# JESUS BEEN GOOD TO ME

**[Opening — Rocking Old-Church Piano]**

Jesus been good to me,
Good to me, good to me.
I can't tell it all,
But Jesus been good to me.

Jesus been good to me,
Better than I deserve.
Every time I needed Him,
He was right there!

**[Choir]**
Been good!
Been good!

**[Verse 1 — Call & Response]**

Put food on my table—
*(Been good to me!)*

Shoes on my feet—
*(Been good to me!)*

Gave me somewhere to lay down—
*(Been good to me!)*

And something good to eat—
*(Been good to me!)*

Woke me this morning—
*(Been good to me!)*

Started me on my way—
*(Been good to me!)*

And before I ask for anything—
*(Been good to me!)*

I gotta thank Him today—
*(Been good to me!)*

**[Chorus]**

Good to me!
*(Yes, He has!)*

Good to me!
*(Yes, He has!)*

All my life—
*(Yes, He has!)*

Day and night—
*(Yes, He has!)*

I can't count
Every blessing He's given me.

All I know is
**JESUS BEEN GOOD TO ME!**

**[Verse 2 — Testimony Style]**

Made a way for me—
*(Yes, He did!)*

When my way got tight—
*(Yes, He did!)*

Stayed right beside me—
*(Yes, He did!)*

In the middle of the night—
*(Yes, He did!)*

Put joy down in me—
*(Yes, He did!)*

Gave me another chance—
*(Yes, He did!)*

And every time I think about it—
*(Yes, He did!)*

I feel it in my hands!
*(Yes, He did!)*

**[Church Break]**

Has He been good?

*(YES, HE HAS!)*

Has He made a way?

*(YES, HE HAS!)*

Has He answered prayer?

*(YES, HE HAS!)*

Then you oughta tell somebody—

**HE'S BEEN GOOD!**

**[DRIVE — Tempo Kicks Up]**

Been good!
*(To me!)*

Been kind!
*(To me!)*

Made ways!
*(For me!)*

Opened doors!
*(For me!)*

Kept me!
*(All night!)*

Woke me!
*(On time!)*

Blessed me!
*(Again!)*

And again!
*(AND AGAIN!)*

**[Drive Gets Hot]**

When I was down—
*(He picked me up!)*

When I got weak—
*(He gave me strength!)*

When I got lost—
*(He showed me the way!)*

When I cried—
*(He dried my tears!)*

When I prayed—
*(He heard me!)*

When I called—
*(He answered!)*

When I needed Him—
*(HE CAME THROUGH!)*

**[Final Drive — Choir & Band]**

GOOD!
*(Been good!)*

GOOD!
*(Been good!)*

MIGHTY GOOD!
*(Been good!)*

SO GOOD!
*(Been good!)*

Can't tell it all!
*(Been good!)*

Would take all day!
*(Been good!)*

So I'll just say—

**THANK YOU!**

Thank You!
*(For being good!)*

Thank You!
*(For being good!)*

Thank You!
*(For being good!)*

**JESUS BEEN GOOD TO ME!**
