God is so good

i was flying to florida just recently

and i was seated next to a surgeon.

“sir?

you know what, sir?

i know you would find this hard to believe

but do you know what i did at 5:00 a.m.

this morning?

i just happened to awaken out of a dark sleep,

and sir, i just lay in bed and cried.

because you see, sir,

i am a Christian

and Jesus is the Lord of my life.

and sir,

i’m so glad that He walks with me

and that He even chose to invade my life

and live in my humble apartment

and laugh with me

and cry with me

and understand me.

sir,

do you know what i did at 5:00 this morning?

i just slipped out of my bed

on my knees

just to weep out my love for Him.

i love Him, sir.

He is more than just a great God high above,

He’s the Lord of my life.

He puts His hand on my shoulder

and He wipes my tears.

i hear Him laughing when i laugh,

i feel His silence when i am silent.”

the surgeon turned and shook his head and said

“young lady,

some people might laugh at you,

but i’d like to have that kind of faith in God,

how did you find it?”

“c. s. lewis says,

‘either we say Jesus Christ is a great man,

or we fall on our faces and say,

He is the Lord.’

i have problems,

as a matter of fact,

in my own private world

in a way i can’t share.

i am walking the loneliest road i’ve ever walked,

i didn’t know a desert could be so dry

but i love Him,

i really love Him.

and i know a simple girl named ann doesn’t walk alone;

great big Lord has chosen to invade her life

and walk with her.

He is so good.”

God is so good.

God is so good, God is so good.

He’s so good to me.

if you have eyes to see

or a little boy next to you

or if you have someone to call a friend

if you felt the warm sunlight in your face today

or saw the blue sky and laughed

you must know what it means to sing

‘God is so good.’

if you know what it feels like to laugh with God,

to have fallen flat on your face

and have Him reach out

and say i still love you, take my hand;

to feel Him lift your guilt,

to ease your pain,

to have Him soothe your tired,

worn, broken heart,

then you must understand how good He is

so sing with me,

God is so good.

God is so good, God is so good.

He’s so good to me.

i love Him so,

i love Him so, i love Him so.

He’s so good to me.
