GOOD GOOD FATHER - CHRIS TOMLIN//COVERS BY DEREK

Derek Charles Johnson’s performance of “Good Good Father”

Written by Anthony Brown and Pat Barrett with well-known renditions by Chris Tomlin, Zealand Worship, and Housefires

I love the honesty of a song like Good Good Father which starts out “I’ve heard a thousand stories of what they think You’re like.” It acknowledges that people have many varying views of who God is and what they believe about His nature. But as we listen and worship through the song, it’s as if it states “this is Who He is (He’s a good good Father) and there’s nothing that can change it.” Perfect in all of His ways, good to us, loving and kind…these attributes are known by those who seek Him and desire to walk in fellowship with Him. Yes we need songs that balance out the loving nature of God with His holiness and righteousness. There are songs that do that. But as we are reminded of God’s righteousness, we must also know He loves us. Deeply. This song (written by Anthony Brown and Pat Barrett) helps us understand just how good our Father is. We may have had imperfect fathers. We may be imperfect as dads (I know I am!). But it’s good to know I can run to the One that is perfect. Who loves me with a love that nothing in this world can offer.

Well I've heard a thousand stories of what they think You're like
But I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night
And You tell me that You're pleased and that I'm never alone

You're a good, good Father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am

Well I've seen many searching for answers far and wide
And I know we're all searching for answers only You provide
'Cause You know just what we need before we say a word

You're a good, good Father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am

You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us
You are perfect in all of Your ways
God You’re perfect in all of Your ways
Oh You’re perfect in all of Your ways to us

And it's love so undeniable
I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I, I can hardly think
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still into love, love, love

You're a good, good Father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
You're a good, good Father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am

You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us
