The Hoppers - Think On The Good Things Lyrics
Lyrics
I'm gonna think on the good things
Think on what the Lord has done for me
I'm gonna think on the good, good things
'Cause what I think is what I'm gonna be
I'm gonna fill up my mind
With happy songs of praise
Remind myself that He's forgiven me
I'm gonna think about things
That I know will lift me up
Like hope and peace and truth and joy
And simple honesty
I'm gonna think on the good things
Think on what the Lord has done for me
I'm gonna think on the good, good things
'Cause what I think is what I'm gonna be
If I think about despair
I will only get depressed
If I dwell on trouble, I will trouble be
But if I fill up my mind
With the goodness of the Lord
He will make me more like Him
And meet my every need
I'm gonna think on the good things
Think on what the Lord has done for me
I'm gonna think on the good, good things
'Cause what I think is what I'm gonna be
I'm gonna think on the good things
Think on what the Lord has done for me
I'm gonna think on the good, good things
'Cause what I think is what I'm gonna be
I'm gonna think on the good, good things
'Cause what I think is what I'm gonna be
What I think is what I'm gonna be

Think on the Good Things -The Hoppers
Meaning & Inspiration
The Hoppers' "Think On The Good Things," released on November 8, 2022, as part of their album *Generations*, is a powerful declaration of faith and a practical guide to cultivating a Christ-centered mindset. This song isn't merely a pleasant tune; it's a profound theological statement that echoes the timeless wisdom found throughout Scripture, particularly in Philippians 4:8, which urges believers to "finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." The Hoppers directly translate this biblical principle into actionable advice, asserting that our thoughts have a tangible impact on our being, stating, "what I think is what I'm gonna be." This resonates with Proverbs 23:7, which teaches, "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." The song emphasizes the conscious effort required to steer our minds away from despair and trouble, recognizing that dwelling on negativity only perpetuates it, mirroring the admonition in Isaiah 26:3: "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." Instead, the lyrics advocate for actively filling one's mind with the "good, good things" – the blessings and mercies of God. This is a direct call to remembrance and thanksgiving, akin to the psalmist's command to "give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever" (Psalm 107:1). The song highlights the transformative power of focusing on hope, peace, truth, joy, and honesty, all attributes that align with the fruit of the Spirit described in Galatians 5:22-23. By choosing to meditate on God's goodness and His past actions on our behalf, believers are promised not only a more positive outlook but also a deepening resemblance to Christ, as the lyrics suggest He will "make me more like Him and meet my every need," echoing promises like those in Matthew 6:33: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." "Think On The Good Things" serves as a stirring reminder that our spiritual well-being is inextricably linked to the focus of our thoughts, offering an inspiring, biblically grounded strategy for living a life characterized by divine peace and unwavering hope.
