God's Been Good - C.T. & Becky Townsend

We'll I can't believe I'm sittin' here today Picking on my banjo with a big smile on my face Writin' new words to an old school melody Hey, there ain't no doubt that god's been good to me Oh, the sun is shinin' on down in Tennessee And right now I'm right where I wanna be I've never felt so loved, so peaceful and so free Hey, there ain't no doubt that god's been good to me 'Cause he put me smack dab in the middle of paradise In the heart of the city where my dreams have come alive And everything I have and everything I see Is just another reminder that god's been good to me. The golden road's been long And sometimes I've lost my way I've been down some darkened detours Leanin' heavy on my faith But where the devil had me chained Lord, your love done set me free Hallelujah! God's been good to me. 'Cause he put me smack dab in the middle of paradise In the heart of the city where my dreams have come alive And everything I have and everything I see Is just another reminder that god's been good to me. 'Cause he put me smack dab in the middle of paradise In the heart of the city where my dreams have come alive And everything I have and everything I see Is just another reminder that god's been good to me...

There is a blood That cost a life That paid my way Death its price When it flowed Down from the cross My sins were gone My sins forgot There is a grave That tried to hide This precious blood That gave me life In Three Days He breathed again And rose to stand in my defense So I come to tell you He's alive To tell you that He dries every tear that falls So I come to tell you that He saves To shout and to proclaim that He's coming back for you This Life, This Price, This Blood, This One There is a Blood That sights the blind That Heals the sick The lonely finds It has the Power To free the bound As chains they fall Upon the ground So pour it out and To cleanse my soul And let's liquid Glory flow Because it lives To make me whole I owe my life I owe my soul

Out on the waters storms raging high, The waters around them were trouble that night, Fear filled their hearts they felt they would die, They failed to remember that the Master was nigh, He spoke the words and winds all stood still Even the waters obey His will, He calmed their storm like He will mine, If I just remember He lives deep inside. Why should I worry why should I fear, When the very same Jesus He stays always near, He lives in my heart and He hears when I cry, I'll call on His name till the storm passes by. We read in the bible when He walked with them, Brought light to the darkness when the way grew dim, How great it would be to have his footsteps in mine, And walk with the master all of the time, And when trials come and death seems so nigh, I'll call on the master I know he'll get there on time, And when sickness comes and my body's in pain All I have to do is call on his name. Why should I worry why should I fear, When the very same Jesus He stays always near, He lives in my heart and He hears when I cry, I'll call on His name till the storm passes by. Why should I worry why should I fear, When the very same Jesus He stays always near, He lives in my heart and He hears when I cry, I'll call on His name till the storm passes by. Why should I worry why should I fear, When the very same Jesus He is always so near, He lives in my heart and He hears when I cry, I'll call on His name till the storm passes by. Just call on His Name till your storm passes by
