John P. Kee - Jesus is Real Lyrics
Lyrics
Jesus is real
I know the Lord is real to me
Jesus is real
I know the Lord is real to me
(Sometimes when I'm feeling low, no where to go,)
(Jesus comes along and He makes me strong.)
For I know, oh
Jesus is real
Jesus is real
I know the Lord is real to me
Jesus is real
I know the Lord is real to me
(Sometimes when I'm feeling down,)
(No one around, Jesus is a friend, that I've found.)
For I know, oh
Jesus is real
I can feel Him in my hands
I can feel Him in my feet
(I can feel the Lord, God, Jesus all over me)
For I know, oh
Jesus is real
I can feel Him in my heart
I can feel Him in my soul
(I can even feel Him, from the crown of my head, to my toes)
For I know, oh
Jesus is real
Real, real, real
Oh, yes, I know
How do you know He's real?
How do you know He's real?
How do you know He's real?
I know He is
I know He is
I know He is
Yes, He's real
Yes, yes, yes
Yes, He's real
For I know, oh
Jesus is real
He's real
The Lord is so real

John P. Kee & New Life - Jesus Is Real
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on July 29, 2008, John P. Kee & New Life’s "Jesus Is Real" is a powerful declaration of unwavering faith, a song that transcends mere musical performance to become a profound spiritual testament. The core message, as explicitly stated and repeatedly affirmed, is the tangible, ever-present reality of Jesus Christ in the life of the believer. This isn't an abstract theological concept but a lived experience, a truth known intimately through personal encounter. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of this personal knowledge, emphasizing that even in moments of despair and isolation – when one feels low or alone – Jesus is the source of strength and a steadfast friend. This echoes the biblical promise found in Hebrews 13:5, "I will never leave you nor forsake you," and Psalm 27:10, which states that even if one's parents forsake them, the Lord will gather them in. The song articulates a profound understanding of divine presence, where faith allows believers to feel Christ not just intellectually, but physically and spiritually. The lines about feeling Him in hands and feet, and from head to toe, speak to a holistic recognition of God’s immanence, a concept deeply rooted in Scripture. This sensory perception of God’s presence aligns with verses like Acts 17:28, where Paul reminds the Athenians that "in him we live and move and have our being," suggesting that God is intimately involved in our every physical action and existence. Furthermore, the internal experience of feeling Him in the heart and soul points to the transformative power of faith, where the Holy Spirit indwells the believer, as described in 1 Corinthians 3:16: "Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?" The repeated inquiry, "How do you know He's real?" is not a challenge but an invitation, a rhetorical device that invites the listener to consider their own personal experience of Christ. The unwavering response, "I know He is," underscores the certainty that comes from faith, a certainty that surpasses empirical proof and rests on the foundation of personal testimony and divine revelation. This certainty is the bedrock of Christian belief, as articulated in Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." The song’s strength lies in its simplicity and directness, making it accessible to all who seek a deeper connection with their faith. It serves as a powerful reminder that for those who believe, Jesus is not an ancient figure in a historical narrative, but a vibrant, active presence in the present, constantly reinforcing His reality through His unending love and support.
