Are You Real
KJ-52 Lyrics

So much stress keeps running through me now
I am overwhelmed by stress and anxiety.

I fell into a mess that I wish I could climb out
I am stuck in a situation that I cannot seem to escape from.

I guess I'll hide it so nobody will find out
I will pretend that everything is okay and hide my problems from others.

That way everyone thinks everything is fine now
I want others to think that I am doing well, even though I am struggling.

At home things are messed up with mom and dad
There are problems going on within my family.

And at school all my friends stab me in the back
My friends are not really my friends and they have betrayed me.

No one is real anymore I hate the way they act
I feel like people are not being honest and genuine.

There is so many things I wish I had
There are things that I want and feel like I need to be happier.

So God if your there do you understand
I am questioning if God exists and if he understands my struggles.

Don't you care about anything that's happening
I am questioning if God cares about my problems and situation.

It's not fair to put me through all this junk again
I feel like life is unfair and I am going through difficult times.

You see that I'm scared so help me if you can
I am scared and asking God for help.

So please speak loud and clear 'cause I'm listening
I am asking God to communicate with me clearly so I can understand.

I need to know that your real 'cause I'm struggling
I need to feel reassured that God is real because I am going through a tough time.

You need to show that your real 'cause I'm stumbling
I need God to demonstrate his presence and existence because I am struggling.

Show me that you care and this is what I'm saying
I am asking God to show me that he cares about me and my struggles.

It was right then when everything it began to change
Something significant happened that caused a change in my perspective.

I started looking at these things in a different way
I began to see things from a new perspective.

I saw life through God's eyes and it wasn't the same
I began to understand life from a spiritual perspective and it changed my outlook.

That was right at the time I called on your name
I reached out to God during this time of change and transformation.

And then I saw all the lies that was thrown my way
I became aware of the deception and falsehoods that I had been believing.

I recognized that I need you and on that day
I realized that I needed God in my life.

I cried out and seeked you that was when you came
I prayed and sought God's presence and felt a sense of comfort and guidance.

Now that I see you I've been through a major change
My encounter with God has caused a significant transformation in my life.

I believe you are real 'cause it's so plain
I am convinced of God's existence because of my experience with him.

Finally I feel that I can make it through anything
My newfound belief in God has given me a sense of strength and resilience.

It don't matter what they speak or if they hate
I am no longer affected by the opinions and words of others.

They can't keep me down no more 'cause I've seen your face
My encounter with God has given me a sense of liberation and freedom.

And from now never will I be ashamed
I will no longer be ashamed of my faith and belief in God.

'Cause I'm a stand strong I won't bend or sway
I will remain strong in my faith and conviction, regardless of what happens.

Now that I know that you are real it's gonna be ok
My belief in God has given me a sense of peace and comfort.

I hear you speaking in my ear and this is what you say
I feel like God is communicating with me and guiding me.

See there is a war that's going on outside
There is a spiritual battle taking place in the world.

You can try and ignore it and just run and hide
You can choose to ignore the battle and avoid it.

But everyday more and more people die
The consequences of this battle are very real and serious.

See the battle is for souls and we are on the front lines
The battle is for the salvation of souls and we are all involved in it.

So many soldiers are too scared to fight
Many people are afraid to engage in the battle for salvation.

They're too worried about what people thinking of their life
They are concerned about their reputation and what others think of them.

How can you fight if you won't lay down ya pride
It is difficult to engage in the battle if you are not willing to humble yourself.

And how will anyone see if you won't shine your light
You need to be a witness and share your faith with others.

So many of your friends just walking around blind
Many people are living their lives without spiritual purpose or awareness.

And you've got the source that can open up their eyes
You have faith in God, which can help others see the truth and find salvation.

It's y'alls choice what you'll do with your lives
It is up to each person to decide what they will do with their life.

But I'm gonna go to war 'cause I've made up my mind
The singer has made a decision to engage in the battle for salvation.

Jesus gave his life when he went and died
The sacrifice of Jesus is the motivation and inspiration for the singer's actions.

So the least I can do is just give him all of mine
In response to Jesus' sacrifice, the singer is willing to give his life and efforts.

So how many of y'all are ready to fight by my side
The singer is calling on others to join him in the battle for salvation.

'Cause this is what he's saying here tonight
The singer believes that God is calling him to engage in the battle and share his faith.

Are you real I want to know
The singer is questioning God's existence and presence in his life.

Are you real then let it go
The singer is asking God to demonstrate his existence and presence.

Are you real I want to know
The singer is continuing to express his doubts and questions about God.

Are you real then let it show
The singer is asking God to reveal himself and demonstrate his presence.
