This is a recording of "Oh, How Good It Is", performed during a divine service conducted by Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider on October 19, 2025 in the New Apostolic Church, Margaret Ave. in Kitchener, Ontario on the occasion of the retirement of District Apostle Mark Woll and Apostle Frank Dzur.

This contemporary worship song was written by Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty, Stuart Townend, and Ross Holmes, and arranged for choir and orchestra by Joshua Spacht, a pianist and composer of choral and orchestral music.

This song highlights many of the wonderful and vital aspects of being part of God’s family:
A place of acceptance and belonging, sharing one another’s joys and sorrows, learning to forgive and be forgiven, living out God's word together as the "family of God", and being a shining light to the community around us because of our shared love. The song's joyous and uplifting message emphasizes the presence of God dwelling within His people.

Lyrics:
Oh, how good it is when the family of God
dwell together in spirit, in love and unity;
where the bonds of peace, of acceptance and love
are the fruits of his presence here among us.

So with one voice we’ll sing to the Lord,
and with one heart we’ll live out his word
til the whole world sees the Redeemer has come,
for he dwells in the presence of his people.

Oh, how good it is on this journey we share,
to rejoice with the happy and weep with those who mourn.
For the weak find strength, the afflicted find grace,
when we offer the blessing of belonging.

Oh, how good it is to embrace his command
to prefer one another, forgive as he forgives.
When we live as one we all share in the love
of the Son with the Father and the Spirit.

So with one voice we’ll sing to the Lord,
and with one heart we’ll live out his word
til the whole world sees the Redeemer has come,
for he dwells in the presence of his people.
