You Are Good
Jeff Deyo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some would say that You cannot be found
And some would say that You are far away
But I know You're the God who lives in me
And I know You will always have my heart.

'Cause you are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good, you are good.

Some would say that You cannot be found
And some would say that You are far away
But I know You're the God who lives in me
And I know You will always have my heart.

'Cause you are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good, you are good.

You are the only One
You are the One that I desire
You are the only One, my King.

'Cause you are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good, you are good.

'Cause you are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good
And Your love endures forever
You are good, you are good.

You are the only One
You are the One that I desire
You are the only One, my King.

You are the only One




You are the One that I desire
You are the only One, my King.

you are good. thank you for watching me today. give me a peaceful mind and heart as I sleep. i place what little faith I have in you, and know you will grow it. many say you can't be found, that you are far. But my heart, despite the harsh message life has written on it, still yearns to seek you out. I can't describe why or how. i want to thank you.

The Watlingtons

need the extended instrumental.
It was awesome in my youth.....i need it as an adult.

The Watlingtons I used to listen to these with some of my friends when we had the revival, man I just remember being wrapped in His arms. Had some deep and powerful times. I wish everyone would meet Jesus the way I did threw this album. These songs had been a huge blessing to me. What a joy it is to drink from His Spirit. We are so fortunate, blessed, highly favored, (:what ever phrase you wanna use there:) to have been found by Him, and cuddled by His love. How deeply satisfying. Man I want more of that again. When I can I come before Him again like that?:) So tired of living for myself. So tired of the sin. The tired of confusion, guilt, shame and condemnation. So tired of dead religion. So tired of these games. I just want God. Tired of self defeating lifestyle. Man I want God like that again. The cares of life just drown you with stuff. I’m tired of it man. I just want God. Nothing’s gonna matter anyway in the end, none of our material stuff will matter in light of eternity. Jesus, please help remember our first love and never ever chose the world over You. Amen!
