Intro
You've been good for a long time

For so many years, You've been good
And so many times, I've seen You work
Can't count the ways or all the days
That You remained, but I can say (God!)

Chorus
You've been good for a long time
I know I ain't the only one (You've been good for a long time)
I need a witness in the building that know He's as just as being good
(You've been good for a long time, ayy, yeah)
Say, "God!" (You've been good for a long time)
I need somebody to testify with us tonight
Say, "God, You've been good" (You've been good for a long time)

Vamp
Faithful for a long time (faithful for a long time)
Healing for a long time (healing for a long time)
Making ways for a long time (making ways for a long time)

I need somebody over here to thank God (You've been good for a long time)
Yeah! Come on, y'all, let's testify

Vamp
Say, "Long time" (long time)
Keeping me (long time)
Covering me (long time)
Providin' for me (long time)
Protectin' me (long time)
Holdin' me together (long time)
God, You've been good (You've been good for a long time)

Bridge
All my life, You have been so, so (good) good for a long time
All my life, You have been so, so good for a long time (I've seen Your goodness)

All my life, You have been so, so good for a long time (let's go!)

Long time (long time)
Keeping me (long time)

Verse
I need every praiser who know that God didn't just stop bein' good (hey!)

To open your mouth and give God praise (You've been good for a long time)
You've been good, say! (You've been good for a long time)
I'm talking about me, y'all, God! (You've been good for a long time)
Hey! When I look back over my life (You've been good for a long time)
Somebody, give Him praise! Somebody, give Him worship!
