God's Been Good

Lately I've been looking back

Along this winding road

To the old familiar markers

Of the mercies I have known

I know it may sound simple

But it's more than a cliché

There's no better way to tell you

Than to say

God's been good in my life

I feel blessed beyond my wildest dreams

When I go to sleep each night

And though I've had my share of hard times

I wouldn't change them if I could

'Cause through it all

God's been good

Times were plain and I can see

That I've cried some bitter tears

But I felt his arms around me

As I faced my greatest fears

You see I've had more gains than losses

And I've known more joy than hurt

As his grace rode down upon me

So undeserved

God's been good in my life

I feel blessed beyond my wildest dreams

When I go to sleep each night

Though I've had my share of hard times

I wouldn't change them if I could

'Cause through it all

God's been good

For God has been my Father

My Savior and my Friend

His love was my beginning

And his love will be my end

I could spend forever trying

To tell you everything He is

But the best way I can say it is this

God's been good in my life

I feel blessed beyond my wildest dreams

When I go to sleep each night

And though I've had my share of hard times

I wouldn't change them if I could

'Cause through it all

God's been good
