Lyrics
Verse 1
I know a God, who's merciful and kind
Faithful and gracious
I'm the apple of his eyes
The thought that fills his heart
Every Morning, noon and night
He loved me when I didn't care
And was patient till I came
Running back into his arms
Look how he turned my life around
Made me a shining star
His glory to reveal
Chorus (x2)
I will worship Him forever
Love Him forever because
This God is too good oh
Verse 2
Don't look too far to see
How good he is, just look at me
He took me from the miry clay
Set my foot upon the rock
I'm standing in his righteousness
He took away my sin and shame
Gave me a brand new name
His beloved and the redeemed
Look how he turned my life around
Made me a shining light
His glory to reveal
Chorus (x4)
I will worship Him forever
Love Him forever because
This God is too good oh
Bridge
Jesus you're too good oh
Jesus you're too much oh
His grace is too much oh
His love is so deep oh
Verse 3
I don't deserve you
(I don't deserve you)
But I am grateful
(Always)
I don't deserve it
(No no)
But you love me anyway
So I worship you forever
Love you forever
This God is too good oh
Verse 4
Look what you've done for me
See how you set me free
How you washed me in your precious blood Jesus
Chorus (x2)
I will worship Him forever
Love Him forever because
This God is too good oh
Outro
You are too good ooh
He's so good Jesus
You're too good oh
Wonderful
Glorious Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
“This God Is Too Good” by Nathaniel Bassey is a worship testimony that begins with a list of what the singer knows about God: merciful, kind, faithful, and gracious. The singer describes being “the apple of his eyes,” loved “when I didn’t care” and welcomed back when running home to God, an image close to the father in Luke 15 and to Deuteronomy 32:10, where Israel is kept as the apple of God’s eye.
The second verse points to personal change: “He took me from the miry clay, set my foot upon the rock,” a line taken from Psalm 40:2, followed by images of a new name, righteousness, and a life made into a shining light for God’s glory. The chorus then repeats the vow to worship forever “because this God is too good.”
Later sections focus on grace that cannot be earned: “I don’t deserve it… but You love me anyway,” and thanks for being set free and washed in the blood of Jesus. The song’s message is gratitude for undeserved love.
