GOD IS SO GOOD by Anna G. Watts


“God is so good!”  That refrain like
      bells so sweetly ringing,
Within my heart the chords of praise,
      jubilantly are singing.
So as I meditate today,
     in this blest solitude,
Your voice I still hear saying,
     “God is so good!”
   
To climb the highest mountain,
     if I could, I would,
And shout for all the world to hear,
     “God is so good!”

Someday I trust we’ll meet again,
     where there’ll be no good-bye,
In that beautiful land our Lord’s prepared,
     for His children on High.
   
To wish that after all these years,
     our paths again should meet,
To renew once more our friendship,
     that makes life so rich and sweet.
 
Together with the Saints and Sages,
     with the faithful we have stood,
I’m sure somewhere I’ll hear you saying,
     “God is so good!”
 


Dedicated to my husband, Rev. W. Earl Watts, who went to be with the Lord, November 21, 1986.
