A young woman delivered a chillingly beautiful cover of “Goodness of God.” The gifted singer displayed her immense musical abilities while singing the beloved contemporary Christian music tune. Check out the video to hear the woman’s rendition of the classic song.
Contemporary Christian music is an incredibly popular genre. When it comes to the church and music heard in places of worship, contemporary Christian music likely edges out hymns. More and more churches are opting to use songs by artists like Phil Wickham, Bethel Music, Matthew West and Elevation Worship for the praise and worship portion of their services.
Hymns and contemporary Christian music both have their negatives and positives. The debate over which is better for church services is likely to bring about strong opinions from people on both sides. Regardless of where you fall in that debate, there are standout, classic songs in both hymns and more modern, updated Christian songs. One contemporary Christian song that has quickly become a classic, known by worshippers worldwide, is “Goodness of God.”
In a clip posted on YouTube, one woman, Danielle Marie, belts out the lyrics to the timeless tune about God’s unending and all-encompassing goodness, love and faithfulness. It’s a dazzling performance and one that you’ll want to listen to repeatedly. Her voice is so clean, clear and crisp.
“’Cause all my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God”
As mentioned earlier, this song is a popular target for covers. Nearly every big or even remotely recognizable name in Christian music has performed this song at one time or another. Likely, the biggest reason for the song’s popularity among performers and listeners is that we can all relate to the lyrics. We’re all well acquainted with His goodness, faithfulness and grace – none of which we deserve.
Psalm 34:8 “By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.”
