Goodness of God

Christafari's song "Goodness of God" is a deeply moving expression of gratitude and reverence towards the divine. The lyrics are a testament to the unwavering faithfulness and mercy of God, as experienced by the singer throughout their life. From the very first line, "I love you, Lord, for your mercy never fails me," the song sets a tone of heartfelt devotion. The singer acknowledges that from the moment they wake up until they lay their head to rest, they are constantly aware of and grateful for God's goodness.

The recurring theme of God's faithfulness is emphasized throughout the song. The lines "All my life you have been faithful, and all my life you have been so, so good" highlight a lifetime of divine support and benevolence. This sense of enduring faithfulness is further illustrated through personal anecdotes, such as being led through difficult times and feeling God's presence in the darkest nights. The singer's relationship with God is multifaceted, describing God as both a father and a friend, which adds layers of intimacy and trust to the narrative.

One of the most powerful metaphors in the song is the idea of God's goodness "running after" the singer. This imagery suggests an active, almost relentless pursuit of the singer by divine goodness, emphasizing that God's love and mercy are not passive but actively seeking to bless and support. The act of surrender, as mentioned in the lines "With my life laid down, I'm surrendered now, I give you everything," signifies a complete and willing submission to this divine goodness. The song culminates in a vow to continually sing of God's goodness, making it a perpetual act of worship and gratitude.
