Something good is going to happen to you

When I was a little girl, the television would be on Sunday mornings. I'm not sure why. We would eat breakfast, then get ready for church. Why did the TV need to be on? Because what was on, you know, was mostly yet more church.

Like Oral Roberts' program, from the campus of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The opening song:


Something good is going to happen to you
Happen to you
This very day


It's the earworm that just came to me, that song. And so I share it with you. Though if you've never heard it, if your Sunday mornings weren't like mine, then I guess you are innoculated.

But now that I have that song in mind, I'm thinking of other songs, songs from the Jesus Movement, songs that pre-dated the Christian Contemporary music of today. My sister played them on her stereo:

Maranatha Maranatha
The Lord is coming back
Let all of us rejoice
To truly me-e, e-et him.


Songs that weren't exactly pop songs, but that still would be part of Mystory,so part of the PopCycle. Yeah?

Another thing about the popcycle is that you can switch out the categories/areas of experience for others. So, yeah. Take out "School" and put in "Religion." Or take out "Discipline" and put in "Religion."

Right there in the dust
He sat by the gate
()
And patiently wait
The blind man just didn't see
that this was the day
that Jesus of Nazareth
Would pass by his way

Something Good is going to happen to you
Happen to you
This very Day
Something Good is going to happen
to you
Jesus of Nazareth
Is passing your way.

Hi, I search for the song "Something good is going to happen to you" which Oral Roberts used in his crusades and your blog pops up. So I want to ask you if you have the full lyric to this song?

I would very much appreciate is if you could give it to me if you have it. Thanks in advance.
