[Verse 1] The ache of goodbye still hung in the room Tears had long since run dry Some carrying hurts they couldn’t outrun Some too tired to try Empty cupboards, worn-out shoes Wishing things weren’t quite so bad He had a way of helping people Finding more than they had [Chorus] He went around doing good That’s what people say Showing up when hope was thin And slipping fast away He saw the hurt that others missed And heard the silent cries He went around doing good Drying teary eyes [Verse 2] Some felt trapped by the same old chains They couldn’t leave behind Some had listened so long to lies They stopped trusting their own minds Some were pushed to the edges Some were told they had no place He had a way of helping people Finding unexpected grace [Chorus] He went around doing good That’s what people say Showing up when hope was thin And slipping fast away He saw the hurt that others missed And heard the silent cries He went around doing good Drying teary eyes [Verse 3] I was rich in questions, poor in answers Wishing things weren’t quite so bad Heart sore from the same old battles Wanting peace I’d never had Sometimes trapped inside my thinking Sometimes blinded by my fears Pressed down by a thousand worries That’s when He met me there [Final Chorus] He went around doing good That’s what I’m here to say Showing up when hope was thin And slipping fast away He saw my hurt that others missed And heard my silent cries He went around doing good And dried my teary eyes
