Something On The Inside
Bishop Ronald E. Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I may not know
There are some places
I can't go
But I'm sure
Of this one thing
That God is real
Him deep within
Yes, God is real
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
Two:
Some folks may doubt
Some folks may scorn
All can desert
And leave me alone
But as for me
I'll take God's part
For God is real and I can feel
Him in my heart
Three:
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

There is no sound that has deliverance in it like the sound of praise and worship coming from a Pentecostal Church Service!
