Goodness of the Lord - The Petersens Original (LIVE)

Katie co-wrote this original song with her friend Liv Chapman from Australia, based on Psalm 27. We recorded it at the end of the year and had the joy of performing it live with Liv during our final show on the Australian tour.

The message is powerful and feels especially meaningful in today’s world. We hope it brings you peace and encouragement.

►LYRICS - Goodness of the Lord
I believe that I will look upon
The goodness of the Lord
As I dwell in the land of the living
So I'll wait and I'll be strong
And I'll take courage in His word
As I look upon the goodness of the Lord

The Lord is my light and my sure salvation
With Him by my side, whom shall I fear?
When all my enemies rise up against me
I know the Lord is near

I believe that I will look upon
The goodness of the Lord
As I dwell in the land of the living
So I'll wait and I'll be strong
And I'll take courage in His word
As I look upon the goodness of the Lord

The Lord is my light and my sure salvation
When I cry for help, He answers me
In days of trouble, I'm safely hidden
His love will cover me

I believe that I will look upon
The goodness of the Lord
As I dwell in the land of the living
So I'll wait and I'll be strong
And I'll take courage in His word
As I look upon the goodness of the Lord

He is the stronghold of my life
The rock on which I stand
He is the fortress where I hide
I will wait on Him [x2]
(Keep looking, keep waiting)

I believe that I will look upon
The goodness of the Lord
As I dwell in the land of the living
So I'll wait and I'll be strong
And I'll take courage in His word
As I look upon the goodness of the Lord

And the praises that we sing
Will tell of all He has restored
As we look upon
The goodness of the Lord
