praise every day and proclaim His great name. The spontaneous bridge adds "I have the best Father," asks who would not serve or worship such a God, and ends with "I have history with You," a testimony drawn from help received time and time again. The lyrics fit Psalm 34:8, Psalm 136:1 on His enduring goodness and love, and Lamentations 3:22-23 on mercy renewed each day. Informal and conversational, the song depends on call-and-response, and its repeated lines make it easy for a congregation to answer back.
