A sweet video of a little girl named Elffy, just two years old, singing ‘Goodness of God’ has touched many hearts online.
‘Goodness of God’ is a beautiful song written by Jenn Johnson of Bethel Music. She wrote it in 2019 during a special time in her life – while she was adopting her son Ryder.
One day, as she was driving down a country road, she began to sing about God’s faithfulness and kindness. She quickly recorded this moment on her phone, capturing the start of what would become ‘Goodness of God’.
The song speaks to many believers, reminding us that God is always with us, showering us with His goodness every day.
In the video, we see little Elffy confidently singing these touching lyrics:
I love You, Lord, oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days, I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
What’s really amazing is how clearly Elffy sings all the words at such a young age. Her clear voice and heartfelt singing have left many viewers in awe. They’re touched by her young faith and her ability to remember all the lyrics.
People online have reacted with joy and admiration to Elffy’s performance. Many are moved by seeing such a young child praising God so earnestly. One person commented, “Wow 2 years old!! She knows all the words. May God use you as His instrument! And you and your parents will be blessed abundantly, thank you.”
Another viewer pointed out how important it is to teach children about faith from an early age. They said, “This is the way a child should be brought up. Praise GOD!!!”
Many people were touched by the purity of Elffy’s worship. One person wrote, “Jesus said…’let the little children come to me and do not hinder them.’ Such a precious child of God…This is true worship in its purest form.”
The song’s message about God’s constant goodness and faithfulness speaks to believers of all ages. It’s like a musical version of Psalm 23:6, which says, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” Elffy’s innocent and heartfelt singing brings this truth to life in a special way.
Seeing a young child like Elffy embrace these deep truths is truly inspiring. It reminds us how important it is to teach children about faith early on. We should help their spiritual growth along with their physical and mental growth. The Bible teaches us in Deuteronomy 6:7 to share God’s commandments with our children all the time – at home, while walking, before bed, and in the morning.
Elffy’s sweet singing of ‘Goodness of God’ encourages us to trust God with childlike wonder. It also challenges us to show our love for God openly and without shame, just like this little girl does.
Matthew 18:3, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
