Lyrics: One Good God (Live) by Jonathan McReynolds
You’re all I ever wanted
You’re all I ever needed
In one good God
I trust you ’cause I know it
I’ve lived and now I see it
You’re one good God
All the ways that you made
All the hearts that you saved
I’m amazed that it takes
Just one good God
And the closer I get
To the cross where we met
I could never forget
You’re one good God
Say
You’re all I ever wanted
Say
You’re all I ever needed
In one good God
I trust you
I trust you ’cause I know it
I’ve lived
I’ve lived and now I see it
You’re one good God
Say
You’re all I ever wanted
You’re all I ever needed
In one good God
I trust you ’cause I know it
I’ve lived and now I see it
You’re one good God
You’re all I ever wanted
You’re all I ever needed
In one good God
I trust you ’cause I know it
I’ve lived and now I see it
You’re one good God
You’re all I ever wanted
You’re all I ever needed
In one good God
And I trust you ’cause I know it
And I trust you ’cause I know it
I’ve lived and now I see it
You’re one good God
Come on

Oh, and all the ways that You made
All the hearts that You saved
I’m amazed that it takes
Just one good God
And the closer I get
To the cross where we met

You’re one good God
Wait a second
Can we worship that one good God?
