Lyrics
I woke up this morning feelin' fine.
I woke up with Heaven on my mind.
I woke up with joy in my soul,
'Cause I knew my Lord had control.
Well, I knew I was walking in the light,
'Cause I'd been on my knees in the night;
And I'd prayed 'til the Lord gave a sign,
And now I'm feeling mighty fine.
Well, I'm feelin' mighty fine;
I've got heaven on my mind.
Don't you know, I want to go
Where the milk and honey flow.
There's a light, a light that always shines
Way down inside this heart of mine
I've got heaven on my mind;
And now I'm feelin' mighty fine.
I've been walking with Jesus all the time;
We're walking and talking as we climb.
We're trav'ling a road to the sky,
Where I know I'll live when I die.
He's been telling me all about that land,
And He tells me that everything is grand;
And He says that a Home will be mine;
And now I'm feelin' mighty fine.
Well, I'm feelin' mighty fine;
I've got Heaven on my mind.
Don't you know, I want to go
Where the milk and honey flow.
There's a light, a light that always shines
Way down inside this heart of mine
I've got Heaven on my mind;
And now I'm feeling mighty fine.
I've got Heaven on my mind
And now I'm feeling fine.

Meaning & Inspiration
“I’m Feelin’ Fine” expresses joyful assurance grounded in prayer, fellowship with Jesus, and hope of heaven. The first verse moves from kneeling in prayer during the night to waking with joy and confidence in the Lord’s control. Light shining within and heaven occupying the singer’s thoughts give the refrain its buoyant focus. The happiness described is therefore tied to faith and anticipated life with God rather than to easy circumstances.
The second verse pictures Christian life as walking and talking with Jesus on a road toward a heavenly home. Its references to the promised land, the road to the sky, and life after death use familiar Southern gospel images to describe eternal hope. Scripture likewise calls believers to set their minds on things above, walk in Christ’s light, and look toward God’s dwelling with His people. The song gathers those themes into a cheerful testimony of present companionship and future expectation.
