Good

I used to think grace was a ladder
Every sinner had to climb
If only I could just do better
I could earn it over time
Tried to work my way to good
Trouble is I never could
But then You showed me
Just exactly how grace works

I’m good at always falling down
You’re good at never giving up
I’m good at getting turned around
You’re good at saying I’m still loved
And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I’m not loved because I’m worthy
I’m loved because You’re good

I think Paul wrote the book of Romans
For people just like me
For all the beat up and the broken
Who need to know that grace is free
Why do I do the things I shouldn’t
And I don’t do the things I should
That’s just the proof
You’re the only part of me
That’s good

I’m good at always falling down
You’re good at never giving up
I’m good at getting turned around
You’re good at saying I’m still loved
And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I’m not loved because I’m worthy
I’m loved because You’re good

Loved because You’re God
I’m loved because You’re faithful to me even when I’m not
Oh God You are so good
When there’s nothing good in me
Just a grateful sinner saved by You
Is all I have to be

I’m good at always falling down
You’re good at never giving up
I’m good at getting turned around
You’re good at saying I’m still loved
And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I’m not loved because I’m worthy
I’m loved because You’re good

Loved because You’re God
I’m loved because You’re faithful to me even when I’m not
Oh God You are so good
When there’s nothing good in me
Just a grateful sinner saved by You
Is all I have to be

And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I’m not loved because I’m worthy
I’m loved because You’re good
