Passion - God, You're So Good Lyrics
Lyrics
Amazing love
That welcomes me
The kindness of mercy
That bought with blood, wholeheartedly
My soul undeserving
God, You're so good
Oh God, You're so good
God, You're so good
You're so good to me
Behold the cross
Age to age
And hour by hour
The dead are raised, the sinner saved
The work of Your power
God, You're so good
God, You're so good
God, You're so good
You're so good to me
Oh yes you are
God, You're so good
God, You're so good
Oh God, You're so good
You're so good to me
I am blessed, I am called
I am healed, I am whole
I am saved in Jesus' name
Highly favored, anointed
Filled with Your power
For the glory of Jesus' name
I am blessed, I am called
I am healed, I am whole
I am saved in Jesus' name
Highly favored, anointed
Filled with Your power
For the glory of Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on April 4, 2018, as part of the album *Whole Heart*, "God, You're So Good" by Passion featuring Melodie Malone stands as a powerful declaration of faith, born from a deep wellspring of theological truth. At its core, the song is an effusive outpouring of gratitude and awe, directly addressing the character and actions of God as revealed through the Christian narrative. The central message revolves around the overwhelming goodness of God, a goodness not earned or deserved, but freely given. The opening lines immediately establish this theme, referencing "amazing love" and "kindness of mercy" that were "bought with blood, wholeheartedly." This is a direct allusion to the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross, a foundational tenet of Christianity, as highlighted in passages like John 3:16, which speaks of God's immense love demonstrated through sending His Son, and Romans 5:8, stating that "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The song emphasizes the undeserving nature of the recipient of this love, underscoring the grace that underpins God's relationship with humanity.
The repeated refrain, "God, You're so good," is more than just a simple phrase; it's an anthem of acknowledgment, echoing throughout Scripture. This sentiment finds resonance in verses such as Psalm 107:1, which calls to "give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever," and Lamentations 3:25, which declares, "The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him." The lyrics then pivot to the "cross," a visual and theological anchor for the entire message. The phrase "Age to age / And hour by hour" points to the enduring significance and pervasive power of Christ's sacrifice, emphasizing its timeless efficacy. The subsequent lines, "The dead are raised, the sinner saved / The work of Your power," directly correlate the redemptive work of the cross with divine intervention and transformation. This aligns with Ephesians 2:1-5, which describes how believers were "dead in our transgressions" but were made alive with Christ by grace, and 2 Corinthians 5:17, which assures that "if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
The latter portion of the song shifts to a personal testimony of the effects of God's goodness. The repeated declarations, "I am blessed, I am called / I am healed, I am whole / I am saved in Jesus' name," serve as affirmations of the believer's identity in Christ. These phrases are not aspirational wishes but statements of present reality for those who have embraced their faith. Such declarations are rooted in promises found throughout the Bible, for instance, the blessing promised in Ephesians 1:3, which states, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ." The mention of being "highly favored, anointed / Filled with Your power" further elaborates on the transformative impact of God's presence and purpose for believers. This echoes the empowerment described in Acts 1:8, where Jesus promises that believers "will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you," and 1 John 4:17, which speaks of love being made complete among believers so that they may have confidence on the day of judgment, "for in this world we are one with him." Ultimately, "God, You're So Good" is a profound and biblically rich expression of Christian worship, celebrating the boundless goodness of God and the life-altering reality of His redemptive work.
