Good Good Father
by Chris Tomlin
Theology & Meaning
This song reflects on God as a kind and trustworthy Father and on our identity as loved children. It helps heal distorted pictures of God by emphasizing His goodness and care. The focus is on receiving love more than proving worth.
Worship Leadership Tips
Use this when your church needs to sit under the Father's heart, especially around Father's Day or in contexts with deep father wounds. Offer pastoral language that acknowledges broken experiences while pointing to the perfect love of God. It can be especially meaningful in slower, reflective sets.
Arrangement Tips
Keep the feel gentle and steady, allowing room for people to really sing the simple melody. Avoid over extending repetition so the song does not feel sentimental. Consider a moment of spoken prayer over the congregation between sections.
