You Are Good Lyrics

Chorus

I will sing the goodness of the Lord  

As long as I live, as long as I live  

I'll be strong, take heart, and wait for Him  

As long as I live, as long as I live  

I'm lost in the silence, searching hard for some guidance here  

Screaming to the heavens, but it's met with defiance  

Fear, praise Your grace Lord, I'm sinking, nothing's really clear  

Reaching out for something, but it's fading when you disappear  

Trials keep on hitting and I'm battling the endless fight  

Praying for some peace, but what I get's another sleepless night  

Looking for Your goodness, but it's lost up in the lack of light  

Walking through the valley, praying to You for Your guiding sight  

Questioning Your presence, wondering if You hear my plea  

If You're here beside me, why does pain keep dragging me  

Say You heal the broken, but I feel like I can barely see  

Crying out for answers while the doubt, it keeps on choking me  

Staring into chaos, trying hard to understand  

If You're truly sovereign, why does evil rule the land  

Looking for Your justice, but it's hidden where I stand  

God, how can I keep trusting You when pain is out of hand  

Chorus

I really want to trust You, but some things, they keep me doubting  

Like a couple that's in love, but it always ends in shouting  

Or a husband in his fifties that just lost his wife to cancer  

Now he's crying to the heavens, he's just looking for an answer  

For the fact that there just seems to be another war we're fighting in  

Endless people dying, leaving many mothers crying in  

Looking at this broken world, reminded of Your perfect word  

That You will never leave us, that Your face will never turn  

Your Son has paid my ransom and the words of prophet Nahum  

The Lord is good, a stronghold, and He cares for those who trust Him  

But trusting is kind of hard when we see the bad things happen  

But we believe that God is still good, even in spite of them  

God is so good, even when I’m crying alone  

Even when thinking of crazy unknowns  

He is still sitting on top of the throne  

Looking at Romans inside the New Testament  

Our God, He is benevolent  

He is working everything together for our betterment  

Chorus

God, You could take it all, and You could take my life  

And You could take my wealth, You could take my wife  

You could take my son, You could take my daughter  

I know through life's pain, You're a good, good Father  

'Cause if You didn’t love us, You wouldn’t send Your Son  

To take my place on that evil cross  

And it's really hard to see why You went upon that evil tree  

And if I dare complain, then Lord, remind me of Gethsemane  

Thank You, Jesus, God is good, God is great  

I thank You for salvation, I thank You for all Your patience  

I thank You for all creation and for my sanctification  

Deliver me from temptation, help me flee the lies of Satan  

For Your goodness, it don't matter what You give to me  

And You could take it all away, and even in the rainy day  

I walk through with my heart aflame  

With Your goodness, Lord, my heart will sing and praise Your name  

Chorus
