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.
MAN this takes me back. it was in 81, i was living in bay city, tx. i had gotten saved in 79 and i was away from home and friends while working on the railroad. there was this radio station kjoj, the joy of JESUS, and i had this rinky radio that had a clothes hanger for an antenna. i was fighting the temptations of satan, trying to get me to come back into darkness and one night as i was reading the word and listening to kjoj they played this song. it has been my favorite ever since. bro.ken
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 love this song!!! This song is classical and could never get old!!!! The words are beautiful!!! God is my all in all!!! He promise to keep me and never to leave me! Whom ever wrote this song God was truly talking to them, cause its so beautiful!
This is my favorite song, it give me CHILLS everytime i hear it....if u wanna no what i'm talking about just close your eyes and listen wit yo heart.....GOD IS MY ALL AND ALL!!!!
This was my very first song that I had sung when I was 12 or 13 years old. I did not understand the meaning of the words but now that I am older I understand all of the old songs that we sung in church choir. All of the hymn songs. We did not understand what these songs meant but it is embedded in us and now those songs sustain us now that we are all older. I love this song and it does bring back memories. I thank you and love you God no matter what this life brings to your people.
This is one of my favorite Gospel songs EVER!!!!ALL the stuff have been threw all the struggles, oh my BUT it had not been for GOD!!!!OH MY this song always makes me tear up!!!!This is gospel!!!
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.
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!
This is one of 4 or 5 of my favorite songs by the late Rev. James Cleveland. There were times, I shed tears from this song. Yes, "God Is" real, joy, love and 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.
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!
To those of you that don't understand this music, you really don't understand GOD. GOD is mean just what it say, whatever you need him to be in your life, thats exactly what he will be. HE is my all and all...
Amen!!! They have so much more meaning and Spirit. It brings you right back to God without you having to wonder if they are singing about God or their lover. My GOD IS!!!
When u truly love good gospel music,it's impossible to pick just ONE all time favorite song. This is definitely a classic for the ages! I just love it...soothes my soul.
Thanks so much for posting this song. This is my all time most favorite song and I needed to hear this right now in my life. The blessing of the Lord continually be upon you.
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.
Amen, Thank you Jesus for one more day, for allowing me to see, feel, touch, love, cry, laugh, hope, dream, walk, crawl, think, etc. Thank you for my parents, my cuzins, aunts, brother, sisters, friends, foes, etc. Thank you for my Wife and the joys of marriage and family. Thank you for watching over me during my dark days, with your light. All these things I ask and pray in Jesus name, for give me Lord for my sins, AMEN.
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!!!
God Is. . . What else can any of us declare! He who has set the SUN to shower the earth by day and the Moon by nite-- is indeed our all and all!!!! Praise him in times of sorrow and he'll bless you to have tomorrows' that you'll be able to count all joy!
wow! it has been so many years since I've heard this song and it is as beautiful today as it was then. When I think of all the things that are happening now in the world I'm just glad to that truly, "God Is"
GOD IS!!! WOW!!! This song was a classic before it hit the stores back in the day...hehehe Every "black" church choir would sing this song. It takes me way back when I was livin' in St. Louis, MO as a kid. 1460 KIRL AM...ya couldn't get away from this song especially at ya folks house during special dinners/holidays ect.
They sung this song at my sister's memorial service at her home church in the Bronx five years ago and when I was in the church choir and it is still good now as it was then.
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.
I thank God for all His goodness to us . May we all remember to give our whole heart to him and trust that He is . In 2010 we all need to draw closer and Honor that is IS GOD YES HE 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.
"1Utopian" I will keep this in my prayers. Just remember that you can go to God for yourself in prayer if you are born again! You can have "gospel church" in your own home if you have Jesus in your heart! Be Blessed!!!! :)
Thank you so much for this! My great-aunt Daisy (grandma's sister) used to sing this song on the choir at church. I never heard the original until now. I must say, much respect to James Cleveland, but Aunt Daisy's version is still my favorite! This brings back so many great memories of my youth...not truly knowing who God was but still being moved by the beautiful lyrics.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;and then shall the end come.matthew:24:14. THANKS JESUS.
Like you, I am not a shouter....but this one moves me in all ways...even when I was much younger, I truly liked this song. Thank you for posting it here.

God is the JOY and the STRENGTH of my life!
