8. “Goodness of God” — Bethel Music

Slide 4 of 4

It’s difficult to view something like anxiety as “good,” but we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).

We are not called to understand everything. Rather, we are called to be faithful through everything. We trust that through it all, God is faithful to us.

We are promised that there will be seasons that will try us in the fire. Those seasons refine us, and the pressure produces something great.

As this song shows, we never stay in the fire. We are led through the fire. God is always with us.

I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
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 I have lived in the goodness of God

And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

The title says it all. Whatever battle you are facing, whatever struggles surround you, whatever heartache you are feeling…it all belongs to God.

It’s another song of surrender. While the world might think the way to fight a battle is through our own strength, the lyrics show how our strength actually comes when surrendering — on our knees, submitting our worries to God.

What seems like a battle for us is a chance for us to see victory in Christ.

So when I fight, I’ll fight on my knees
With my hands lifted high
Oh God, the battle belongs to You

And every fear I lay at Your feet
I’ll sing through the night
Oh God, the battle belongs to You

Nothing can replace spending time in prayer and studying the Word of God when dealing with anxiety. But worship music can help people connect with Scripture and Biblical truth in a unique way.

Make a playlist that you can go to in the midst of anxious seasons. Start with these songs and rest in the truth that the lyrics speak.
