How Good God Is Brandon Lake

1 Verse:
I didn't know the Healer 'til I needed healing
I didn't need a Savior or some kind of anchor 'til I lost my way
And I didn't know the Father 'til I felt like an orphan
And I didn't need a river, a gracious Forgiver, 'til my soul was stained
You took my hurting and gave it purpose

Chorus 1:
Thank God for the anger that forced me to pray
Thank God for the silence that taught me to wait
If He spared me from breaking, and God knows I did
Then I never would've ever known how good God is
I never would've ever known how good God is

2 Verse:
I didn't know the Spirit 'til I felt His power
I didn't see the light 'til He opened my eyes in my darkest hour
I didn't know the Lion 'til I heard His roar
When I was surrounded and couldn't fight without Him  not one second more

Chorus 1:
So thank God for the anger that forced me to pray
Thank God for the silence that taught me to wait
If He spared me from breaking, and God knows I did
Then I never would've ever known how good God is

Chorus 2:
Thank God for the weakness that showed me His strength
Thank God for the fire that forged me with faith
If He spared me from drifting as far as I did
Then I never would've ever known how good God is
I never would've ever known how good God is

Post-Chorus:
God is good, God is good, God is good
No, I never would've ever known how good God is
I never would've ever known how good God is

Chorus 3:
Thank God for His kindness to give up His Son
To sit there and watch as He says, "It is done"
If He spared Him from thorns and the nails through His wrists
Then I never would've ever known how good God is
I never would've ever known how good God is
