You Are Good

by Gateway Worship

Theology & Meaning

A joyful declaration of God's foundational goodness. Theologically significant for grounding praise not in circumstance but in the character of God. Israel Houghton's original is re-engaged here for corporate congregational use.

Worship Leadership Tips

High-energy opener or celebration song. Works especially well when the congregation is recovering from difficulty — reclaiming the declaration of God's goodness as an act of faith, not feeling.

Arrangement Tips

Upbeat gospel-influenced feel. Full band with strong drum groove. Choir or backup vocals add richness. Consider a call-and-response section. Guitar-heavy rock version also effective for contemporary church settings.

Scripture References

Psalm 34:8
Mark 10:18
