How to Play “Goodness of God” on Piano [Video Tutorial]
“Goodness of God” by Bethel Music is a wonderful song to learn on piano because it can be played with a very simple accompaniment while still leaving plenty of room to add expression and movement.
In the tutorial below, I'll teach you the chords and demonstrate two different approaches to playing the song: a simple version and a more advanced version.

Learn the Chords
Before adding accompaniment patterns, you'll want to become familiar with the chords in the song.
In the video, I'll walk through how to form the chords and show you how they connect throughout the song. Once you're comfortable with the chord shapes, you'll be able to focus more on the rhythm and musical expression.
Start With a Simple Approach
If you're still developing your worship piano skills, start with the simple version.
You don't need complicated patterns to accompany “Goodness of God.” Focus on playing the chords clearly, keeping a steady rhythm, and listening to how your piano part supports the melody.
This approach is also useful when you're playing in a worship setting where you want to leave plenty of space for the vocals.
Take It to the Next Level
Once you've learned the basic version, you can begin adding more movement to your accompaniment.
In the advanced portion of the tutorial, I'll demonstrate how to make the piano part fuller by using more developed patterns and movement while keeping the same basic chord progression.
This gives you a way to build the song as it grows without making the accompaniment unnecessarily complicated.

Watch the tutorial below to learn the chords and follow along with both the simple and advanced versions of “Goodness of God.”
I recommend starting with the simple version and getting comfortable playing through the song. Then, as you gain confidence, experiment with some of the ideas from the advanced version.
Remember that the goal isn't simply to play more notes. Your piano playing is ministry to the Lord… and often less is more. When we play simply, we leave room for Him to fill the space.
