"God Is" (1979)- Rev. James Cleveland

@READY4REVELATION My friend in Christ, I pray you strength and virtue to last you all your days, peace and prosperity to carry you from your situation of lack to your state of Grace, and I pray that the light of the World and His Holy Word shine upon you that others may see the glory of God in you forever, in Jesus name. Amen!!

BEAUTIFUL!! GOD IS!!!

Please tell me who is on keyboards/piano?

i just love the chorus

This song really touches my spirit, Our God is! He was than, He is now and will be! I have search and I found He is a every present help!!

I dedicate this song too to my grandmother who passed on Sunday evening, this was her song she sang as a soloist in church when I was little. GOD IS FOREVER!!!

Back in 1988 I was living in Los Angeles and decided to move back to Chicago. My dad had gone home to be with the Lord and I was returning home to be of support to my mom. But I was filled with uncertainty beacuse I was giving up my wonderful California life..or so I thought! At the last church service I attended before from heading back to Chicago, the choir at my LA home church of Ward AME sang " God Is". It's been an anthem of encouragement and assuredness in knowing God Is!

PRAISE THE TRUE & LIVING GOD FOR "HIS GOODNESS" IN TEACHING & SHOWING ME TRUE REPENTANCE...AND I CAN LIVE-SIN-FREE IN HIS FACE THROUGH THE LIFE OF HIS SON, MY SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST.

To the eight people who gave this song the thumbs down you all probably young and dumb mind set on contemporary music thats all yall know. This is groovhtc a gospel drummer out of Kansas City, Missouri.

@BEALADY1 Amen and AMEN!!

I belong to a church that didn't always sing this type of spiritual music. I was introduced to this when I joined the gospel choir in high school. The teacher was a nun who had left the church. While teaching in an inner city school she learned to play this music and brought it back to the church. This caused some problems in the church but once they saw the influx of youth returning to the church the problems were no longer an issue. Thank God for her persistence.

I'm telling my age but we would tear a church up singing this back in the day!...man what memories this song brings to my heart!

I was turning 13 and my Mom if I could sing!! It was a turning point in my young life

My first time hearing this! GOD TRULY IS!!

I love it I love it... when we get discouraged by the cares of this world remember that God is... Thank you Jesus... I miss this man of God no one sings like this anymore.

Just something extra about this song... it brings out everything...and then some more!

This is one of the greatest songs EVER recorded. It has stuck with me since it was recorded. It brings so much joy to my soul. Thank You for putting it on here and I see at this time that over 290,000 people have viewed it.

Wow this is an oldie!!! lol

Peace Missionary Baptist Choir use to perform this song. I always thought it was one of the most beautiful songs that I ever heard. I get very emotional when hearing it now. Thank you for sharing this song with us.

Man I love that chorus!

GOD Is, "The Joy and Strength of My Life" I like the part "GOD is My All and All".

As a young Gospel musician I've grown up with alot of music. I'm one of the biggest fans of contemporary but, out of all the music that's been made in Gospel, THIS is my ALL-TIME favorite Gospel song ever!!!! Touches my soul everytime I hear it.

This is such a beautiful song. I remember hearing it as a young woman and loved it then and now as an adult, I truly love it more now than ever. This is the song my mom requested her Gospel Choir sing at her homegoing service about 2 weeks ago. God truly is!

God Is - when I cannot see the sun for the dark clouds; God Is when turmoil is trying to invade my life; God Is my all and all - I Love you Lord: God is my everything.

MY ALL AND ALL
