Gateway Worship - Something Good + Jesús | Global Impact Weekend Lyrics
Lyrics
When I'm in the roughest water
I won't go under, I won't drown
When I'm in over my head
I know that You won't let me down
When I'm broken and down to nothing
I know that You are
Always up to something good
I know that You are always up to something good
Al caminar por esos valles
(Even through the deepest valley)
Tas vas conmigo, tu eres fiel
(You go before me, You are here)
Porque yo se, Tu no me dejas
(For I know You'll never leave me)
Tu me rodeas / No temera'
(Your love surrounds me, I won't fear)
Cuando me encuentro, Sin aliento
(When I'm broken, and down to nothing)
Yo se que todo siempre Tu lo haces bien
I know that You are always up to something good
(Yo se que todo siempre Tu lo haces bien)
El mar abriras / Tu mano lo hara
(You will make a way, Whatever it takes )
Tu mo todo lo vencer'a
(There is nothing Your love won't endure)
Yo se que todo siempre Tu lo haces bien
I know that You are always up to something good
En la obscuridad / A mi lado vas
(Through the darkest night / You are on my side)
Siempre permaneces (You are always faithful)
En cada temor, De Tu mano voy
(Through my fear and doubt , You will lead me out)
Siempre me sostienes (You are always able)
Through the darkest night
You are on my side
You are always faithful
Through my fear and doubt You will lead me out
You are always able ooooooh
...
Jesus Your love is unrelenting
Jesus Your grace is never ending
...
I know that You are always up to something good
I know that You are always up to something good
You will make a way, Whatever it takes
There is nothing Your love won't endure
I know that You are always up to something good

Something Good + Jesús | Global Impact Weekend | GATEWAY
Meaning & Inspiration
Gateway Worship, a collective renowned for its influential praise and worship music, delivered a compelling addition to its repertoire with "Something Good + Jesús | Global Impact Weekend," released on October 3, 2019. This track immediately distinguished itself as a declaration of unwavering faith, particularly resonant for anyone navigating the unpredictable challenges of life while seeking a steadfast anchor in divine promise. Its intentional blend of English and Spanish lyrics broadens its appeal, creating a unifying tapestry of worship that transcends linguistic boundaries and speaks to a global church.
The song’s narrative embarks on a journey through adversity, vividly painting scenarios of feeling "in the roughest water," "over my head," and "broken and down to nothing." These poignant images capture the raw reality of human struggle and vulnerability. Yet, the lyrics swiftly pivot from despair to declaration, asserting a profound truth: "I won't go under, I won't drown...I know that You won't let me down." This shift reflects a confident trust in God’s unfailing presence, echoing the assurance found in Isaiah 43:2, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you." The central, repeated affirmation, "I know that You are always up to something good," becomes more than a hopeful sentiment; it is a deep conviction, rooted in the biblical promise of Romans 8:28, which states that God works all things for the good of those who love Him, even when immediate circumstances seem to contradict that truth.
The seamless transition into Spanish further amplifies this powerful message, extending its reach and emphasizing the universality of God’s care. Phrases like "Al caminar por esos valles, Tu vas conmigo, tu eres fiel" ("Even through the deepest valley, You go before me, You are here") directly align with the comforting words of Psalm 23:4, reminding us of His steadfast companionship even in the darkest moments. The emphasis on divine protection and presence continues with "Porque yo se, Tu no me dejas, Tu me rodeas / No temera'" ("For I know You'll never leave me, Your love surrounds me, I won't fear"), a testament to God's enduring faithfulness as promised in Hebrews 13:5, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." The powerful imagery of God making a way, "El mar abriras / Tu mano lo hara" ("You will make a way, Whatever it takes"), powerfully evokes biblical miracles such as the parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14), symbolizing His boundless power to intervene and overcome any obstacle.
The song continues to build on the theme of God's limitless capability and unwavering constancy. "En la obscuridad / A mi lado vas / Siempre permaneces...En cada temor, De Tu mano voy / Siempre me sostienes" ("Through the darkest night / You are on my side / You are always faithful...Through my fear and doubt, You will lead me out / You are always able") profoundly illustrates God's unchanging nature and His active role in guiding and sustaining us through our deepest anxieties. This aligns with the beautiful truth of Lamentations 3:22-23, which reminds us that His mercies are new every morning and His faithfulness is great. The song then focuses directly on the person of Jesus, declaring, "Jesus Your love is unrelenting, Jesus Your grace is never ending." This serves as a potent affirmation of Christ’s boundless compassion and undeserved favor, capturing the very essence of the Gospel message. It recalls how God demonstrated His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8), and through Him, we receive grace upon grace (John 1:16).
Ultimately, "Something Good + Jesús" stands as a vibrant testament to an enduring faith, an anthem of resilience deeply rooted in the unchanging character of God. It encourages believers to look beyond immediate hardships and firmly grasp the profound truth that our Creator is perpetually at work for our ultimate good and His glory, His benevolent plans for our welfare and hope always prevailing over any present distress (Jeremiah 29:11). The song delivers a powerful reminder that regardless of the storm, the valley, or the encroaching darkness, we are never truly alone; God's love is an active, surrounding force, His grace an infinite wellspring, and His power an unstoppable presence, making a way where there seems to be none. It inspires a deep sense of peace and courageous hope, urging all to lean into the unwavering certainty that God is indeed always, unfailingly, up to something good.
