God, because of his love, kindness, protection, mercy and grace, deserves all our praise and worship and even then, that would not be enough.
The song “Don’t Get Me Started” by the Housefires is about the infinite wonder and awesomeness of God. In addition to being a loving and merciful God, His Word states He is always faithful and good.
The song begins by declaring that God’s goodness and faithfulness are so abundant and readily apparent that attempting to explain them would require a massive amount of time.
Instead, the lyrics warn that “don’t even get me started on His faithfulness” and “don’t even get me started on His goodness.” Why? Because as the singer states, they could talk about God’s faithfulness and goodness “all day long.”
Additionally, the song declares that their testimony, which includes examples of God’s goodness and faithfulness, would go on for quite some time. The lyrics state that “even a lifetime would never be enough” to accurately tell their testimony.
The Old Testament book Deuteronomy mentions that the Lord is always with us, regardless of the situation. Deuteronomy 31:8 reads, “And the Lord, he it is that does go before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you, neither forsake you: fear not, neither be dismayed.”
As far as the goodness of God is concerned, there is no one else who could possibly be considered as good. In Luke 18:19, Jesus, in speaking with a rich ruler, stated that not even He is good, but that “none is good, save one, that is, God.”
God is good and faithful, freely giving to and blessing those who call upon His name. This song from the Housefires serves as a terrific reminder of the Lord’s many blessings in our life!
Deuteronomy 7:9 “Know therefore that the Lord your God, he is God, the faithful God, which keeps covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.”
