This Thing Is Real - CARMAN

Well I walked down to my local A of G

To look around and see what I could see

I heard somebody shout spun myself about

Then I saw this big, old deacon man

Running straight towards me

His face was red, he shook his head

He looked up at me and said

This thing is real

This thing is real

This automatic all-fanatic blessing I feel

You may not understand

Why we shout and raise our hands

It’s only because this thing is real

Frightened in the back row there I sat

I must admit I was nervous as a cat

I felt the Spirit’s groove

Then started to move

The Holy Ghost done showed me there

Where it’s really at

Was it a dream

Too real it seemed

But you outta hear me scream

This thing is real

This thing is real

This automatic all-fanatic blessing I feel

You may not understand

Why we shout and raise our hands

It’s only because this thing is real

Let me tell you what it feels like

It’s just like fire shut up in my bones

This thing is real

This thing is real

This automatic all-fanatic blessing I feel

You may not understand

Why we shout and raise our hands

It’s only because this thing is real

Everyone should know, this thing is real

Tell somebody, tell someone

It’s real I know, I know it’s real
