YES, GOD IS REAL
          (Kenneth Morris, 1944)

1. 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.

    CHORUS:
    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,
    My God is real for I can feel Him in my soul.

2. Some folk may doubt
    Some folk may scorn
    All can desert and leave me 'lone,
    But as for me I'll take God's part,
    For God is real for I can feel Him in my heart.

3. I cannot tell
    Just how I felt
    When Jesus took my sins away,
    But since that day
    Yes since that hour,
    God has been real for I can feel His holy pow'r.

A present-day version (as in African American Heritage Hymnal) often is:
1. .....
    But I am sure of this one thing,
    That God is real for I can feel Him deep within.

    CHORUS:
    Yes, my God is real,
    He's real in my soul,
    Yes, 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.

2. Some folks may doubt, some folks may scorn,

3. I cannot tell just how you felt
    When Jesus took your sins away,
