Lyrics
I just feel like something good is about to happen
I just feel like something good is on its way
He has promised that He'd open all of heaven
And brother, it could happen any day
When God's people humble themselves and call on Jesus
And they look to heaven expecting as they pray
I just feel like something good is about to happen
And brother, this could be that very day
I have learned in all that happens just to praise Him
For I knew he's working all things for my good
Every tear I shed is worth all the investment
For I know He'll see me through, He said He would
He has promised eye nor ear can hardly fathom
All the things He has in store for those who pray
I just feel like something good is about to happen
And brother, this could be that very day
Yes, I've noticed all the bad news in the paper
And it seems like things get bleaker every day
But for this child of God it makes no difference
For it's bound to get much better either way
I just feel like something good is about to happen
I just feel like something good is on its way
He has promised that He'd open all of heaven
And brother, it could happen any day
I have never been more thrilled about tomorrow
Sunshine's always bursting through the skies of gray
I just feel like something good is about to happen
And brother, this could be (my brother)
Brother, this could be (my sister)
Brother, this could be that very day

Meaning & Inspiration
“I Just Feel Something Good Is About to Happen” expresses expectant faith while acknowledging tears, discouraging news, and uncertain circumstances. Its optimism is not presented as ignorance of trouble; instead, the lyric repeatedly turns toward prayer, praise, and confidence in God’s care. The call for God’s people to humble themselves and pray clearly recalls 2 Chronicles 7:14, while the assurance that God works events for good echoes Romans 8:28.
The verses move between present hardship and hope for what God may do. Tears are treated as meaningful, bleak reports do not receive the final word, and tomorrow is viewed through trust in divine promises. The reference to what eye and ear cannot fathom resembles 1 Corinthians 2:9, though the song applies that biblical language to hopeful expectation. Its recurring declaration creates the character of a testimony: praise continues before circumstances visibly improve, and prayer becomes an active expression of confidence that God hears and sustains his people.
