There may be seasons when we FEEL like He is silent or distant, but our feelings are not to be trusted over the facts about God’s character! He never forgets about us or takes a break from caring about every single detail of our lives! He is near us and loves us so much that He is constantly working in our lives, teaching us to become more and more like Christ. What an amazing God.
I’m so excited to share the song I wrote recently! “Your Good is So Good” is based on Romans 8:28.
Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 ESV
I’ve always loved and believed this Romans 8:28! But there have been times I’ve wondered why certain situations turned out the way they did and thought, “God, You promised all things would work together for good, and this doesn’t seem good.” But I am learning that we can always, without question, trust His definition of good. From here on out, if his definition of good is different than mine, I’m going to do my best to trust His!
As always, I would love to hear your feedback, and if the message in this song resonates with you, please share this video!
Side Note: I changed my piano to a guitar setting when I recorded the accompaniment, because that’s how I kept hearing it in my head!
I am excited to share that thanks to Steve Aho Music, two of my three piano solo compositions are now transcribed. (Stay tuned…I’ll let you know when the third one “Return to the Promise” is ready!)

Sometimes it seems like there is a pervasive hopelessness in our world today. Hopelessness tries to convince us that we are insignificant – that we don’t have purpose or value.
But the Bible says we are God’s masterpiece. “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 NLT
We were born on purpose for a purpose.
I pray you hear something in this song that speaks to you.
I would love to share a new song with you. And I just have to share this too: I wrote it in less than two hours. (For me, that’s crazy! Songs usually take me much, much longer to finish.) I almost felt like God just dictated the words and the music, and I wrote it down! It was something I will never forget!!
If you listen to this song and it touches you, it would mean so much to hear from you! Maybe you can relate…I feel a little vulnerable after writing songs and blog posts and putting them on the internet for anyone to hear/see, so it is a huge encouragement to hear feedback!!
I truly hope you are blessed by this song and these facts: we are immeasurably loved by God and He wants to heal our broken hearts. He is just so good.
Lyrics: Another sunrise, another opportunity. But Lord, You know that lately it’s been hard to see Your light through the darkness and Your peace in the world’s mess. Oh, Jesus, won’t You help me
Jesus, here’s my broken heart. I place it in Your hands. And when I try to take it back from You, help me to trust Your flawless plans – even when I don’t understand.
This burden’s heavy and I am feeling weak. Seems like the world’s noise tries to drown out the words You speak. You promise comfort. You promise rest. Oh, Jesus, won’t You help me?
Jesus, here’s my broken heart. I place it in Your hands. And when I try to take it back from You, help me to trust Your flawless plans – even when I don’t understand.
You’re the only One who truly knows my soul. You knit me together – only You can make me whole again. Won’t You help me?
Jesus, here’s my broken heart. I place it in Your hands. And when I try to take it back from You, help me to trust Your flawless plans – even when I don’t understand.
Jesus, here’s my broken heart. I place it in Your hands.
“Love Like This,” by Lauren Daigle, puts into words a question that comes to our minds when we think about how blessed we are to be loved by God in the amazing way He loves us: “What have I done to deserve love like this?” We can’t earn it, and we can’t do enough to be worthy of it. He just loves us because that’s who He is. Continue reading →
