Good to Me by Psalms, Hymns and Songs
Lyrics:
I cry out
for your hand of mercy to heal me,
for I am weak,
and I need your love to free me.
Oh Lord, my Rock,
my strength in weakness,
come rescue me oh Lord.
You are my hope, and your promise never fails me,
And my desire is to follow you forever.
For you are good, for you are good,
For you are good to me.
For you are good, for you are good,
For you are good to me.
