Gaither Vocal Band - I Just Feel Something Good is About To Happen Lyrics
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
The Gaither Vocal Band released "I Just Feel Like Something Good Is About To Happen (Live At Gaither Studios, Alexandria, IN/2020)" on March 5, 2021, delivering a message of profound expectation and unwavering faith that resonates deeply with believers. This song serves as a vibrant anthem of hope, perfectly encapsulating the enduring spirit of Christian steadfastness in an often tumultuous world. Its core meaning lies in a joyful anticipation of God’s divine intervention and the fulfillment of His promises, a powerful reminder that even amidst global anxieties, a child of God can confidently declare that good is on its way. The Gaither Vocal Band, renowned for their rich harmonies and Biblically centered lyrics, once again offers a musical balm, reminding us that our ultimate hope rests not in fleeting circumstances but in the unchanging character of our Creator.
The essence of the song begins with a simple yet profound declaration: a strong inner conviction that positive change is imminent because God Himself has made a promise. The lyrics articulate a belief that God is poised to "open all of heaven," a metaphor not just for an eventual eternal reward, but for present-day blessings and divine favor. This resonates with the prophetic words of Jeremiah 29:11, where God declares His plans for prosperity and a hopeful future, not harm. It also echoes the New Testament promise of a new heaven and a new earth, as depicted in 2 Peter 3:13, where righteousness dwells, reinforcing the ultimate good that is truly on its way for those who follow Him. The song then extends this expectation to an action-oriented faith, suggesting that when God’s people "humble themselves and call on Jesus" with expectant hearts, divine good becomes even more tangible. This directly references the ancient promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14, where humility, prayer, and seeking God’s face are linked to His hearing from heaven and bringing healing. It is a powerful call to active, believing prayer, affirming that God listens and responds to the sincere cries of His children, as Jesus Himself taught in Matthew 7:7, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
The song further delves into the transformative power of a praising heart, even when facing adversity. It acknowledges that true faith involves learning "in all that happens just to praise Him," knowing that God orchestrates "all things for my good." This profound trust aligns perfectly with Romans 8:28, which assures us that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. The lyrics suggest that every hardship, every tear shed, holds value as an "investment," implying that God uses our trials to refine us and ultimately bring about a greater good, confirming that He will indeed "see me through." This perspective of suffering as purposeful is a foundational Christian belief, mirrored in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, which instructs us to give thanks in all circumstances. It speaks to the incredible blessings God has in store for those who pray, blessings so vast that "eye nor ear can hardly fathom" them, a direct paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 2:9, illustrating the immeasurable, unimaginable goodness God has prepared. This is not a superficial optimism but a deep-seated conviction rooted in the promises of an all-powerful, loving God, reflecting the truth that God is able to do "immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine" (Ephesians 3:20).
Perhaps most compelling is the song’s direct confrontation with the pervasive negativity of the world. It frankly admits to noticing "all the bad news in the paper" and acknowledges that "things get bleaker every day." Yet, for "this child of God," such grim realities "make no difference," because the future is "bound to get much better either way." This verse articulates a faith perspective that transcends earthly woes, understanding that whether through earthly intervention or eternal redemption, the ultimate outcome for a believer is always positive. This unwavering stance reflects the words of Jesus in John 16:33, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world," and Paul’s powerful declaration in Philippians 1:21, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." The song culminates in a triumphant feeling of excitement for tomorrow, seeing "sunshine always bursting through the skies of gray." This is not a denial of difficulty but a testament to an abiding joy and hope that pierces through darkness, celebrating the daily mercies and faithfulness of God, as proclaimed in Lamentations 3:22-23, "His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." "I Just Feel Something Good Is About To Happen" ultimately serves as an inspiring declaration of persistent faith, urging all to lean into God's promises with an expectant heart, convinced that His goodness is perpetually on the horizon, ready to unfold any day.
