You Are Good

You Are Good

When the sun starts to rise and I open my eyes

You are good, so good.

In the heat of the day, with each stone that I lay

You are so good.

With every breath I take in

I'll tell you I'm grateful again.

When the moon climbs high, before each kiss goodnight

You are good.

When the road starts to turn around each bend I've learned

You are good, so good.

And when somebody's hand holds me up, helps me stand

You are so good.

With every breath I take in

I'll tell you I'm grateful again.

Cause it's more than enough just to know I am loved

And You are good.

So how can I thank you?

What can I bring?

What can these poor hands lay at the feet of a King?

So I'll sing You a love song.

It's all that I have.

To tell You I'm grateful for holding my life in your hands.

When it's dark and it's cold and I can't feel my soul

You are good, so good.

When the world is gone gray and the rain's here to stay

You are still good.

So with every breath I take in

I'll tell you I'm grateful again.

And the storm may swell, even then it is well

And You are good.

You know the cliche that God always speaks in unexpected ways?  This is a song from my Macyn's bedtime CD that has totally reached out and grabbed me in the last couple of days, particularly the last verse.  I've been having this little (well, not-so-little) pity party for myself lately. I'm dealing with circumstances that are less-than-ideal, and I've totally had a horrible, crummy attitude consuming me.  This song is that much-needed reminder that God is always here and always good!  I'm realizing that he put me in this situation for some reason (hopefully to be revealed soon) and that, even though it isn't what I want, it's good.  It also reminds me that God doesn't expect anything from me other than to just be grateful.  Wow.  In our world of, "You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours," I have a God who expects nothing other than "Thank You."  How cool is that??
