I didn't know the Healer till I needed healing
I didn't need a Savior or some kind of Anchor till I lost my way

And I didn't know the Father
Till I felt like an orphan
I didn't need a river, a Gracious Forgiver till my soul was stained

You took my hurting and gave it purpose

Thank God for the anger that forced me to pray
Thank God for the silence that taught me to wait
If He spared me from breaking and God knows I did
Then I never would've ever known how good God is
I never would've ever known how good God is

I didn't know the Spirit, till I felt His power
I didn't see the Light, till He opened my eyes in my darkest hour
I didn't know the Lion, till I heard His roar
When I was surrounded, couldn't fight without Him, not one second more

Thank God for the anger that forced me to pray
Thank God for the silence that taught me to wait
If He spared me from breaking and God knows I did
Then I never would've ever known how good God is

Thank God for the weakness that showed me His strength
Thank God for the fire that forged me with faith
If He spared me from drifting as far as I did
Then I never would've ever known how good God is
I never would've ever known how good God is

God is good
God is good
God is good
No, I never would've ever known how good God is
I never would've ever known how good God is

Thank God for His kindness to give up His Son
To sit there and watch as He says It is done
If He spared Him from thorns and the nails through His wrists
Then I never would've ever known how good God is

I never would've ever known how good God is
