CeCe Winans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For Your mercy never fails me
All my days, I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
'Cause all my life You have been faithful
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night You are close like no other
I've known You as a Father
I've known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God, yeah
'Cause all my life You have been faithful, oh yes You have
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
With my life laid down, I surrendered now
I give You everything, oh Lord
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
With my life laid down, I surrendered now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after, it keeps running after me
And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God
I'm gonna sing
All my life You have been faithful
(All of my life You've been faithful)
All my life You have been so, so good
(So good with every breath)
every breath that I am able
(Every breath I'm able)
I will sing (I'm gonna sing)
Of the goodness (of the goodness of God, yes I am)
I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God
Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God
The verse of "Goodness of God" by CeCe Winans is a testament of faithfulness and devotion to the Lord. She sings of her love for God and how His mercy has never failed her. She has felt His presence during each waking moment and throughout the day until she lays her head to rest. This is an acknowledgement of God's omnipresence in all aspects of her life. She sings, with every breath she is able, she will sing of the goodness of God.
The chorus reinforces this declaration that the Lord has been faithful and good throughout her life. In response, she is committed to singing of the goodness of God as a way of showing her gratitude. She has felt God's presence during times when she felt like she was in a fiery furnace. Even when she couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, or feel His presence, she acknowledges that the Lord was with her. She has lived in the goodness of God and knows Him as a father and friend.

My son passed on May 26, 2022 from a car wreck 2 days before his 19th birthday. I opened his funeral with this song because even in my worst pain I know God is good, He is faithful, and He is running after me not just me but also my son that He took with Him. Keep my eyes on You, Lord and let me see my son again soon.
