This week’s featured song story comes to us from Francesca Battistelli. We’re excited to share with you the story behind her song “God Is Good.”
“A few years ago a good friend of ours went through a devasting loss and I really wanted to write a song that would honor what he went through, really speak to that idea of how tragedy affects our lives. At one point or another it does affect us. I think if the last year and a half has taught us anything it’s that we’re not immune to difficult times. It’s been a hard season. This song has brought me a lot of comfort because through it all there’s one constant and that is that God is good.” – Francesca Battistelli

“God Is Good” – Francesca Battistelli
“God Is Good” Lyrics
Third grade
I drew my dreams on a blank page
My own silver screen
Painted sun, never rain
And love without pain
It’s funny
That life I designed never played out
Like I had in mind
Had some highs hit the ground
Some ups that went down
But one thing that I figured out
Joy comes, tears fall
I’m learning there is beauty in it all
It’s not hard to find it, you just have to look
Oh, God is good
I’ve said
Hellos and goodbyes and I’ve held my friends while they’ve cried
Tasted bitter and sweet
Those moments between
Oh, He’s had His hand on everything
Joy comes, tears fall
I’m learning there is beauty in it all
It’s not hard to find it, you just have to look
Oh, God is good
We’re all young, then we’re old
Kids have kids of their own
And the days just keep moving, moving
If there’s one thing I know
True wherever I go
He is with me forever, through it all
Joy comes, tears fall
I’m learning there is beauty in it all
Joy comes, tears fall
But I’m learning there is beauty in it all
It’s not hard to find it, you just have to look
Oh, God is good
Oh, God is good
