I've heard a thousand stories of what they think You're like
But I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night
You tell me that You're pleased and that I'm never alone
You're a good, good father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
You're a good, good father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
Oh, and I've seen many searching for answers far and wide
But I know we're all searching for answers only you provide (hallelujah)
'Cause You know just what we need before we say a word
You're a good, good father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
You're a good, good father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
Come on
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us
Oh, You're perfect
You're perfect
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us
You're a good, good father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
Oh, it's love so undeniable I can hardly speak
And it's peace so unexplainable I can hardly think
As You call me, oh, deeper still
As You call me, oh, deeper still
As You call me, oh, deeper still
Into love, love, love
As You call
As You call me deeper still
As You call me, oh, deeper still
As You call me deeper still
Into love, love
You're a good, good father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
You're a good, good father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
So good
You've been so good
You've been so good
So good
