Zach Williams's song 'Far Too Good' reflects on human failure and God's relentless grace. The lyrics describe personal struggles with sin, shame, and the inability to earn God's love, while marveling at how God never walks away. Williams acknowledges taking God for granted but finds comfort in being accepted as he is. The song points to the cross as proof of God's love, emphasizing that God doesn't demand perfection but simply wants the heart.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

It?s the way that I can?t seem to get it right

Even though I?ve tried a million times

It?s the weight that I can?t carry

It?s the shame that I can?t bury 

Like a thorn that?s stuck here in my side 


It?s the times You?ve never turned to walk away

Even when I lie right to Your face

It?s the love that keeps on givin?

It?s the voice that says forgiven 

When you know I?ve abused You for Your grace 


Why did it take so long for me to notice

Why did it take so long for me to see

I took You for granted but You take me as I am

You?ve been far too good to a man like me 


Love like this is hard to understand

But the proof is in the scars upon Your hands

And I know I don?t deserve it

Heaven knows I try to earn it

But I fail ya time and time again 


There are parts of me that only You have seen

And I wouldn?t blame You if You tried to leave

But You never asked for perfect

You just told me I was worth it 

And my heart is all You want from me 


So why did it take so long for me to notice

And why did it take so long for me to see

I took You for granted but You take me as I am 


And why did it take so long for me to notice

Why did it take so long for me to see

I took You for granted but You take me as I am

You?ve been far too good to a man like me

You?ve been far too good to a man like me 


Still You?re far too good to a man like me
