Good Good Father
Housefires 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 whisper
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
Because You know just what we need
Before we even say a word

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

Love so undeniable
I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
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...

Overall Meaning

Housefires's song Good Good Father is a deep and powerful expression of a personal relationship with God as a loving and caring Father figure. The first verse acknowledges that there are many different interpretations of God's nature and character, but the singer has experienced a deep, tender love and acceptance from God directly that cannot be explained. The simple but profound chorus repeats the affirmation of God's fatherly love and care, and emphasizes that it is a core aspect of who God is.


The second verse reflects on the common human experience of searching for answers and meaning in life. The singer notes that although many possible answers are available, ultimately it is only through a relationship with God that true understanding and fulfillment can be found. This understanding arises from the profound knowledge that God already knows and understands everything about us, even before we are able to express it.


The final lines of the song highlight the transformative power of love and peace that comes from connecting with God as a Father. The repetition of "love, love, love" expresses both a surrender to this love and a recognition of its endless depths. The simple guitar and vocals create a contemplative and meditative mood that allows the listener to connect with the powerful emotions expressed in the lyrics.
