Lyrics

You made the rain, so when it falls on me


Should I complain, or feel You calling me


It’s all on me to stay


And really catch what You’re showing


It’s my roots that You’re growing


‘Cause life is more than this moment


You are the light, so when the darkness falls


The greatest heights, they never seem so tall no not at all


You’re right, it’s my roots that You’re growing, don’t wanna miss what You’re showing


 


Ain’t no doubt about You


Everywhere that I go


You keep showing up (Lord You)


Make me wanna shout it


You’re the goodness in my life


And Imma tell You my truth


They may come, they may go


You keep showing up (sure do)


Ain’t no doubt about it


You are, You are


The goodness in my life


 


You are the joy


You’re the smile on the face of Your boy


You’re the flowers at that park in Detroit


Still the words on the back of our coins


Let’s make some noise


You cover me, my defender when You’re rolling up Your sleeves


You’re the truth that’s gonna set the captive free


The only King that’s ever chose to bleed, is what I believe


 


Now they keep trying to make Your glory fade


But I ain’t really sweating what they say


 


Through the good and the bad and the ugly


I can still see the sunshine above me


Lord I love all the ways that You love me


You’re the good, You’re the good, You’re the goodness

Meaning & Inspiration

The Goodness looks for evidence of God’s care in both difficulty and delight. Rain, darkness, growth, sunlight, flowers, joy, and freedom become signs through which divine goodness is recognized. Instead of treating hardship as proof of abandonment, the opening lines consider how challenges may deepen spiritual roots. The recurring declaration that God keeps showing up gives the song its main confession: changing circumstances do not erase his faithful presence.

The lyrics also connect goodness with the character and work of Christ. God is named as light, defender, truth, and the King who chose to bleed, bringing the song from everyday gratitude to redemption. References to good, bad, and ugly moments make the praise broad enough to include painful experience without minimizing it. The result is an energetic testimony that celebrates protection, joy, truth, sacrificial love, and visible grace across ordinary life.
