Just days after releasing "How Good God Is," Brandon Lake is giving fans an even closer look at the song. He shared the full live acoustic video on YouTube, stripping the swelling, orchestral single down to just his voice and guitar.
Studio version dropped August 28, the song finds Lake reflecting on his past mistakes not with shame, but with gratitude for how they shaped his faith. Written with Jonathan Smith, Derrick Southerland, and Emily Weisband, its lyrics lean into that testimony directly: "Thank God for the weakness that showed me His strength / Thank God for the fire that forged me with faith."
The acoustic release continues a pattern for Lake, who has frequently followed studio singles with pared-down performance videos throughout his career - a way of letting the songwriting stand on its own outside full production. Fans have responded warmly, with the post drawing hundreds of likes within hours of going up.
The stripped-back version arrives as Lake continues promoting "How Good God Is" as a cornerstone of his next musical chapter, one blending the worship roots that built his career with the more personal songwriting he's leaned into in recent releases.
The full acoustic video is available now on YouTube, alongside the original studio version on all streaming platforms.
