He impart.
Now you see, I sing my song because I′m so happy.
Then I just sing, sing my song because I'm so free.
And I sing my song because the Lord has been so good to me.
Been good.
Ain't gotta ask nobody I know he been good, been good.
I just wonder is there anybody here tonight, could raise your hand and tell somebody he′s been good, so good.
Yeasssh, I know He been good to me!
That ain′t all he done for me, He gave me faith conquered all, all of my fears.
Then He gave me hope yall beyond all of my tears.
Then one day He went way out on a place called Calvary!
Don't you know, I′ve got a right to tell somebody, He been good, He been good to me!
Anybody else here, I may not have what I think I want, but He still been good to me, sometimes it seem like I can't hardly make it, but still I have to say you been good to me!
So good, to me!
Yeah, I know He been good to me!
Just to name a few thing that he done for me.
Last night when I lay down in my bed, didn′t even have enough knowledge to go to sleep yall, but he didn't leave me, he didn′t leave me he stood right by my bedside all night long, early this morning, early this morning!
He reached down and touch me with His wakenin power, let my eyes come open to behold a new day he already unraveled in my life.
I know He good to me, I know He good to me, I wonder if anybody else here know He been good, I know He been good to me!
I know it been good to me!

I remember when the shooting happened in the school out west.
I was sitting there watching tv when the news come over the screen you know I thought about that same thing could happen and pointed top high school that's what my children go but then when I looked out of my window and I see them coming up the driveway I said Lord you're good to me! I know you′re good to me!
