Låttexter: Scott Krippayne. You Have Been Good.
If I never get to see another rainbow
Or share another life with a friend
If I never stand barefoot by the ocean
Or get to kiss my child goodnight again
If I never have another prayer that's answered
Or have another blessing come my way
If this is all I know of heaven's kindness
Father, I would still have to say [unverified]
You have been good
You have been good
And I may've wondered how could it be
You have been good
You've been so good
So many ways You've been good to me
You've shown me mercy upon mercy
Grace upon grace, time after time
And I know all too well what I'm deserving
Yet, You are still so patient and kind
You have been good
You have been good
And I may've wondered and how could it be
You have been good
You've been so good
So many ways You've been good to me
Suddenly it all were ended
And your past sins disappear
Looking back over a lifetime
The evidence is clear
You have been good
You have been good
And I may've wondered how could it be
You have been good
You've been so good
So many ways You've been good to me
You have been good
You have been good
And I may've wondered how could it be
You have been good
You've been so good
So many ways You've been good to me
So many ways You've been good to me
Or share another life with a friend
If I never stand barefoot by the ocean
Or get to kiss my child goodnight again
If I never have another prayer that's answered
Or have another blessing come my way
If this is all I know of heaven's kindness
Father, I would still have to say [unverified]
You have been good
You have been good
And I may've wondered how could it be
You have been good
You've been so good
So many ways You've been good to me
You've shown me mercy upon mercy
Grace upon grace, time after time
And I know all too well what I'm deserving
Yet, You are still so patient and kind
You have been good
You have been good
And I may've wondered and how could it be
You have been good
You've been so good
So many ways You've been good to me
Suddenly it all were ended
And your past sins disappear
Looking back over a lifetime
The evidence is clear
You have been good
You have been good
And I may've wondered how could it be
You have been good
You've been so good
So many ways You've been good to me
You have been good
You have been good
And I may've wondered how could it be
You have been good
You've been so good
So many ways You've been good to me
So many ways You've been good to me
