Verse 1:

 The doctor came in today at 5:08

Sat down, shook his head and said son I’ve got some bad news to say

The only thing we can do is to put your name on a list

And pray for a good soul


Later on a few months went by and there weren’t no calls

But that never stopped his faith at all

At the eleventh hour he heard a sweet voice say

We’ve got a match from a good soul

Chorus 1:

He said, I thank God for good souls

Like you who never stop and think about what’s in it for me

Who just see a need

I thank God for good souls

Like you who just show up with a big ol’ heart and a helping hand

I can’t tell you what this means to me

You’ve given me back everything

Just know tonight when I say my prayers

I thank God for good souls

Verse 2:

Across town he was out driving in his Chevrolet

When that river started rising above flood stage

In a matter of minutes it would’ve taken him

If not for a good soul

Chorus 2:
He said, I thank God for good souls

Like you who never stop and think about what’s in it for me

Who just see a need

I thank God for good souls

Like you who just show up with a big ol’ heart and a helping hand

I can’t tell you what this means to me

You’ve given me back everything

Just know tonight when I say my prayers

I thank God for good souls
Bridge:

They’re the unsung heroes who still believe

A simple act of kindness can change this world

Can change this world


Chorus:

He said, I thank God for good souls

Like you who never stop and think about what’s in it for me

Who just see a need

I thank God for good souls

Like you who just show up with a big ol’ heart and a helping hand

I can’t tell you what this means to me

You’ve given me back everything

Just know tonight when I say my prayers

I thank God for good souls
