[Verse 1] We were fooling ourselves Deep down in every man, woman, and child Is the fundamental idea of God It may be obscured by calamity By pomp, by worship of other things But in some form or other — it is there [Chorus] He was there He was as much a fact as we were We found the Great Reality Deep down within us He was there [Verse 2] Faith in a Power greater than ourselves And miraculous demonstrations Of that power in human lives Are facts as old as man himself We finally saw that faith in some kind of God Was a part of our make-up Just as much as the feeling we have for a friend [Chorus] He was there He was as much a fact as we were We found the Great Reality Deep down within us He was there [Bridge] Sometimes we had to search fearlessly But He was there In the last analysis It is only there that He may be found [Verse 3] We can only clear the ground a bit If our testimony helps sweep away prejudice Enables you to think honestly Encourages you to search diligently within yourself [Outro] Then if you wish, you can join us On the Broad Highway With this attitude you cannot fail The consciousness of your belief Is sure to come to you Is sure to come to you Is sure to come to you
