When I think
about God's goodness
And His faithfulness over the years
I am struck with awe & gratitude
For redeeming me from all my fears
Oh Yes I arise to acknowledge His goodness
For 20 years and more
Thanking Him for His love & faithfulness
His name I will adore
When the storms of life raged
And almost consumed me
His words stopped the waves
And calmed the roaring sea
Oh Yes I arise to acknowledge His goodness
For 20 years and more
Thanking Him for His love & faithfulness
His name I will adore
What a mighty God we serve
Such a gracious God he is
Giving us more than we deserve
In spite of all, we remain His
Oh Yes we arise to acknowledge His goodness
For 20 years and more
Thanking Him for His love & faithfulness
His name we will adore
He watches over us day and night
He never slumbers or sleeps
He protects us from all evil
Our enemies fall into the deep
Oh Yes we arise to acknowledge His goodness
For 20 years and more
Thanking Him for His love & faithfulness
His name we will adore
Who has seen the righteous forsaken?
Or their children beg for bread?
God does not discard our supplications
He gives us more instead
Oh Yes we arise to acknowledge His goodness
For 20 years and more
Thanking Him for His love & faithfulness
His name we will adore
When men's voices rose in accusation
And they asked where is our God?
He arose in His awesome power
And silenced them like a flood
Oh Yes we arise to acknowledge His goodness
For 20 years and more
Thanking Him for His love & faithfulness
His name we will adore
Through every trial and temptation
Our assurance remains kept
Through every test and tribulation
He's our ever present help
Oh Yes we arise to acknowledge His goodness
For 20 years and more
Thanking Him for His love & faithfulness
His name we will adore
We will tell of your goodness
We will sing of your salvation
We will bow before your throne
In humble adoration
Oh Yes we arise to acknowledge Your goodness
For 20 years and more
Thanking You for Your love & faithfulness
Your name we will adore
Thank You Lord for loving us
Even when we don't know
Thank you Lord for keeping us
Even when we've gone low
Oh Yes we arise to acknowledge Your goodness
For 20 years and more
Thanking You for Your love & faithfulness
Your name we will adore
We have gathered here today
Women of honour arising
Our lives will show forth Your goodness
As we reach a new horizon
Oh Yes we arise to acknowledge Your goodness
For 20 years and more
Thanking You for Your love & faithfulness
Your name we will adore
