You are God and I am not
So take Your place above my life
With everything and all I am
I’m holding on to Your plan
My life is not my own
So come and take control
‘Cause You alone are good
You are good, all the time, and Your love endures forever
You are good, all the time, You are good
You are good, all the time, and Your love endures forever
You are good, all the time, You are good
You are good!
There’s no other name, no other name like Jesus (Jesus)
There’s no other name, no other name like Jesus (Jesus)
(repeat 3x)
