Chorus
Oh I feel Jesus all over me
Blessing me caressing me
It's Jesus making me whole
It's Jesus in my soul
Verse 1
When I cry, He comforts me
When I'm alone, He's company
When I'm sad, He makes me glad
The best friend I've ever had
Though I've failed He's faithful to me
Every day a brand new mercy
The passion I have for Him is so real
Worship is just how I feel

My soul, my soul, my soul it loves Jesus
My soul, my soul, it's Jesus in my soul
Oh it's Jesus in my soul

Oh, oh, oh my soul
Yes, yes, yes

Meaning & Inspiration
Oh I Feel Jesus is a gospel song of personal testimony about the felt presence of Jesus. The opening lines say that Jesus is all over the singer, blessing and caressing, making the singer whole and living in the soul. The verse lists the comfort He gives: He comforts in tears, keeps company in loneliness, brings gladness in sadness, and is the best friend the singer has ever had.
The next lines say that although the singer has failed, He is faithful, that every day brings a new mercy, and that the passion for Him is real and worship is simply how the singer feels. The bridge repeats that the soul loves Jesus. The themes follow 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 on the God of all comfort, Lamentations 3:22-23 on new mercies each morning, and Proverbs 18:24 on a friend who sticks closer than a brother. The warm, repeated phrases give the song a joyful, intimate tone.
