The song begins with a gentle melody and builds into a powerful declaration of gratitude, featuring the moving chorus: “All my life You have been faithful, all my life You have been so, so good…” Its simplicity and sincerity have made it one of the most beloved modern worship songs in churches worldwide.
I love You, Lord
Oh, Your mercy never failed me
And 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 so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
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
Oh, I have lived in the goodness of God, oh-oh-oh
~Repeat Chorus~
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So good
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
‘Cause Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after (2x)
~Repeat Chorus~
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
Yeah-yeah, yeah
You lead me and guide me, God
Faithful Father, floods my soul
Oh, and You are my anchor in the wind and the waves
You are my provider, oh, yeah
And You lead me and guide me by Your Spirit
And Your Word I have never walked alone
My joy, my joy, every day
Oh, Shepherd of my soul, ooh
What a joy to know You
Oh, the joy of knowing you God
You’re everything to me
So wonderful, in all your ways, hey
All your ways
Amen
