Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's who You are, it's who You are
It's who You are
Oh, I've heard a thousand stories of
What they think You're like
But I've heard the tender whisper of
Love in the dead of night
And that I'm never alone
You're a good, good Father
It's who You are, it's who You are
It's who You are and I'm loved by You
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
Oh, and I've seen many searching
For answers far and wide
But I know we're all searching
For answers only You provide
'Cause You know just what we need
Before we say a word
You're a good, good Father
It's who You are, it's who You are
It's who You are and I'm loved by You
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us
You're a good, good Father
It's who You are, it's who You are
It's who You are and I'm loved
You're a good, good Father
It's who You are, it's who You are
It's who You are and I'm loved by You
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
Oh
It's who You are, it's who You are
It's who You are and I'm loved by You
The lyrics of "Good Good Father" by Anthem Lights are a powerful declaration of faith and gratitude towards God as a loving and caring Father figure. The chorus repeats the affirmation that God is a good Father, emphasizing this aspect of His character. The repetition of "It's who You are" drives home the idea that God's goodness is an inherent part of His nature, unwavering and constant.
The first verse delves into the personal connection the singer has with God, recounting how they have heard countless stories and opinions about God, but it is in the quiet moments of reflection and prayer that they have truly felt God's love and presence. This intimate experience of feeling God's love, even in the midst of darkness, reassures the singer that they are not alone. This sentiment echoes the Christian belief in God's omnipresence and unwavering love for His children.
The second verse reflects on the universal human experience of seeking answers and fulfillment in life. The lyrics suggest that while people may search for answers in various places, ultimately, true fulfillment and meaning can only be found in God. The idea that God knows our needs even before we articulate them highlights His omniscience and care for His creation.
The bridge of the song focuses on God's perfection and His ways being perfect. This is a recognition of God's sovereignty and wisdom in all aspects of life. By acknowledging God's perfection, the singer expresses trust and surrender to His divine plan. The final repetition of "It's who You are and I'm loved by You" encapsulates the essence of the song - a profound realization of God's love and a statement of identity rooted in that love. This song serves as a reminder to listeners of the unconditional love and care that God provides as a Father to His children.
