Good Good Father
Chris Tomlin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've heard a thousand stories of what they think you're like
But I've heard the tender whispers of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you're pleased
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

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

Because 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 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

Oh, it's love so undeniable
I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I, I can hardly think
As you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still
Into love, love, love

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'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'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're a good good father

You are perfect in all of your ways
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you




You are perfect in all of your ways
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am

If you have a bible read John 3:16 For God so loved the world He gave His Only Begotten Son (Jesus). That whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

You and all of us are a whosoever!

John 1:1 In the beging was the Word (Jesus) and the Word was with God and the Word was God.

John 1:12 But as many as received Him gave them power to become the sons of God. Even to those who believe on His name.

The reason this touches you is because you are feeling the love of the Living God. May I ask do you have these same feelings when you hear of things of allah? I pray that you will realize God's love like you never have before and that you can see the sacrifice Jesus made for you and I and all on the cross.
