God, you're so good

Last week during worship I was holding Townes

We were singing "What a beautiful name" and he started singing along. All of the words.

I knew that he knew the words, because we listen to that song a lot. but, he had never sang out loud in church before.

I was completely caught off guard. 

I couldn't stop the little tears that started forming in my eyes.

Perhaps i'm way off here, but hearing your child sing those words is enough to send a mama into a fit of thankful-praise-crying-hysterics. 

pretty sweet. 

I was standing next to GT, who was holding Judson as we started singing the next song.

Amazing love

That welcomes me

The kindness of mercy

That bought with blood, wholeheartedly

My soul undeserving

I couldn't help but think that yes, God is so good to me.

I am standing next to my husband and my children. overwhelmed with the goodness of this life.

that does make me grateful.

but when i think of how GOOD my GOD IS because of what HE did for me, that's when i can’t help worship who HE is. Because it’s not dependent on how “good” these earthly things are going for me, but entirely because of the goodness of our Father.

of course, i am thankful for our earthly blessings and i know how much i have been given in this life.

but, beyond that- i have hope. I have peace. I have joy. 

only because of what He did at calvary.

I am undeserving of anything in this life. and certainly anything past this life. 

but, because of the goodness of the Lord...

I am blessed, I am called

I am healed, I am whole

I am saved in Jesus' name

Highly favored, anointed

Filled with Your power

For the glory of Jesus’ name

God, You're so good

Oh God, You're so good

God, You're so good

You're so good to me

Behold the cross

Age to age

And hour by hour

The dead are raised, the sinner saved

The work of Your power

God, You're so good

God, You're so good

God, You're so good

You're so good to me

I am blessed, I am called

I am healed, I am whole

I am saved in Jesus' name

Highly favored, anointed

Filled with Your power

For the glory of Jesus’ name

And should this life

Bring suffering

Lord, I will remember

What Calvary has bought for me

Both now and forever

God, You're so good

God, You're so good

God, You're so good

You're so good to me
