Planetshakers - God Is Good Lyrics
Lyrics
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
And praise, His name
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
God reigns, always
We enter Your gates with thanksgiving
We come into Your courts with praise
Let our hearts be overflowing
As we lift Your name
God is good
All the time
I gotta tell somebody
I gotta let them know
God is good
All the time
Shout it to the nations
Make a declaration
God is good
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
And praise, His name
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
God reigns, always
We enter Your gates with thanksgiving
We come into Your courts with praise
Let our hearts be overflowing
As we lift Your name
God is good
All the time
I gotta tell somebody
I gotta let them know
God is good
All the time
Shout it to the nations
Make a declaration
God is good
You take the good, You take the bad
And You're working it for my good
When I don't see it, I still believe it
That You're working it for my good
When I'm on the mountain, or in the valley
You are working it for my good
So Lord I praise You, and I will thank You
Cause all the time You are so good
God is good
All the time
I gotta tell somebody
I gotta let them know
God is good
All the time
Shout it to the nations
Make a declaration
God is good
All the time
I gotta tell somebody
I gotta let them know
God is good
All the time
Shout it to the nations
Make a declaration
God is good

God Is Good | Planetshakers Official Lyric Video
Meaning & Inspiration
Planetshakers has once again delivered an anthem of profound truth and unwavering faith with their song, "God Is Good," officially released with its lyric video on October 15, 2025. This track isn't merely a collection of uplifting phrases; it's a vibrant, urgent declaration designed to ignite a celebratory spirit and embed a fundamental tenet of Christian belief deep within the hearts of those who engage with it. From its opening notes, the song sets an immediate tone of exuberance, calling all to "celebrate and praise His name," affirming that "God reigns, always." This immediate call to worship establishes the song's purpose: to be a joyful expression of devotion and a reminder of God’s constant sovereignty, echoing sentiments found throughout the Psalms, such as Psalm 93:1, which declares, "The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty."
The narrative behind "God Is Good" is less about a singular event and more about the ongoing, everyday experience of faith. It aims to capture that universal moment when believers realize the depth of God's unwavering character, compelling them to share that revelation. The lyrics invite us to "enter Your gates with thanksgiving" and "come into Your courts with praise," directly referencing Psalm 100:4, a foundational scripture for corporate worship. The desire for "hearts to be overflowing as we lift Your name" speaks to a spiritual abundance that comes from focusing on God’s glory, a concept reminiscent of John 7:38, where Jesus speaks of rivers of living water flowing from within those who believe. This song functions as a direct response to God's inherent goodness, urging a public and private acknowledgment of His nature.
At the core of "God Is Good" is the powerful, repetitive declaration: "God is good / All the time / I gotta tell somebody / I gotta let them know / Shout it to the nations / Make a declaration." This isn't just a catchy phrase; it's a theological anchor that grounds the entire message. It pulls directly from the common Christian affirmation but expands it into a mission, transforming personal belief into an evangelistic impulse. It reflects the Great Commission found in Mark 16:15, where believers are commanded to "go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation." The call to "shout it to the nations" is a passionate plea to spread the good news of God's character far and wide, fulfilling the biblical mandate to make His wonders known among the peoples, as expressed in Psalm 96:3. The song’s strength lies in its ability to translate a foundational truth into an active, contagious enthusiasm.
The bridge section of "God Is Good" offers perhaps the most profound theological depth, moving beyond mere celebration to a steadfast proclamation of faith in adversity. It speaks of God taking "the good, You take the bad / And You're working it for my good," a direct and powerful echo of Romans 8:28, which assures us that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him." This declaration is further solidified by the lines, "When I don't see it, I still believe it / That You're working it for my good," emphasizing a faith that trusts even when circumstances are unclear or challenging. The imagery of being "on the mountain, or in the valley" beautifully encapsulates the full spectrum of life's experiences, both highs and lows, and reiterates God's constant, benevolent presence. This resonates deeply with Psalm 23:4, where David affirms, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me." It's a testament to the unchanging nature of God, who remains good regardless of our fluctuating situations, inspiring a response of praise and thanksgiving because "all the time You are so good." This segment transforms the song from a simple praise track into a robust statement of resilient, tested faith, making it a compelling encouragement for anyone facing trials.
