7 Worship Songs About The Goodness Of God (Taste And See)

The goodness of God is not just something He does; it is who He is. It is the fundamental attribute that allows us to trust Him. Psalm 34:8 issues the invitation: “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”

In a world filled with bad news, tragedy, and disappointment, singing about the goodness of God is an act of spiritual warfare. It realigns our perspective, reminding us that our circumstances do not define God’s character. These songs help the church declare that even in the valley, God is still kind, faithful, and good.

Why These Songs Shift The Atmosphere

We selected these songs because:

  • They are experiential. They move beyond theory to testimony (“I have seen,” “I have known”).
  • They are declarative. They don’t ask God to be good; they celebrate that He already is.
  • They build trust. Reminding the heart of God’s goodness is the best antidote to fear and anxiety.

7 Songs To Celebrate His Kindness

  1. Goodness Of God – This song has become the anthem of this generation for a reason. It allows every person in the room to look back over their life and trace the faithfulness of God. The simple chorus “All my life You have been faithful” resonates with everyone from children to seniors.
  2. Been So Good – A joyful, uptempo testimony song that celebrates the track record of God. It lists the ways He has come through—”in the valley, in the shadow”—and concludes that He has simply been so good.
  3. King Of My Heart – The bridge of this song is a mantra of truth: “You are never gonna let, never gonna let me down.” The chorus simplifies everything into one phrase repeated over and over: “You are good.” It anchors the soul.
  4. Good Plans – God’s goodness isn’t just in our past; it’s in our future. This song takes the promise of Jeremiah 29:11 and turns it into a melody, assuring the church that God’s intentions toward them are kind.
  5. His Glory And My Good – Sometimes it is hard to see God’s goodness in suffering. This modern hymn helps us interpret our pain through the lens of His character, declaring that even in trials, He is working for our ultimate good and His glory.
  6. Great Things – “You’ve done great things.” This high-energy opener focuses on the active goodness of God—saving, freeing, and redeeming. It starts the service with a shout of gratitude.
  7. This Is Amazing Grace – The ultimate expression of God’s goodness is the cross. This song celebrates the King who would lay down His life for us, reminding us that His goodness is scandalous and free.

How To Use These Songs In Your Church

  • Share a testimony. God’s goodness is best understood through stories. Before singing Been So Good, share a 60-second story of how God provided for someone in your community.
  • Allow for spontaneous singing. The chorus of King Of My Heart (“You are good”) is perfect for looping. Let the instrumentation drop out and let the voices of the people carry the truth.
  • Read Psalm 34. “I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Use this scripture to frame the setlist as a choice to bless God regardless of circumstances.
