Lyrics:

Now, I hope y’all don’t mind if I take my time tonight…
See, today’s music got them fast rhythms…
and I ain’t knockin’ ‘em none… (no sir!)
But sometimes… ohhh sometimes…
You gotta slow it down…
Sometimes… you gotta moan…
Sometimes… you gotta cry!

‘Cause I don’t wanna lose the words…
I don’t wanna lose the meanin’…
I want y’all… to feel it… (feel it!)
I want y’all… to hear me… when I tell ya…
How good… my Jesus… is… to me!

And I ain’t talkin’ about a little bit of good…
I’m talkin’ ‘bout mighty, mighty good!
Down through the years… He’s been faithful… He’s been strong…
And I can testify… oh yes I can testify…
That my Lord… He’s been good… to me!”

Down through the years…
You’ve been mighty, mighty good to me…

Down through the years…
You’ve been mighty, mighty good to me…

[Chorus]
[Lead:] He’s been good…
[Echo (band/backing vocal): ](Good! Mmmhmm!)
[Lead:] He’s been good…
[Echo:] (Oh yes he has!)
Through the storm and the rain…
Heartache and pain…
My Lord’s been good to me!

[Verse 1]
I shoulda been dead… sleepin’ in my grave…
But the Lord… He stepped in… and He made old death behave…
When I was lost… and lonely… didn’t have no friend…
The Lord reached way down… picked me up again!

“When I look back over my life…
I see where He brought me from…
I can’t help but lift my voice and tell it…

I should’ve been gone a long time ago…
But His mercy… His grace… kept me…
Every storm… in midnight hour… He was right there…

And even if nobody else knows it…
I know He’s already done more than enough for me…”

[Verse 2]
The devil had me bound…
But Jesus set me free!
Chains all around…
He broke ‘em off of me!
Now I’ve got a fire… burnin’ in my soul…
Holy Ghost power—can’t let it go!

[Chorus]
He’s been good…
He’s been good…
Through the storm… through the rain…
Heartache and pain…
My Lord’s been good to me!

[Bridge]
Fix me, Jesus… ohhhh fix me, Lord…
Jesus, I come here standing… but, I’ll bow down on my knees!…
I know, I KNOW, I KNOW…
You’ve been good to me!

[Vamp / Outro]
Good! (so good, so good!)
Good! (Mighty good!)
Down through the years…
Been good to me!
So good…
My Lord’s been good to me!
