How Good God Is

[Verse 1]
I didn't know the healer
Til I needed healing
I didn't need a savior
Or some kind of anchor
Til I lost my way

[Verse 2]
And I didn't know the father
Til I felt like an orphan
And I didn't need a river
A gracious forgiver
Til my soul was stained

[Chorus]
You took my hurting
And gave it purpose
Thank God for the anger
That forced me to pray
Thank God for the silence
That taught me to wait
If He spared me from breaking
And God knows I did
Then I never would have
Ever known how good God is
I never would have
Ever known how good God is

[Verse 3]
I didn't know the spirit
Til I felt His power
And I didn't see the light
Til He opened my eyes
In my darkest hour

[Verse 4]
And I didn't know the lion
Til I heard His roar
When I was surrounded
And couldn't fight without Him
Not one second more

[Chorus]
So thank God for the anger
That forced me to pray
Thank God for the silence
That taught me to wait
If He spared me from breaking
And God knows I did
Then I never would have
Ever known how good God is
I never would have
Ever known how good God is

[Bridge]
Thank God for the weakness
That showed me His strength
Thank God for the fire
That forged me with faith
If He spared me from drifting
As far as I did
Then I never would have
Ever known how good God is
I never would have
Ever known how good God is

[Outro]
God is good
God is good
God is good
No, I never would have
Ever known how good God is
I never would have
Ever known how good God is

[Verse 5]
Thank God for His kindness
To give up His son
To sit there and watch
As He says, "It is done"
If He spared Him from thorns
And the nails through His wrists
Then I never would have
Ever known how good God is
I never would have
Ever known how good God is
