My God Is Real | Yes, God Is Real Lyrics
“Mahalia Jackson version”
There are some things
I may not know
There are some places
Oh Lord, I cannot go
But I am sure
Of this one thing
That God is real
For I can feel
Him in my soul
Yes, God is real
Oh, He’s real in my soul
Yes, God is real
For He has washed
And made me whole
Ooh, his love for me
Is just like pure gold, oh Lord
My God is real
For I can feel
Him in my soul
Yes, God is real
Oh yes, God is real in my soul
Yes, God is real
For He has washed
And made me whole
Ooh, his love for me
You know it’s just like pure gold, oh yes
Yes, God is real
For I can feel
Him in my soul
Yes, God Is Real Hymn Story
“Yes, God is Real” is a gospel song that was composed by African American hymn composer, Kenneth Morris. It is him most popular song and is extremely popular in the Baptist church.
In narrating the circumstances that led to this composition, Kenneth Morris stated the following:
“I read two articles in a magazine written by two men. One was by an atheist, who didn’t believe in God, and the other was by a clergyman. The atheist, in his article, gave his reasons for his non-belief in God, likewise the clergyman gave his reasons for his belief in God. After reading both articles, the question stared me in the face, “Why did I believe in God?” In the face of the scientific evidence brought forth by the atheist, my belief in God seemed futile. Even though the clergyman had given some excellent reasons for belief in God, they were by no means conclusive or satisfactory to me”.
“I pondered over this dilemma for some time before I got my answer. Something within spoke to me clearly one day and said, “Yes God is real, for He lives within your soul.” I was satisfied, for that is really the only test for any individual; thus I sat down and wrote the words and music for this song, for I had at last found within myself the answer to this all-important question”.
