Tasha Cobbs Leonard - Goodness Of God Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
I love You Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God
Chorus
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
Verse 2
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest nights
You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a father
I’ve known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God
Bridge
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now, I give You everything
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me

Meaning & Inspiration
Tasha Cobbs Leonard's "Goodness of God," released on January 23, 2020, emerged as a powerful declaration of unwavering faith and divine faithfulness, resonating deeply within the gospel music sphere and beyond. This rendition serves as a poignant exploration of God’s consistent presence and loving provisions, even amidst life’s inevitable challenges. The song’s genesis and enduring impact are rooted in a profound theological truth: that the character of God is inherently good, a goodness that is not contingent on our circumstances but is a foundational aspect of His being, as revealed throughout Scripture. The lyrical tapestry, while simple in its directness, powerfully echoes Old Testament affirmations of God’s enduring covenant and kindness, such as Psalm 23, which speaks of God as a shepherd who leads, protects, and provides, ensuring that His flock lacks nothing. The song’s progression builds from a quiet acknowledgment of God's grace to a triumphant testament, mirroring the biblical narrative of individuals recounting God's faithfulness through trials, reminiscent of David's psalms of deliverance. The unwavering conviction conveyed by Cobbs Leonard’s vocals speaks to the transformative power of truly internalizing God's goodness, a concept intricately woven into passages like Romans 8:28, which assures believers that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Furthermore, the repeated emphasis on God’s goodness as a constant source of strength and comfort aligns directly with the teachings of Jesus, who promised to be with His followers always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20), providing a constant anchor for the soul. The song’s structure and message encourage a deep personal reflection on the tangible and intangible ways God’s goodness manifests, prompting listeners to recall their own testimonies of His provision, protection, and unwavering love, thereby fostering a renewed sense of gratitude and reliance upon Him, underscoring the biblical directive to "give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thessalonians 5:18) not because circumstances are perfect, but because the Giver is always good.
