God is so Good

This is a hymn about God's goodness. It is sometimes used as a children's song, but a number of different styles are possible.  

The English words were written by Zambian Evangelical Church pastor and bishop, Paul Makai (TBA). 

Because it's so simple, it's also a good opportunity for including different languages into the one song - see the YouTube example.

The melody is based on a traditional Swahili tune.

Lyrics

God is so good,
God is so good,
God is so good,
        is so good, so good to me.

He is all I need,
He is all I need,
He is all I need,
        is so good, so good to me.

He answers prayer,
He answers prayer,
He answers prayer,
        Is so good, so good to me.

I will praise his name,
I will praise his name,
I will praise his name,
        Is so good, so good to me.

He leads my way,
He leads my way,
He leads my way,
        Is so good, so good to me.

Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
        Is so good, so good to me.
