John P. Kee's song 'Jesus Is Real' is a gospel declaration of personal faith and experience with God. The lyrics affirm the certainty of Jesus' presence and reality in the believer's life, especially during times of loneliness or struggle. Kee describes feeling God's presence physically and spiritually, from his hands to his soul. The song emphasizes that knowing Jesus is real comes from personal encounter, not just doctrine. It encourages listeners to testify to God's faithfulness and closeness. The repeated refrain 'I know the Lord is real to me' serves as a confident confession of faith.

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

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?

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

Jesus is Real
