Have you ever thought you were a pretty good boy
And you never did anything bad?
Have you ever thought you were a pretty good girl
And you never made anyone sad?
There was a man whose name was Job,
He thought he was as good as gold,
But he found out that it wasn't enough,
He needed the goodness of God.

(Needed the goodness of God.)

When the troubles came and the going was rough
And everything started to fall,
When the troubles came and the going was tough
And Job was as sick as a dog,
He told his friends it wasn't fair
For God to put him in despair.
But then he heard that he'd better look up.
He'd forgotten the goodness of God.

With a prayer for others and a little more trust
And a look at his heart within,
With a prayer for others and a little more faith,
Job got better again.
All he lost, it was returned,
And he was so glad he learned
That all his goodness just wasn't enough,
He needed the goodness of God.

So if it's going good for you,
Give the credit where it's due,
And keep on saying, "I’d better look up,
I'm needing the goodness of God."
So if it's going good for you,

I'm needing the goodness of God."
