God's been Good

I know it's not yet Thanksgiving, and when that holiday comes I'll write a very lengthy post on how God has blessed and is blessing me this past year. However, it seems that lately I've just been really blessed in almost every area of my life. He is sooooo good to me!! It reminded me of a song that is sung often here at Shawnee, so I thought I'd share the lyrics with you:

God's Been Good

Lately I've been looking back,

along this winding road

To the old familiar markers

of the mercies I have known

I know it may sound simple

but it's more than a cliche

There's no better way to tell you, than to say...

God's been good in my life

I feel blessed beyond my wildest dreams

when I go to sleep each night

And though I've had my share of hard times,

I wouldn't change them if I could

'Cause through it all, God's been good

Times replay and I can see that

I've cried some bitter tears

But I felt His arms around me,

as I faced my greatest fears

You see I've had more gains than losses

and I've known more joy than hurt

As His grace rolled down upon me undeserved

For God has been my Father,

my Savior and my Friend

His love was my beginning,

and His love will be my end

I could spend forever trying

to tell you everything He is

But the best that I can say it is this...

God's been good in my life

I feel blessed beyond my wildest dreams

when I go to sleep each night

And though I've had my share of hard times,

I wouldn't change them if I could

'Cause through it all, God's been good
