Lyrics
Verse 1
Searching far and wide for anything to fill your heart
Love that was inside was far away when the pain starts
And the day has become dark
Everything's falling apart now
But God is good
Chorus
Taste and see that the Lord is good
Taste and see that the Lord is good
Try him now, one thing's for sure
He will never forsake you
Verse 2
This is hard to find when the storm crashes on you
Stand the test of time is what you've tried your best to do
Loneliest is close to you
Those you love somehow you lose now
But God is good
Chorus
Taste and see that the Lord is good
Taste and see that the Lord is good
Try him now, one thing's for sure
He will never forsake you
Bridge
Nothing missing
Nothing lacking
I found all I need at the table with You
Outro
I found all I need, all I need in Him
Every void is filled at His table
I found all I need, all I need in Him
Every void is filled at His table

Meaning & Inspiration
Taste & See invites those hurting to find out that God is good. The first verse describes searching far and wide to fill the heart, love seeming far away when pain starts, and everything falling apart, and then answers with the line that God is good. The chorus is built from Psalm 34:8 with "taste and see that the Lord is good," and the promise that He will never forsake.
The second verse speaks of storms, loneliness and losing loved ones, again with the same answer. A closing section says nothing is missing or lacking at His table, where all that is needed is found and every void filled. The table image recalls Psalm 23:5, the promise never to forsake matches Hebrews 13:5, and the sufficiency fits Philippians 4:19. Plain and comforting, the song moves from pain to invitation and rest.
