Lord You are good
Lord You are good
You've been better than good to me

Even if I tried
You've been so good to me

So many ways You have made
So many times You have healed me

Meaning & Inspiration
“Lord You Are Good” by Todd Galberth is a short, direct song of thanks built on the line “You’ve been better than good to me.” The chorus repeats that God is good, then admits the limits of gratitude: “I can’t praise You enough, I owe You my life,” and “even if I tried.” The singer does not offer a long argument; the repetition itself carries the point.
The bridge gives concrete reasons: “So many doors You have opened, so many ways You have made, so many times You have healed me.” These lines read as personal testimony of provision, guidance, and healing. The closing section returns to the same statement three times, ending the song where it began.
The theme is close to Psalm 107:1, which calls on people to give thanks because the Lord is good, and to Psalm 116:12, which asks what can be given back for all His benefits. The song is simple and repetitive, suited to a congregation that wants to say thanks together.
