Standing on the stories
Of our testimonies
Our history is Your tapestry
Of glory
Every generation
Witness to Your greatness
We've seen Your hand
Time and time again
So clearly

We build a monument
To Your faithfulness
Oh God how good
You've been to us
This is our confidence
You'll come through again
Oh God how good
You've been to us
Verse 2
We construct an altar
Standing for Your honor
With every stone
We are making known Your favor
Here we can remember
Every sign and wonder
From age to age
You are still the same forever
Chorus
We build a monument
To Your faithfulness
Oh God how good
You've been to us
This is our confidence
You'll come through again
Oh God how good
You've been to us
Bridge
Another blessing another stone
Another miracle that we can hold
Another story still more to come
Another monument unto our God
Chorus
We build a monument
To Your faithfulness
Oh God how good
You've been to us
This is our confidence
You'll come through again
Oh God how good
You've been to us

Oh God how good
You've been to us

Meaning & Inspiration
Monument centers on remembering God’s faithfulness across generations. Images of stories, stones, altars, and monuments turn personal testimonies into a shared record of divine goodness. The repeated confession that God has been good links past help with confidence for future need, while the language of signs and wonders presents worship as an act of grateful remembrance. The song’s central image recalls biblical memorials that preserved accounts of God’s intervention for later generations.
Its altar imagery also frames praise as an offering of honor rather than an attempt to earn favor. By moving from remembered blessing to expectation, the lyric portrays confidence as rooted in God’s consistent character. The closing repetition keeps gratitude at the center: every blessing and miracle becomes another figurative stone pointing toward the same faithful God.
