Song Meaning

Goodness is the claim the song keeps proving from different angles. "In the day, in the night," in good times and when "things go wrong," on the mountains and in the valley, in rain and sunshine, the answer stays the same: "You are good." Each pairing closes off an escape route for doubt, since no season is left out.

A middle section argues that God "cannot be weighed on the scales of men," and that His goodness cannot be measured "by the standards of men." From there the singer turns to "Your mercy endureth forever," repeated three times, and then slides into Igbo: "Nezie na idnma," which the lyrics gloss as "truly You are good," followed by "receive the praise I bring" and "join me to thank him." The singer adds a line about loving the sound of worship, and the song ends in wordless "oh oh oh oh."

The refrain follows Psalm 136:1, "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever," and Psalm 100:5, which says the Lord's faithfulness continues through all generations. Praise comes first, and the circumstances come second.

In the day, In the night 

You are Good 

In the good times and 

When things go wrong Lord 

You are Good 


On the mountains, down in the valley 

Lord, You're still good 

In the rain, in the sunshine 

You're still good 


You cannot be weighed 

on the scales of men 

No way, no way 

No no no no 

Your goodness cannot be measure 

By the standards of men 


Your mercy endureth forever 

Your mercy endureth forever 

Your mercy endureth forever 

You are good Lord 


Nezie na idnma (truly You are good) 

Nezie na idnma (truly You are good) 

Nara ekele m njiri bia (receive the praise I bring) 

Nezie na idnma (truly You are good) 

Soro m kele ya(Join me to thank him) 

Nezie na idnma (truly You are good) 

oh oh oh oh 


I just love the sound of worship 

You cannot be weighed on the scales of men 

You are good 

Your goodness cannot be measure 

By the standards of men 


Your mercy endureth forever 

Your mercy endureth forever 

Your mercy endureth forever 

You are good Lord 


Nezie na idnma (truly You are good) 

Nezie na idnma (truly You are good) 

Nara ekele m njiri bia (receive the praise I bring) 

Nezie na idnma (truly You are good) 

Soro m kele ya(Join me to thank him) 

Nezie na idnma (truly You are good) 

oh oh oh oh
