Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Lately I've been looking back, along this winding road 

To the old familiar markers of the mercies I have known 

I know it may sound simple but it's more than a cliche 

There's no better way to tell you, than to say 


Chorus 

God's been good in my life 

I feel blessed beyond my wildest dreams when I go to sleep each night 

And though I've had my share of hard times, I wouldn't change them if I could 

'Cause through it all, God's been good 


Verse 2 

Times replay and I can see that I've cried some bitter tears 

But I felt His arms around me, as I faced my greatest fears 

You see I've had more gains than losses and I've known more joy than hurt 

As His grace rolled down upon me undeserved 


Bridge 

For God has been my Father, my Savior and my Friend 

His love was my beginning, and His love will be my end 

I could spend forever trying to tell you everything He is 

But the best that I can say it is this 


Chorus 

God's been good in my life 

I feel blessed beyond my wildest dreams when I go to sleep each night 

And though I've had my share of hard times, I wouldn't change them if I could 

'Cause through it all, God's been good
