God Is Good All the Time And All the Time God Is Good
story behind the song
where could i go
It was written in 1940 by J. B. Coats.
Mr. Coats began writing songs and leading singings around the age of 14. The story behind this song was inspired before that. Mr. Coats was sitting next to a dying neighbor, and he asked the gentleman if he knew where he would spend eternity.
The old gentleman profoundly stated, "Where Could I Go But To The Lord?'"
Those words stuck with Mr. Coats and several years later; while teaching a singing school, he wrote this song.
