Song Meaning
Phil Wickham keeps the message plain on purpose: "God is good. He is good in every way." The opening verses ask listeners to "lift your eyes to heaven" and recall that God "works all things together so much better than we could," a line that follows Romans 8:28.
Names of God carry the middle of the song. Calling him "Jehovah Jireh" for provision and "Jehovah Rafah" for healing, Wickham ties each name to something God does, and then adds that he "will be faithful forever" and "never changes." A call-and-response moment, "Come on, let's sing it," gives the congregation room to join in.
The final stretch recalls history: the God who "stood in that fire," who "tore the walls down" and "parted the ocean" is present now. The bridge then moves to Psalm 23, walking "through the valley in the shadow of death" with nothing to fear because "the good, good, good shepherd is here." The song closes by returning to its first claim, that God has "always been so good to me."

God is good. He is good
In every way, He's good
Oh, lift your eyes to heaven
And remember: He is good
He works all things together
So much better than we could
Oh, lift your eyes to heaven
And remember: He is good
He's always-always good
Come on. Let's sing it
Oh God is good. He is good
In every way, He's good
Oh, lift your eyes to heaven
And remember: He is good
He works all things together
So much better than we could
Oh, lift your eyes to heaven
And remember: He is good
He is good. Yeah. He is good. He's good He's good
That's why we call Him "Jehovah Jireh"
He always provides
That's why we call Him "Jehovah Rafah"
We're healed by His stripes
He will be faithful forever
His love never ends
Oh, and He never changes
It's just the way He is
God is good. He is good
In every way He's good
Yes, He is
Yes, He is
Oh, lift your eyes to heaven
And remember: He is good
He works all things together
So much better than we could
So, come on and lift your eyes, lift your eyes, lift your eyes
That's why we call Him "Jehovah Jireh"
He always provides
That's why we call Him "Jehovah Rafah"
We are healed by His stripes
He will be faithful forever
His love never ends
And He never changes
It's just who He is
The same God who stood in that fire
The same God who tore the walls down
The same God who parted the ocean
Is here right now
Here right now
He's got the power to free us
He's got the power to save
My God can make a dead man live
Pull him out—out of the grave
Even though I walk through the valley in the shadow of death
I got nothing to fear
The good, good, good shepherd is here
The good, good, good shepherd is here
Even though I walk through the valley in the shadow of death
I got nothing to fear
The good, good, good shepherd is here
The good, good, good shepherd is here
God is so good, so good, so good
Always been so good to me
