The Goodness of God

A few months ago, I learned a new song that the Worship Team at my church taught us. It came to my mind this morning much like every day as I am up starting my day.  Maybe you have heard it or sing it as well. If not, I encourage you to look for it online and learn itm. I want to share its message here though, because some days, it has helped me just get through the day when I can sing it back to God. 

Goodness of God

Bethel Music, Jenn Johnson

I love You, Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh I will sing of the goodness of God

All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In the darkest night
You are close like no other
I've known You as a Father
I've known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God
Oh

And all my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh I will sing of the goodness of God

Yeah yeah yeah
'Cause Your goodness is running, it's running after me
Your goodness is running, it's running after me
With my life laid down, I'm surrendered now, I give You everything
Your goodness is running, it's running after me

Your goodness is running, it's running after me
Your goodness is running, it's running after me
With my life laid down, I'm surrendered now, I give You everything
Your goodness is running, it keeps running after me

All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh I will sing of the goodness of God
I'm gonna sing, I'm gonna sing

And all my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh I will sing of the goodness of God
I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God

Friends, if we have been truly saved, no matter how much we slip up or get away from our Father, I believe he will run after us until we turn back to Him. He loves us that much! We can look to the parable of Jesus, our Shepard that went out to bring the lost sheep back to the fold. He doesn't have to do that. But then He didn't have to die for us either. But because we sometimes can be as stupid as sheep are, to wonder away from those taking care of him, so is Jesus who will come after us when we wonder away from Him.
