He Is Jehovah
Bill & Gloria Gaither Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when I looked at you
You looked at the ground
I don't know who he is
But I think that you do
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you
Something in my heart and in your eye
Tells me he's not someone just passing by
And when you cleared your throat
Was that your cue
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you
Now when I add the sum of you and me
I get confused when I keep coming up with three
You're too much for one man
But not enough for two
Dadgummit
Who is he and what is he to you
Well, you tell me men don't have much intuition
Is that what you really thinking girl
Or are you wishing
Before you wreck your old home
And search for another new
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you
The lyrics to Bill and Gloria Gaither's song "He Is Jehovah" seem to be about suspicion within a relationship. The singer and their partner encounter a man who tries to stare them down, and the partner avoids eye contact with the singer. This leads the singer to question who the man is and what he means to their partner. The lyrics suggest that there may be something going on between the partner and the man, and the singer's intuition is telling them that there is more to the situation than meets the eye.
The lyrics build tension as the singer continues to question the partner's loyalty and the nature of their relationship. The singer feels confused and confronts the partner, asking if they are considering leaving the relationship. The word "Dadgummit" used repeatedly in the song almost seems like an expression of frustration, as the singer grapples with not fully understanding the situation. The final chorus with repeated lines further emphasizes the confusion and uncertainty around the partner's intentions.
Overall, the song seems to be a cautionary tale of the dangers of suspicion and lack of communication in relationships. It encourages listeners to trust their instincts, but also to communicate openly and honestly with their partners to understand issues and avoid misunderstandings.

Very nice... I usually don't like group singers cause more than half the time I can't understand what they're saying/singing.
But here in this song, this is awesome. You can hear and feeling the glory of God filling the room.
This is beautiful. This is gold.
