Текст песни God Has Been Good - Fred Hammond

Thinkin' 'bout the months of the year
How they passed us by so fast
So many things to say, thank you God
If it wasn't for Your grace
I would not have come this far
I realize I needed You
I got joy on this Christmas Day
With my friends and my family
We share a common bond and it's love
You give us the very best
My life has now been blessed
I couldn't ask for anything better

You've been my strength and You've been my light
There was never a battle that I ever had to fight
So I wanna take the time and say
That on this holiday
God has been so good, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
God has been so good, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

When I look back through the years (Look back through the years)
All the laughter, all the tears (Laughter, all the tears)
I realize the reason for the season (Reason for the season)
Look at all the people pass
With their ribbons on their packages
Joy is spread everywhere
There's a choir down on the corner
Tryna get somebody to join 'em as they sing
(We wish you a Merry Christmas, ooh yeah)

Jesus Christ, the one in the manger
The spotlight is now on my Savior
He is born to set us free (Born to set us free)
He is the greatest gift that has ever been given to man
And woah, oh, what a friend, oh

He's my strength, He's my light, yeah
There has never been a battle that I've ever had to fight
So I wanna take the time to say
That every holiday
God has been so good, say yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
God has been so good, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I got my family and friends (Family and friends)
Together once again (Together once again)
And everybody knows the reason for the season
God has been so good, say yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
God has been so good, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Say, down through the years (Down through the years)
All the laughter, all the tears (Laughter, all the tears)
But we all know the reason for the season
Say yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
God has been so good, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Family and friends (Family and friends)
Together once again (Together once again)
But everybody knows the reason for the season
Put your hands in the air, say good, good (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say good, good, good, good, say good, good (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Say down through the years (Down through the years)
All the laughter, all the tears (Laughter, all the tears)
But God has been good
Don't you know God has been good? (He's the reason)
Say yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
