Goodness and Mercy
Embracing Life's Tapestry: A Journey of Divine Goodness and Mercy
Lyrics
Looking over my shoulder I’m wondering what could be next
Reflecting on the past, anticipating the future
Discovering just who You are I begin to expect
Discovering the true nature of God and developing expectations
Your goodness will track me wherever I go
Belief that God's goodness will always be present
I cannot hide and You won’t withhold
Feeling unable to hide from God, who is generous
Your Goodness and mercy
Emphasizing the enduring qualities of God
Will follow me all of my life
God's goodness and mercy persist throughout life
Your goodness and mercy
Reiteration of the lasting presence of God's goodness and mercy
Your goodness and mercy
Reinforcing the idea of God's enduring qualities
All of Your goodness and mercy
Stressing that all of God's goodness and mercy will follow
Will follow me all of my life
Repetition of the idea that God's qualities persist
Around every corner I find You with arms open wide
Finding God's welcoming presence at every turn
Breathless from anticipation I open my eyes
Excitement and anticipation of God's blessings
I see all the good that You’ve had in store
Recognizing the positive things God has in store
Every promise I've ever hoped for
Acknowledging the fulfillment of God's promises
Your goodness and mercy
Reiterating the perpetual nature of God's goodness and mercy
Will follow me all of my life
Continuation of the theme of God's enduring qualities
Your goodness and mercy
Restating the lasting presence of God's goodness and mercy
Your goodness and mercy
Emphasizing the enduring nature of God's positive attributes
All of Your goodness and mercy
Affirming that all of God's goodness and mercy will follow
Will follow me all of my life
Repetition of the idea that God's qualities persist
Oh, Your goodness and mercy
Expressing awe and recognition of God's goodness and mercy
Your goodness and mercy
Reiteration of the lasting presence of God's goodness and mercy
All of Your goodness and mercy
Affirming that all of God's goodness and mercy will follow
Will follow me all of my life
Repetition of the idea that God's qualities persist
You say, "come and feast"
