Christina Degazio & Kelly Garner
Verse 1:
I never dreamed I'd still be in this valley
I thought my God would rescue me by now
But come the darkest night
I'll walk by faith and not by sight
Chorus:
Even when God doesn't send a miracle
Even when He doesn't answer like I prayed He would
I still know my God is able
He is with me He is faithful
Yes I know, My God is still good
Verse 2:
So many times He's showered me with mercy
I've tasted and I've seen his boundless grace
I may not understand
The purpose in His mighty plan
But His love for me will never change
Chorus:
Even when God doesn't send a miracle
Even when He doesn't answer like I prayed He would
I still know my God is able
He is with me He is faithful
Yes I know, My God is still good
Bridge:
Every time I face a battle or feel like giving up
I'll remember that my God will always be enough
Chorus:
Even when God doesn't send a miracle
Even when He doesn't answer like I prayed He would
I still know my God is able
He is with me He is faithful
Yes I know, My God is still good

I belong to a church that didn't always sing this type of spiritual music. I was introduced to this when I joined the gospel choir in high school. The teacher was a nun who had left the church. While teaching in an inner city school she learned to play this music and brought it back to the church. This caused some problems in the church but once they saw the influx of youth returning to the church the problems were no longer an issue. Thank God for her persistence.
