God is Good
For Carol, John and Patti Romans 8:28—“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

I don’t know why they were allowed to wound your spirit,
I don’t know why you had to suffer for so long;
I can’t explain why some are spared and some endure,
And how some still go on.

I don’t know why some are gone before their time,
I don’t know why, for some, the pain goes on and on;
I cannot see the bigger picture, how it all can work for good,
But just one thing I know—

God is good, God is faithful.
He was there and held your hand,
When you could not understand.
He is here, He is a Healer,
When the tears seemed to overflow,
Love was there, never letting go.


I don’t know why the questions never seem to end,
I don’t know why, I’m called to trust Him yet again;
I cannot see the bigger picture, how it all can work for good,
But one thing I see, and know, and I will always confess—

God is good, God is faithful.
He’s right here and holds your hand,
When you cannot understand.
He is here, He is a Healer.
When the tears seem to overflow,
Reach out for Love, He won’t let you go.


My faith is strong, I still believe
In the goodness of God, and His care for me
I don’t know need to know ev’ry reason why
All I need to know
Is that He hears my cry!

God is good, God is faithful
He is with you now, was with you then,
Poured His love again and again.
He is here, He is a Healer;
Hold onto Him and don’t let go,
He loves you more than you will ever, ever, ever know

God is good.
