Cultivation Worship's rendition of 'Goodness of God' by Bethel Music is a beautiful acoustic cover, with an intimate blend of acoustic guitar, cello, a strong female lead, and male background vocals. It's a version they made for their church services, and loved so much by the congregation that the band decided to share it with the world.
For anyone who is not that familiar with the song, the main theme of the song is about God's unwavering faithfulness (dispite everything we do to counter that) and His enduring goodness that is there to enter every moment of our lives (if we let Him in), and invites us to respond with gratitude and praise.
It is because of His goodness that we can wake up each morning and lay our head down each night, fully aware that we are held in His loving hands. 'I love You, Lord // Oh, Your mercy never failed me // All my days, I've been held in Your hands,' the lyrics remind us that from dawn till dusk, we can experience His goodness.
As the song unfolds with personal testimonies of God's faithfulness, tenderly sung, it becomes easier to open the door to your heart to Him, because: 'In the darkest night, You are close like no other // I've known You as a Father, I've known You as a Friend.' And that is exactly what He want to be for you as well… a Father and a Friend, ready with his comforting embrace, hoping that you'll remember His endless goodness even when you face some of life's toughest moments.
The chorus, 'All my life You have been faithful // And all my life You have been so, so good,' strikes deep, especially when one realizes how often we push Him away with our actions, words, and sometimes giving Him the 'silent treatment'. The chorus acts for so many as a personal anthem, a constant reminder that He never leaves you.
So, go ahead and hit play, and may Cultivation Worship's rendition of 'Goodness of God' encourage you to enjoy God's warm embrace today.
