God Is Good

[Verse 1]
When the night ran long and my strength ran thin,
I heard hope like a song rise up within.
Through the dust, through the doubt, through the hard days too,
Waaqayyo gaarii dha—You carried me through.

[Chorus]
God is good when the road is rough,
God is good when I’ve had enough.
When I can’t see the way ahead,
Your steady love holds every step.

[Verse 2]
I’ve seen small mercies meet me at the door,
A little bread, a friend, a reason for more.
Even in tears, there’s a hand I can hold,
A faithful heart when the world feels cold.

[Bridge]
Not just when the skies are clear and blue,
In the unanswered prayers, You’re good there too.
I’ll say it softly, I’ll sing it loud:
Waaqayyo gaarii dha—good through every cloud.

[Outro]
God is good; I’ll trust somehow.
Waaqayyo gaarii dha, here and now.
