INTRO

VERSE 1

You’ve been better to me
Than I could ever have hoped You
would be
You took the mess that I was
And You have done some incredible
things
You’ve been better to me
Than I could ever have hoped You
would be
You took the mess that I was
And You have done some incredible
things

PRE-CHORUS

You always knew there was a better
me But You loved me like I was
Filling up the spaces in between
You’ve always been enough

CHORUS 1

Nobody else as good
Nobody else as kind
Nobody else would lay their life
Down on the line
Nobody else could do it
Even if they tried
Nobody else could come and save me
every time

CHORUS 2

You’ve been just that good,
You’re good to me
You’ve been just that good,
So good to me
Lord without Your love
Where would I be
Oh my God You’ve sure been
Good to me

You always knew there was a better
me But You loved me like I was
Filling up the spaces in between

Sure Been Good (Feat. Tiffany Hudson) - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]

The song "Sure Been Good" by Elevation Worship is a heartfelt testament to God's unending love and grace. It echoes the sentiments found in Ephesians 2:4-5, "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." The lyrics of the song and this verse both acknowledge the transformative power of God's love, which takes us from our messy, sinful state and turns us into something beautiful and worthy.

 

The song's chorus, "Nobody else as good, Nobody else as kind, Nobody else would lay their life down on the line," is a powerful reminder of the unique love of Jesus, who laid down His life for us. This is mirrored in John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." The song and the scripture both emphasize the unparalleled sacrifice Jesus made for us, a testament to His love and kindness.

 

The bridge of the song, "You didn't have to save my soul, But You did and I won't forget it," is a poignant reminder of God's grace. It resonates with Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Both the song and the scripture highlight the fact that God's love is not dependent on our worthiness but is a gift freely given.

 

The song ends with a powerful declaration, "Oh my God You’ve sure been Good to me." This echoes the sentiments of Psalm 23:6, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Both the song and the scripture affirm the enduring goodness of God in our lives.

 

Reflecting on these parallels between the song and scripture, we are reminded of the transformative power of God's love and grace. It prompts us to ask ourselves, "How have I experienced God's transformative love in my life? How can I extend this love to others?" This introspection not only deepens our understanding of God's love but also challenges us to be vessels of His love in the world.
