Um... You've been good
If I never own a mansion, way out on a hill
If I never see riches
Lord I'll serve you still
If I lose all my possessions
And my health begins to fail
I can still say You've been good
If I wake-up on tomorrow
Find that all of my love-ones are gone
Look around and see that my friends are few
I'll still keep holding on
If I call and there's no answer
In the mist of my despair
I can still say Lord
You've been good
You've been good~ chorus (Good...)
Oh, yeah~ chorus (um good... um)
So as long as I live, I'll tell the world God is good, yeah
Oh... ~ chorus (Good)
You've been real, real, real, real, real, real good to me!
~ chorus (um good... um)
I'm so glad to say right now ~chorus (God. is. good.)
God Is
Now listen
If I never visit Paris
And enjoy that mid-day sun
If I never sail the seven seas oh...
Before my work down here is done, oh...
If I never see the ruins
Of that city they call ancient Rome
I'm not worried
Because I can still say God
I know that You've, You've been good
Lord You've been good, yeah
~chorus (Good)
Oh, Jesus You been um... good
