(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh)
If someone would've told me
How good my life would get
I would've called them crazy
'Cause I couldn't see it yet
From a story going nowhere
To where I'm standing now
I'm smiling 'cause I know there's
Only one way how
How good
How good
How good of God
My heart can't help but see
How good
How good
How good of God
To be so good
To me
(Oh-oh)
My sins have been forgiven
And my wrongs have been erased
And I've learned what's so amazing
About amazing grace
Yeah, this life I live is proof
That every prayer I prayed was heard
Lord, ain't it just like You
To give me more than I deserve?
How good
How good
How good of God
My heart can't help but see
Oh how good
How good
How good of God
To be so good
To me
From the victories on the mountains
To the heartbreak valley low
I've always been surrounded
By the arms that won't let go
They'll carry me to Heaven
When it's time to leave this Earth
Lord, ain't it just like You
To give me more than I deserve?
How good
How good
How good of God
My heart can't help but see
Oh, how good
How good
How good of God
To be so good
To me
(Oh, how good!)
How good
How good
How good of God
My heart can't help but see (oh thank the Lord!)
How good
How good
How good of God
To be so good
To me
Oh how good
How good
How good of God
To be so good
To me
