It’s Real
O how well do I remember how I doubted day by day,
For I did not know for certain that my sins were washed away.
When the Spirit tried to tell me, I would not the truth receive;
I endeavored to be happy and to make myself believe.
When the truth came close and searching, all my joys would disappear,
For I did not have the witness of the Spirit bright and clear.
If at times the coming judgment would appear before my mind,
O it made me so uneasy, for God’s smile I could not find.
But alas I tired of living such a life of fear and doubt,
For I wanted God to give me something I would know about,
So the truth would make me happy and the light would clearly shine,
And the Spirit gave assurance a that I’m His and He is mine.
So I prayed to God in earnest, and not caring what folks said.
I was hungry for the blessing, my pour soul — It must be fed.
Then at last by faith I touched Him and, like sparks from smitten steel,
Just so quick salvation reached me — O bless God, I know it’s real!
But it’s real, it’s real!
O I know it’s real
Praise God, the doubts are settled,
For I know, I know it’s real!

“My Lord and my God!”
John 20:28
My God Is Real
There are some things I may not know,
There are some places I can’t go.
But I am sure of this one thing:
My God is real for I can feel Him deep within.
I cannot tell just how you felt
When Jesus took all your sins away.
But since that day, yes, since that hour,
God has been real for I can feel His holy power!
My God is real, real in my soul;
My God is real for He has washed and made me whole!
His love for me is like pure gold,
Yes, God is real, for I can feel Him in my soul.
Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!
Blessings, peace, grace and to all here at TOL!
