  I accepted the Lord Jesus as my savior and asked for forgiveness of my sins at the very young age of five years old. I was given a bible that was a Living Bible translation. One night, I was crying because I was afraid of the dark. I was still 5 or 6 years old. My mother came into my room to pray with me and as she prayed, a voice in my head (not outwardly audible, but I could hear it) repeated over and over, “John 1:5, John 1:5”. I asked my mom to read me the verse. My mom read “There’s a light that shines in the darkness and the darkness can never put it out.”

  I hear God&apos;s voice in my heart nearly every single day. I too love His voice.

  I&apos;m a worship leader and a pastor. Psalm 22 is one of the most powerful songs in Scripture—a prophetic psalm that points directly to the crucifixion of Jesus.<br><br>Guess who wrote it.<br><br>Go ahead.<br><br>An adulterer.<br>A murderer.<br>A deceiver.<br>A man who abused his authority.<br>A father who struggled to lead his own family.<br>A king who made devastating mistakes.<br>A man who experienced deep moral failure.<br><br>That&apos;s right. David. King David.<br><br>I&apos;ll never understand why we&apos;re so quick to throw the baby out with the bathwater whenever a pastor, songwriter, or denomination makes a mistake or holds a position we don&apos;t agree with.<br><br>If you cannot genuinely worship while singing &quot;Goodness of God&quot; simply because of the church affiliation of the people who wrote it, I think it&apos;s worth asking whether your focus has shifted from Christ to people. Worship has never been about the perfection of the songwriter; it has always been about the perfection of the Savior.<br><br>God has always used flawed people to declare His perfect truth. He did it with David, and He still does today.<br><br>I would love to see &nbsp;you use more scripture in &quot;tea&quot; sessions. &nbsp;<br><br>• I love You, Lord → Psalm 18:1 – &quot;I love You, O Lord, my strength.&quot;<br><br>• Your mercy never fails me → Lamentations <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMbcB61JWGo&amp;t=202">3:22</a>–23 – His mercies never come to an end; great is His faithfulness.<br><br>• All my days I&apos;ve been held in Your hands → Isaiah 41:10; Deuteronomy 33:27 – God upholds and carries His people.<br><br>• From the moment that I wake up until I lay my head → Psalm 3:5; Psalm 121:3–8 – God watches over us day and night.<br><br>• I will sing of the goodness of God → Psalm 89:1; Psalm 145:7 – We are called to sing of God&apos;s faithfulness and goodness.<br><br>• All my life You have been faithful → Deuteronomy 7:9; Lamentations <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMbcB61JWGo&amp;t=202">3:22</a>–23 – God is faithful through every generation.<br><br>• All my life You have been so, so good → Psalm 34:8; Psalm 100:5 – &quot;Taste and see that the Lord is good.&quot;<br><br>• With every breath that I am able → Psalm 150:6 – &quot;Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.&quot;<br><br>• I love Your voice → John 10:27 – &quot;My sheep hear My voice.&quot;<br><br>• You have led me through the fire → Isaiah 43:2; Daniel 3:24–27 – God is with us through the fire.<br><br>• In darkest night You are close like no other → Psalm 23:4 &quot;Though I walk through the valley... You are with me.&quot; Hebrews 13:5 – &quot;I will never leave you nor forsake you.&quot;<br><br>• I&apos;ve known You as a Father → Romans 8:15; &nbsp;1 John 3:1 – We are God&apos;s children.<br><br>• I&apos;ve known You as a Friend → John 15:15 – &quot;I have called you friends.&quot;<br><br>• Your goodness is running after me → Psalm 23:6 – &quot;Surely goodness and mercy shall follow (pursue) me all the days of my life.&quot; (The Hebrew word &quot;radaph&quot; means to pursue or chase after.)<br><br>• With my life laid down, I&apos;m surrendered now → Romans 12:1; Galatians 2:20 – Offer your life completely to God.<br><br>• I give You everything → Mark 12:30; Philippians 3:7–8 – Love God with all your heart and count everything else as loss compared to Christ.

  I almost died. I was very sick and went through some serious health struggles and even had brain surgery. The line about &quot;I&apos;ve known You through the fire&quot; and &quot;in the darkest night You are close like no other&quot; means SO MUCH to me because He saw me through everything!!! It&apos;s my story!!! ❤ In the night, i only had Him! As for His goodness running after me..that experience taught me to trust Him deeply. I then used that to pray for my son who was an atheist for three years. A year and a half ago he came to the Lord and a few months ago his wife did!! BUT....I sang this when he was still lost!!! Because God is still good!!!!❤❤❤

  Jesus said “My sheep hear my voice” . Voice implies spoken not just written.

  This is a song I will never stop singing… It reminds me of King David and how he had to encourage himself in the Lord. &nbsp;He says in &nbsp;the book of Psalms “ surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life “ he also said I would have lost hope unless I believed I would see the goodness of God in the land of the living. So for me the overarching theme is biblical.

  Just made me think of the old hymn: &quot;and he walks with me and he talks with me, and he tells me I am his own&quot;. Wondering what the difference is? I&apos;m no fan of Bethel, by any means. But the Bible does speak of &quot;that still small voice.&quot; I don&apos;t know what Bethel specifically teaches on this, but every child of God should learn how to discern his &quot;voice&quot;. To know if it&apos;s really God or not. &nbsp;Yes God speaks through scripture. But he can also speak in other ways...but all those &apos;other ways&apos;, need to line up with the character of God and His word. No one should ever pretend to hear his voice just to fit in with the crowd.

  I pray that you hear GOD&apos;s voice. He is Father. Father&apos;s speak.

  I like the german translation of this song because it translates &quot;I love your voice&quot; as &quot;I love your word&quot;. Its probably just because the syllables fit better this way, but it also makes it way more singable for me.
