[ story behind the song ]

This song flowed out of a private moment of praise when I was calling to mind God’s goodness to me throughout my life. It draws inspiration from Jeremiah’s words in Lamentations 3:22,23.

'Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness'

Martin Smith of Delirious? joined me on the What grace recording in this simple expression of wonder at God’s love and mercy.

[ lyrics ]

Lord you’ve been good to me
All my life, all my life
Your loving kindness never fails
I will remember
All you have done
Bring from my heart
Thanksgiving songs

New every morning is your love
Filled with compassion from above
Grace and forgiveness full and free
Lord you’ve been good to me

So may each breath I take
Be for you Lord, only you
Giving you back the life I owe
Love so amazing
Mercy so free
Lord you’ve been good
So good to me
