Lyrics
Verse
You are God, And I am not,
So take Your place, Above my life
With everything, and all I am,
I'm holding on, Onto Your plan
Pre-Chorus
My life is not my own,
So come and take control,
Cause You alone are good
Chorus
You are good, All the time,
And Your love endures forever,
You are good, All the time,
You are good.
Bridge
There's no other name,
No other name like Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
The song centers on surrender before the goodness and authority of God. Its opening contrast between God and the worshiper establishes humility, while the request for God to take His place above every part of life turns that confession into prayer. The repeated declaration that God is good at all times gives the song a steady foundation: circumstances may change, but divine love and character remain dependable. The language of yielding control also keeps the praise from becoming merely celebratory; it connects worship with obedience and trust.
The chorus closely echoes the biblical refrain that the Lord is good and that His steadfast love endures forever. The bridge then directs attention to the name of Jesus, presenting Him as uniquely worthy of allegiance. Together, these sections move from personal submission to communal praise without losing their central focus. The result is a concise worship song about placing an entire life under the care and plan of a good God.
