so good to me

So Good to Me By: Cory Asbury

Verse:

I waited patiently upon the Lord

And He inclined and heard my cry
He pulled me up out of the miry clay
He set my feet upon the Rock
He gave me beauty for ashes and joy for my mourning
And praise for heaviness
He put a new song in my mouth and a crown upon my head
He gave me life forevermore
So good, so, so good to me, Jesus
And He placed my feet on the solid ground
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Chorus:

He’s been so good, so, so good to me; so good, so, so good to me

Post-chorus:

He picked me up and He turned me around

Tag:

I’ve got love, joy, peace and righteousness in the Holy Spirit

i have heard this song quite a few times and i sing it out loud. no joke. out loud. today it was one of the worship songs at church and i was not singing. the chorus came along once and i let it pass by. see; life wasn't perfect this morning. paul and i were not getting along. (believe it or not, our marriage isn't perfect and some of the most uncomfortable times are walking into church where people expect a smile. another reason i love our church because it's ok not to be ok. and it's really ok. they don't just say it's ok then talk about you later. again. no joke. ) so, as i stood next to my husband whom i love but i did not like i wasn't singing and i was thinking "he (God) isn't being so so good to me, i feel like complete poo and i am mad". then came the chorus a second time. i don't know if you are like me but 'christain' songs hit me and they hit me hard. and this time i started singing and God told me - i have been good to you, i have been so so good to you. honestly i stood there and began singing out loud and realizing that even though life isn't perfect God has been good to me and i know it once i get passed myself. 


and if that wasn't enough; we sit, we begin listening to our pastor talk and what does he say? the same thing! he quotes the song. he says what i have just told myself. and reiterates what God just told me. 


moral of the story? even if things aren't perfect, even if there is something wrong and even if it's something big; i promise you, if you follow Christ, he has been so so good to you. so sing it and sing it out loud.
