Weekly Devotional: Dustin Kensrue "God is Good"

Dustin Kensrue is the lead singer of a post-hardcore rock band and he is a devout follower of Jesus Christ. Most might think that those roles are diametrically opposed. Dustin has been filling his band's lyrics with meaningful, life-giving material for years but there was something missing. So the band has taken a break (maybe indefinitely) and Dustin has been added to the staff at Mars Hill. This gives him a chance to spend more time with his family and lead worship. Even though Dustin is relatively new to me, I've really enjoyed diving in to his lyrics and songwriting. Very impressed and I look forward to seeing good things continue to come from Mars Hill (Citizens, Ghost Ship, etc.)



Even when it seems the answer's no
The promises of God all find their Yes
In Christ who worked the Father's will below
That all who run to him would find their rest

And even when it seems he hides his face
And darkness seems to be our only friend
We look to Christ who suffered in our place
That one day all our suffering would end

God is good, all of the time
All of the time, God is good
God is good, all of the time
All of the time, God is good

And even when it seems he pays no mind
We have a guarantee of his great love
In Christ who came and left his crown behind
That one day we would reign with him above

Lord, we believe
But help our unbelief
Lord, we believe
But help our hearts to sing

That you are good, all of the time
All of the time, you are good
You are good all, of the time
Your are good
Lord, you are good
