New Life Worship - How Good is He Lyrics

“How Good Is He” centers on God’s goodness as the foundation of forgiveness, welcome, and new beginnings. The opening images present God as Father, the source of salvation, and the presence who surrounds a believer. The repeated question does not treat his goodness as an abstract idea; it attaches that goodness to mercy for a sinner.

The verse acknowledges that neither circumstances nor personal merit control divine forgiveness. Instead, the song describes a God of second chances who receives the sinner’s humble offering. That emphasis aligns with biblical pictures of compassionate forgiveness and a Father who welcomes the repentant. The movement from human need to divine welcome gives the chorus its sense of wonder, while the references to breath, light, and salvation place every expression of gratitude within God’s sustaining care.
