Vicki Yohe - Real Lyrics
Lyrics
There is a passion burning
Within my heart
To know all I can of you
Do I need to see you with
My mortal eyes
Is there someway I can hear
Your gentle voice
Standing in the fields
Standing tall
Down in the valley
By the mountain side
I see the fields clothed
In blankets green
Giving shade to all
Beneath the fertile soil
Oh how wonderful
It is to know
That I have all these
Things to show me
He's more than what I feel
Oh he's real like a summer day
Real like a babies smile
Real like a morning dew
Like a mountain reaching to the sky
Real like a broken man
Suddenly made new
I'm here to tell you it's more
Than what I feel
He's real he's real
Ooooh he's real he's real
There is a maker who formed the
Highest peak and to breathe
Into the shell of man
And gave him life
He's the one who makes the
Sun to shine
He causes the rain to fall
And the rivers to run
And the birds to rise
There is a hunger deep
Within my heart going far
Beyond the face of my
Circumstance, it constantly
Yearns to know a Holy God
Trying to figure out he
Would love such a filthy amn
Still it's wonderful to know
That I have all these things
To show me
He's more than what I feel
Look around see the beauty
Of it all
No imitation from what
Has been made his
Love surrounds us even
Now this is how

Because of Who you Are-Vicki Yohe
Meaning & Inspiration
Vicki Yohe’s 2008 release, "Real," from the album *Because of Who You Are*, stands as a powerful testament to the unwavering truth and transformative power of God’s nature. At its core, the song is an exploration of authentic faith, a declaration that God's character, as revealed in Scripture, is the bedrock upon which our trust and hope are built. Yohe masterfully articulates a message that resonates deeply with the human longing for stability in an often-unpredictable world, grounding that stability in the unchanging attributes of the Almighty. The song directly confronts the transient nature of earthly things, contrasting them with the eternal and dependable essence of God. This is beautifully echoed in passages like Isaiah 40:8, which states, "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever," underscoring the song's central theme of divine permanence. The lyrical journey invites listeners to move beyond superficial understandings of spirituality towards a profound appreciation for God’s genuine faithfulness. Yohe’s delivery, imbued with a sincere conviction, amplifies the song’s ability to encourage a deeper engagement with spiritual truths. The message encourages a steadfast belief in God's promises, reminding us that His love is not conditional or subject to change, much like the prophet Jeremiah’s declaration in Lamentations 3:22-23: “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” This perspective shifts the focus from our own fluctuating emotions or circumstances to the constant, reliable source of God's character. Ultimately, "Real" is an anthem of unwavering trust, urging believers to anchor their lives in the unshakeable reality of who God is, providing a solid foundation for a life lived in genuine worship and enduring hope, reflecting the assurance found in Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
