So So Good

As we delve into the lyrics of Phil Wickham's "So So Good," we are reminded of the profound truth that God's goodness is not just a concept, but a reality that permeates every aspect of our lives. The song echoes the sentiments of Psalm 23:6, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life," and Psalm 34:8, "Taste and see that the Lord is good." These verses, like the song, invite us to reflect on the tangible ways God's goodness has manifested in our lives.

The lyrics, "This is my story, I'll testify, The blessings on blessings You've poured on my life," resonate with the essence of these Psalms. They remind us that our lives are a testament to God's goodness, a story of His blessings poured out in abundance. The song further mirrors the transformational power of God's grace, as depicted in the Bible. The lyrics, "Fear turns to worship, tears turn to praise, Chains of depression broken by grace," echo the sentiments of 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."

The song's chorus, "You've been so, so, so, so, so, so good to me," is a heartfelt declaration of God's unending goodness, a sentiment that is echoed throughout the Bible. It's a reminder of Lamentations 3:22-23, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." 

The bridge of the song, "When I say 'God is good,' you say 'All the time,' When I say 'All the time,' you say 'God is good,'" is a powerful affirmation of God's constant goodness, a truth that is echoed in Nahum 1:7, "The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him."

As we reflect on the lyrics of this song and the corresponding Bible verses, we are invited to consider the ways in which God's goodness has been evident in our own lives. We are encouraged to remember the blessings, the transformations, and the steadfast love that God has shown us. 

So, as we conclude, let's ponder this: How has God's goodness manifested in your life? How have you seen fear turn to worship, tears turn to praise, and chains of depression broken by grace? How can you testify to God's goodness in your life, and how can you share that testimony with others? Let's take a moment to reflect on these questions, and in doing so, deepen our understanding and appreciation of God's unending goodness.
