“We have five children, and our youngest two are adopted. And we wrote this song—probably sixty or seventy percent of it—after we got home and our adoption was finalized. It makes me emotional… with our son, who changed our lives. I was just saying in the car that this was a heartfelt song to God. Just thanking Him for being with me all my life and being so faithful,” she said, then proceeded to thank the people who brought the song to life.

Here are the lyrics for the first part of the song:
I love You, Lord
For Your mercy never fails me
All my days, I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In the darkest night
You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a Father
I’ve known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God
