YOUR GOODNESS IS RUNNING AFTER ME

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

If I were a singer (and I am not) this song would be my musical testimony.  I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and everyday, I celebrate His life, death, and resurrection.  I am an old man now and as I look back over my life I bear witness to the truth of the following words.  

Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God


All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God


You have led me through the fire
In darkest nights
You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a father
I’ve known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God


Your goodness is running after, 

it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, 

it’s running after me
With my life laid down, 

I’m surrendered now, 

I give You everything
Your goodness is running after,

 it’s running after me


Goodness of God
