How good it is to hear the words you’ve spoken
To take your love and offer it to all
To take your hope to where your world is broken
To help and heal and lift up those who fall
How good it is to know your love and feel it
To know how tenderly you love us all
How good it is to be your people gathered
To feel the touch of your amazing grace
To know you care and that to you we matter
To sense your presence filling up this place
How good it is that your love lasts forever
You fill our hearts just as you fill this space
How good it is to know you long for justice
To know the peace you long to bring to bear
How good it is to spend time in your presence
To know you’re with us here and everywhere
How good it is to fully know forgiveness
To be the flock safe in your shepherd’s care
How good it is to worship you together
To join our voices, praising you as one
Your love so boundless, far beyond all measure
Inviting all and bidding us belong
How good it is that your love lasts forever
How good to rest in you our whole life long
