This is a song I heard by a group called 'Adopted', and it was on their CD 'In His Presence.' I really love the song and its message and I thought it fit in very well with the post I was writing.
If I never get to see another rainbow,
Or share another laugh with a friend.
If I never stand barefoot by the ocean,
Or get to kiss my child goodnight again.
If I never have another prayer that's answered,
Or have another blessing come my way,
If this is all I know of heaven's kindness,
Father I would still have to say-
You have been good! You have been good!
And I am in wonder how could it be!
You have been good! You've been so good!
In so many ways, you've been good to me!
You have shown me mercy upon mercy!
Grace upon grace, time after time.
I know all too well what I'm deserving,
But you are still so patient and kind!
You have been good! You have been good!
And I am in wonder how could it be!
You have been good! You've been so good!
In so many ways, you've been good to me!
If suddenly it all were ended,
And your blessing disappeared,
Looking back over a lifetime,
The evidence is clear,
You have been good! You have been good!
And I am in wonder how could it be!
You have been good! You've been so good!
In so many ways, you've been good to me!
Did you ever stop and think "Why did that have to happen?" or "Why to me?" There is one simple answer and once you understand it you will be able to accept all the things that happen to you in life. Are you ready? It is: God is good, all the time. So simple yet so profound.
God knows exactly what it is going to take for you to become exactly who He wants you to be. So everything that it takes for you to get to that point is 'good for you.'
He also wants you to praise and thank Him for what He sends you through. Once you can wholeheartedly do both of them you will be able to truly say: God is good, all the time. And have a smile on your face, and be able to tell others about what God is teaching you through it.
Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
It's so true! I really like the words of that song too; we know a song called "God is good", but it's different words... I also like the photo - did you take it?
