Dark clouds gather 'round
There's every reason to back down
Your excuses are running out
But now's no time to leave
Just tryin' to walk the line
It's not enough to get by
All it does is keep you blind
But if you truly want to see
Turn and face the wind
Let the storm begin
Love's not safe at all
Love might let you fall
Love's not easy
But it's good, it's good, it's good
Love will take your time
Love might feel unkind
Love will break you
But it's good, it's good, it's good
Oh it's good
It's ok to start again
You've got to lose to win
And right where the end begins
That's where you find yourself
Losing all control
Finally letting go
Love's not safe at all
Love might let you fall
Love's not easy
But it's good, it's good, it's good
Love will take your time
Love might feel unkind
Love will break you
But it's good, it's good, it's good
I know it's good
Anything good in life's
Gonna take a sacrifice
Don't let up when it's tough
Don't ever give up the fight [x3]
Everything you need in life
Was given by his sacrifice
I will give it all to you
I will give it all to Christ
He's not safe at all
He might let you fall
He's not easy
But He's good
I know He's good
He will take your time
He might feel unkind
He will break you
But He's good, He's good, He's good
I know He's good
He's good, He's good, He's good
He's good, He's good, He's good
I know He's good
He's good, He's good, He's good
I know He's good
He's good, He's good, He's good
He's good
