It's a good thing I've got You

It's a good thing I've got You

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

It’s a good thing I've got You Lord
I couldn’t do this by myself.
It’s a good thing I’ve got You Lord
Can’t do a thing without Your help.
It’s a good thing I've got You Lord
To be with me and see me through.
It’s a good thing I've got You Lord
It’s a good thing I've got You               Ohh Lord.
 
When I’m feeling bad
And I’m oh so sad
And everything’s gone wrong,
I just think of You
and everything You do
And my heart is filled with song.
 
Yea, it’s all been said
And you’ve probably read
And my words are all cliché,
But if you call on Him
And confess your sin
Then you’ll know just why I say...
 
It’s a good thing I've got You Lord
‘cause troubles come and troubles go.
It’s a good thing I've got You Lord
Your love’s forever, this I know.
It’s a good thing I've got You Lord
When I am lonely or I’m blue.
It’s a good thing I've got You Lord
It’s a good thing I've got You           Ohh Lord.
 
You might do what’s right
You don’t fuss or fight
You might be a good person.
You don’t think there’s need
for you to believe
That could be you greatest sin.
 
Yea it’s all been said
And you may have read
And my words all seem cliché,
But if you call on Him
And you’re born again
Then you’ll know just why I say.
 
It’s a good thing I've got You Lord
You picked me up when I had fell.
It’s a good thing I've got You Lord
Your seeds are sown and growing well.
It’s a good thing I've got You Lord
And You forgive me like You do.
 It’s a good thing I've got You Lord
It’s a good thing I've got You                   Ohh Lord.
