You've Been Good to Me

Title: “You’ve Been Good to Me” Intro (Call and Response): Leader: Has He been good? Choir: He’s been so good! Leader: Has He made a way? Choir: Yes, He made a way! Verse 1: I don’t need a reason, I don’t need a sign, Just look back one time—He’s been on time. Bills were due, peace was low, But somehow, You made it overflow. Pre-Chorus: Didn’t always see it, but now I know— You were working miracles slow and low. Doors You opened, chains You broke— Every trial was a holy note. Chorus: You’ve been good to me (real good!) Better than I could ever be (so good!) Every breath I breathe is proof I see— You’ve been good, You’ve been good to me! Clap my hands, lift my voice, Ain’t no rock gonna steal my choice! All I am will always be— Grateful, Lord, You’ve been good to me! Verse 2: Lost some friends, made some plans, Watched ‘em fall right through my hands. But You stayed when they all left— Gave me purpose, gave me rest. Pre-Chorus: I could write a book, I could sing all day, Still won’t match the price You paid. Mercy woke me, grace held tight, Joy came running in the night. Chorus: You’ve been good to me (real good!) Better than I could ever be (so good!) Every breath I breathe is proof I see— You’ve been good, You’ve been good to me! Stomp my feet, raise my praise, You’ve been faithful all my days! Now and forever I decree— Lord, You’ve been good to me! Bridge (Breakdown): (Clap + Repeat) Good in the valley, good on the hill, Good in the quiet, good when it’s real. Good when I’m up, good when I’m down— Ain’t no question, You’re still around! Final Chorus (Drive it home): You’ve been good to me (yes, Lord!) Overflowing endlessly (hallelujah!) Every trial just helped me see— You’ve been good, You’ve been good to me! So I’ll dance, I’ll shout, Tell the world what You’re about! Grateful, Lord, eternally— You’ve been good to me! Tag (Repeat and fade): You’ve been good to me… You’ve been good to me…
