Anytime I think of Don Moen and Paul Overstreet’s God Is Good All The Time and sing it I feel encouraged.
And it helps me feel like I’m realising my secret ambition of pastoring a country music church.
The lyrics:
Chorus:
God is good all the time
He put a song of praise in this heart of mine
God is good all the time
Through the darkest night, His light will shine
God is good, God is good all the time
Verse 1:
If you’re walking through the valley
And there are shadows all around
Do not fear, He will guide you
He will keep you safe and sound
‘Cause He’s promised to never leave you
Nor forsake you and His Word is true
Chorus:
God is good…
Verse 2:
We were sinners – so unworthy
Still for us He chose to die
Filled us with His Holy Spirit
Now we can stand and testify
That His love is everlasting
And His mercies – they will never end
Chorus:
God is good…
Bridge:
Lord I may not understand
All the plans He left for me
My life is in your hands
And through the eyes of Him I can clearly see
Chorus
God is good…
