So Good
The Williams Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish Paul and Silas were here right now
And they'd tell that God is so good,
(so good, so good).
I wish that woman from Samaria could be right here
And she'd tell you that God is
(so good, so good).
(at the well one day),
And she went running and rejoicing
(along the way);
She ran back to town
To tell everybody God is
So good, so good.
Verse 3:
So good, so good.
So good, so good.
So good, so good.
So good, so good.
Rescued Daniel (in the lion's den),
And He did all of this (way back then);
And you ask me and I'll tell you again and again,
So good, so good.
Chorus:
So good, so good.
Verse 4:
You ought to let Him in
(into your life),
I'm not talking about man but
(Jesus Christ).
Vamp:
He's alright Verse 1:
Ought to be somebody out there
Who knows that God is so good,
(so good, so good).
Ought to be somebody out there
Who knows that God is so good,
(so good, so good).
Stepped in the furnace
(a long time ago),
Had ole' Shadrach, Meshach
(and Abendigo);
They came running back to town
To tell everybody God is
So good, so good
The Williams Brothers' "So Good" is a gospel song that exalts the greatness of God. In the second verse, the singer wishes that biblical figures like Paul, Silas, and the woman from Samaria were present to testify that God is good. The woman in question is the Samaritan woman who had an encounter with Jesus Christ at the well in John 4:7-26. The singer highlights her excitement of running back to her town to tell everyone about Jesus.
The third verse of the song appreciates God's goodness and recounts some of the remarkable accounts of God's power from the Bible. Daniel was rescued from the lion's den, and this event is retold in the Old Testament book of Daniel. The singer encourages the listener to keep telling others about God's goodness. The fourth verse urges the listener to accept Jesus into their life, emphasizing that it's not about man, but it is about Jesus Christ.
The chorus of the song simply repeats the notion that "God is so good," while the "vamp" affirms that Jesus Christ is "alright." The song is a testimony to the greatness of God and emphasizes the importance of sharing the message of His love and mercy.
