Goodness of God Lyrics by Don Moen
[Verse]
I love You Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
[Chorus]
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
[Verse]
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night
You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a father
I’ve known You as a friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God
[Chorus]
Ooh
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
[Bridge]
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
With my life laid down
I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
[Bridge]
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
With my life laid down
I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
[Outro]
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
I will sing of the goodness of God
I’m gonna sing of the goodness of God
