Life Experience Brings New Depth to Worship Song
by Bishop Jack Lumanog

In the fast-paced world we live in, it’s easy to lose sight of the quiet yet profound moments where God’s goodness shines through. A worship moment captured at the Mississippi District UPCI Campmeeting 2024 reminds us—just how powerful those moments can be. The David Ellard Trio, a group of seasoned and faithful singers, delivered a soul-stirring rendition of the well-loved modern worship song “Goodness of God.”

Here is Jenn Johnson of Bethel Music leading the song as we have come to know and love it:

The Power of Experience in Worship

When the David Ellard Trio sang this song, it wasn’t just about beautiful harmonies or a polished performance. These elders in the Lord carried something deeper—an authenticity born of life’s challenges, triumphs, and an unwavering faith in God’s goodness through it all.

You could hear it in their voices and see it in their expressions: they weren’t just singing the words, they were living them. As the lyrics proclaimed:
“All my life You have been faithful;
all my life You have been so, so good,”
it became clear that these singers were testifying to their own faith journeys.

And it’s clear these words are closer to these singers’ hearts:
“With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God“

All of these lyrics take on a whole new meaning when sung by this trio!

A Timeless Reminder of God’s Faithfulness

“Goodness of God” is a song that resonates across generations. But in the hands of the David Ellard Trio, it took on a whole new meaning. Their heartfelt delivery takes us — whether young or old— to a place of deep gratitude and worship.

This performance isn’t just about music; it is about connection.

It reminds us that no matter what we face, God’s faithfulness is unwavering.

These elders in the Lord, with lives marked by highs and lows, sang a message of hope that we all need to hear.

Whether you’re a long-time believer or someone searching for hope, this rendition of “Goodness of God” will uplift and inspire you.

Get a sense of God’s presence as the voices of experience remind us all of His unfailing love.
