It's Real
Author: H. L. C. Hymnal: Songs of Zion #16 (1981) First Line: O how well do I remember how I doubted day by day Refrain First Line: But it's real, it's real Lyrics: 1 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.
Refrain:
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.
2 When the truth came close and searching, all my joy 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. [Refrain]
3 But at last 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 that I’m His and He is mine. [Refrain]
4 So I prayed to God in earnest, and not caring what folks said.
I was hungry for the blessing; my poor soul it must be fed;
When 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! [Refrain] Topics: Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: [O how well do I remember how I doubted day by day]
