Song Meaning

William Murphy turns a one-letter change into a call-and-response anthem: "Something good is about to happen" is answered by "Something God is about to take place." The wordplay is the whole hook, and the leader keeps coaxing the room to join in, saying "You can't have it if you won't say it."


Midway through, the phrases tighten into "It's gonna be good / It's gonna be God." The lyric offers no story or petition. It is a declaration of expectation, spoken out loud and repeated until it becomes a shared confession.


Its confidence rests on God doing the work, an idea close to Isaiah 43:19, "I am about to do a new thing," and to the thankful memory of Psalm 126:3. It works as a live-service anthem for a congregation that wants to meet the week expecting God to move.

Something good is about to happen
Something God is about to take place
Something good is about to happen
Something God is about to take place

Something good is about to happen
You say it
Something God is about to take place
Something good is about to happen
You can't have it if you won't say it
Something God is about to take place
Say, "Is about to take place"
Is about to take place

Listen, something good is about to happen
Something God is about to take place
Something good is about to happen, yeah
Something God is about to take place

It's gonna be good
It's gonna be God
Tell somebody, it's gonna be good
It's gonna be God
It's gonna be good
It's gonna be God

Something good, something good
Is about to happen
Something God

Something (Good is about to happen)
(Something God is about to take place)
Something (Good is about to happen)
You can't have it if you won't say it
(Something God is about to take place)
One more time, say it
(Something good is about to happen)
Something God (Is about to take place)

It's gonna be God
It's gonna be God
It's gonna be God
Tell 'em again, it's gonna be God, it's gonna be God

Something good (Is about to happen)
(Something God is about to take place)
One more time
Something good is about to happen
Something God is about to take place
