[katelynjohnson]

Man I am going through a really hard time. Even my faith is having a hard time. But this song was so encouraging and totally explained what I was feeling and it was just, I cried I’ll be honest. Thank you for this.

[jennicaconklin]

Your lyrics always grapple so profoundly with the difficult things. Thank you for them. I always end up with tears streaming down my face when I stop and carefully listen to the words of your songs. Thank you for using your gifts to help bring us closer to our savior.

LYRICS
Do You remember how Mary was grieving?
How You wept and she fell at Your feet?
If it's true that You know what I'm feeling
Could it be that You're weeping with me?

Arise, O Lord, and save me
There's nowhere else to go

You're always good, always good
Somehow this sorrow is shaping my heart like it should
And You're always good, always good

Well it's so hard to know what You're doing
Why won't You tell it all plain?
But You said You'd come back on the third day
And Peter missed it again and again

So maybe the answer surrounds us
But we don't have eyes to see

That You're always good, always good
This heartache is moving me closer than joy ever could
And You're always good

My God, my God, be near me
There's nowhere else to go
And Lord, if You can hear me
Please help Your child to know

That You're always good, always good
As we try to believe what is not meant to be understood
Will You help us to trust Your intentions for us are still good
'Cause You laid down Your life
And You suffered like I never could

You're always good, always good
You're always good, always good

[gillianstevenson]

You are always good. Heard this when I was very low in spirits thank you, faithful, wonderful Lord

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do You remember how Mary was grieving?
How You wept and she fell at Your feet?
If it's true that You know what I'm feeling
Could it be that You're weeping with me?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Arise, O Lord, and save me
There's nowhere else to go

[Chorus 1]
You're always good, always good
Somehow this sorrow is shaping my heart
Like it should
And You're always good, always good

[Verse 2]
It's so hard to know what You're doing
So why won't You tell it all plain?
But You said You'd come back on the third day
And Peter missed it again and again

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So maybe the answer surrounds us
And we don't have eyes to see

[Chorus 2]
You're always good, always good
This heartache is moving me closer than joy ever could
And You're always good

[Bridge]
My God, my God, be near me
There's nowhere else to go
And Lord, if You can hear me
Please help Your child to know

[Chorus 3]
That You're always good, always good
As we try to believe what is not meant
To be understood
Will You help us to trust Your intentions for us are still good?
'Cause You laid down Your life and You suffered like I never could

[Outro]
And You're always good, always good
You're always good, always good

I love how he writes his hymns in such a raw & touching manner. Like the lyrics are literally like a prayer. & that is just so beautiful.
