The Goodness of Jesus
by CityAlight
Theology & Meaning
Steeped in the idea that Jesus Himself is our rest and satisfaction. Each verse emphasizes an aspect of Christ's sufficiency: that in our weakness, His grace is enough; in our searching, He is the fulfillment. Reflects Psalm 107:9.
Worship Leadership Tips
This song works beautifully during reflective moments such as after communion or in response to a sermon on God's grace. Keep the arrangement simple - piano or acoustic guitar with light strings can carry the tender mood.
Arrangement Tips
Encourage the congregation to quietly meditate on the words. You could have different soloists sing each verse, symbolizing Jesus personally addressing various needs, then have everyone join on the chorus.
