Lyrics

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

Cause all my life You have been faithful
And 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 darkest night You are close like no other
I've known You as a Father
I've known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God (yeah)

And all my life You have been faithful (oh yes You have)
And 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

Your goodness is running after it's running after me
Your goodness is running after it's running after me
With my life laid down I surrender now
I give You everything

Your goodness is running after it's running after me
Your goodness is running after (oh yeah) it's running after me (oh yeah)
Your goodness is running after it's running after me
With my life laid down I'm surrendered now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after it running after me

Cause all my life You have been faithful
And 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 darkest night You are close like no other
I've known You as a Father
I've known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God (yeah)

And all my life You have been faithful (oh yes You have)
And 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

Your goodness is running after it's running after me
Your goodness is running after it's running after me
With my life laid down I surrender now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after it's running after me
Your goodness is running after (oh yeah) it's running after me (oh yeah)
Your goodness is running after it's running after me
With my life laid down I'm surrendered now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after it running after me

And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God
I'm gonna sing
All my life You have been faithful
(All my life you’ve been faithful)
And all my life You have been so so good
(So good with every breath)
With every breath that I am able
(Every breath I am able)
I'm gonna sing (I’m gonna sing)
Of the goodness of God
(Of the goodness of God yes I am)
I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God
Oh I’m gonna sing of the goodness of God

Reflection

There are seasons when God’s goodness feels easy to see — open doors, answered prayers, unexpected blessings. And there are seasons when His goodness feels hidden beneath tears, questions, and waiting. Yet this song powerfully reminds us that His goodness is constant, not dependent on circumstances, not fragile, not uncertain.

Every line carries a testimony:
that He has held us through pain,
guided us in confusion,
protected us from what we didn’t see,
and stayed faithful when we wandered.

The chorus becomes a declaration — not just of what God has done, but of who He is. When we sing, “All my life You have been faithful,” we’re aligning our hearts with a truth stronger than any feeling: God’s nature is goodness itself.

If you’re in a place of gratitude, let this song lift your praise.
If you’re in a place of struggle, let it remind you that goodness is still chasing you.

And if you’re in a place of waiting, let these words anchor you in the assurance that He is working — gently, faithfully, and beautifully — in every detail of your life.
