God Is Good
God is good and remember this for no one else but He,
Can really know whats best for usor why some things must be.
He knows just why the winds must blow
or why the rain must fall And in His gracious, loving way
He cares about us all. And when were faced with
mysteries That cant be understood, Through living faith, and faith alone, We know that God is good.
