I sang this song at the closing of our Easter play one Resurrection Sunday!!! It was AWESOME as a way to show that on the third day MY God rose just for ME!!!!!!!! Set the church on fire!! Getting full all over again singing, "If God is dead, what makes my life worth living? I'm glad I know He lives!!!!!"
My dad was a true fan of The Mighty Clouds and he could really sing all their songs If God Is Dead was one of his favorites, listening to this video brings back precious memories, R.I.P. Pastor Marvin L Anderson
Sad to announce the passing of the FINAL original member, the late Richard Wallace (in glasses). I didn't know it until a few months ago while listening to their albums and it broke my heart to have learned that news. They are all together again... Also the two former late brothers, Michael, etc. This group WENT THRU IT with deaths back to back. I will ALWAYS LOOOOOVE them!!! May you all rise again. 😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
I listened to this as an 11-13 year old over n over on repeat! Not sure how I found it, but I’m 60 now and still looking it up! Lol! Can’t argue w NOTHING on this song! All true!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿 He lives!
This song made me want to become a bass and a tenor all at the same time. I used to practice my bass sound and falsetto sound to this song. And I know that my Redeemer lives. God's not dead...He rose!!!!
OMG, I so remember this album cover!!! Because the man in the black shirt used to scare me lol but this group is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!! I truly thank my parents who are ministers for raising me & my 13 siblings up in a home filled environment of just gospel music and purity. This is all that we knew growing up. The spiritual foundation that was laid for us STILL resides inside of me. It has kept me well grounded. I'll forever be thankful. And thank you CLOUDS... you guys are my inspiration. :)
Oh my, I love this song and I can listen to it over and over again all day long. Way back in the eighties I use to direct a choir and we sang this song. This is a powerful song...Not only must you believe in Jesus, but you must first believe that there is a God. He lives today!!
Thank you very much for uploading such a beautiful song! I've been rejoicing all day to this song. No group can make a mighty praise like the Mighty Clouds of Joy! RIP Joe Ligon. You blessed this world!
I finally found this song! I use to listen to my Mom's albums when I was a kid. This was one of the songs I discovered and never forgot. I use to play the song over and over. So beautiful! God is Beautiful!
I was 8 years old when this album came out and I remember my mom listening to this and James Cleveland all the time. When I hear this song today - I think back on simpler times of being with my mom as a child. This was back in the days of disco and I remember my mother teaching my brother and I how to do "The Bump"!
I'm glad I know he lives Amen He lives He lives. He lives to those who believes the blind can not se him only the one who knows him yes lord praise God 5/7/20❤️❤️❤️😇
This is one of my all time favorites! I've been trying to find this song for the longest.i didn't even know who the artist was! But now I know, praise God! I thank God for The Mighty Clouds of Joy for writing & singing such a beautiful, touching, soul stirring sung!! TEARS!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!
Hello David Jones your response just brought tears to my eyes. This song reminds me of my grandfather singing this song in the morning before we go to church. Well he died over 20 years ago but his name was David Jones. How ironic, if you ever read this thanks for responding and u have a blessed day.
Man - I just NEEDED that! It just kept coming to my mind over the past few weeks but I couldn't find it on Rhapsody or iTunes. But I HAD to have it this time so I just did a general web search and found it out here on TH-cam. Yes!! Now I can be at peace the rest of the day. And know that when I need it again - I can go to my "secret place" and get a fresh annointing, instilled a long time ago!
Yes David Jones Jones I've stumbled through my You Tube, I've happened to pull up Old Times Gospels. And it brought back memories. My early years when I was employed at my job. And I really missed them.from Shirley Ceasar and the Caravans. The Mighty Clouds of Joy. And the Jackson Southerners, Dixie Hummingbirds. The Blind Boys.nd many many others.
One of my favourite songs of all time. Still has the same effect on me in 2020 that it had in 1989 when I first heard it. This is a great song, and I love The Mighty Clouds of Joy.
Here I am nine months later. What is different? My mom went home to be with the LORD. Good for her; sad for me. But, He Lives! He came that we might live.
Amazing God!!! I'm sitting in my den looking out and appreciating the wind blowing softly to moderate in the trees in our backyard. He still speaks! HE LIVES!!! 🥰💞❤️🔥👏🏽🙌🏽👐🏽🙏🏾
Our mother played this song every morning no matter what we were planning to do. School work play church or our dad drinking coffee we couldn’t start the day without recognizing that we serve a living God. It was song when we celebrated her going home to the Lord and reuniting with our Dad. So many memories with this song.
This song brings back memories, the choir at a church I grew up in used to sing it. It also brings back memories of happier times. Thanks so much for for uploading this!
Great song! Heard it in the 1980s when l first believed in Jesus. It was sweet and powerful then and still is in 2023! Always stirs such great joy and assurance and heavenly hope in me. I am glad l l know Jesus lives and l shall see Him face to face someday soon and very soon! Alleluia!!
Bought this album about 1978....heard this song on the radio and it rolled around in my head for days...WOW....still play the album and still rocks my soul....can't sit still...and I have to sing every time it plays. He lives in me..... Cheers...
I love this song, because the message behind the lyrics are instrumental in getting people to acknowledge that God is real. Mighty clouds of joy takes me all the way back to the early 80s, when I first heard God is not dead, and I came to Jesus. Priceless memories.
Joe Ligon you've been doing this for 60 plus years god saw u where tired N too u home with him I no ur up there singing ur heart out u sang so great down here love joe
I am Sooooooo Glad that my JESUS IS VERY MUCH ALIVE AND IN CONTROL OF HIS WORLD! The Bible Proclaim that GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS & THE EARTH! Not Only is OUR LORD & SAVIOR ALIVE but JESUS GAVE ME A NEW LIFE WHEN HE TURNED MY life Around at the age of 16 yrs old! Yessssss JESUS IS VERY MUCH ALIVE RIGHT NOW! This Song Is STILL POWERFUL & TRUE!
Joe Ligon IS THE MAN!!!! That is so amazing how he has sang from his high school years until NOW!!!! That is absolutely phenomenal to have such a long lasting legacy and to have given your talent & soul to our Heavenly father. THE CLOUDS ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE GROUP!!!!!!! I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THEM. KEEP GOING MR. LIGON, YOU ARE TRULY A LEGEND & I PRAY THE GREATEST BLESSINGS UPON YOUR LIFE & CAREER. Thank you for reaching out to me... Love you much. :)
My grandfather loved the Mighty Clouds Of Joy. He loved this song. I remember listening to it a many days on WPCE 1400 AM riding with him in his 77 Lincoln Continental Mark V! Rest In Jesus, granddaddy.
Shannon Jackson I could be wrong. I know Richard started it off live. but I think on the album, it's Johnny Martin. I could be wrong. They could switch their voices as well. Either way, I love this song
I sang this song at the closing of our Easter play one Resurrection Sunday!!! It was AWESOME as a way to show that on the third day MY God rose just for ME!!!!!!!! Set the church on fire!! Getting full all over again singing, "If God is dead, what makes my life worth living? I'm glad I know He lives!!!!!"
Actually Christ rose Saturday afternoon.
Amen!! 💕💕
THANK U JESUS.I KNOW HE LIVES.HE LIVES IN ME.❤❤
Because He lives, we can face tomorrow, and all fear is gone, because He holds the future.
Ame Datman amen

I love the words to this song.
I used to tear up when I heard this song, and I do now!
There is no one out here that can sing this song like The Mighty Clouds of Joy.
Absolutely no. Still.brings tears to my eyes
THE CLOUDS ARE TIMELESS

I too love this song. We sang this in the youth choir back in the day. It was my response to the people who want to deny God's existence! Psalm 14:1
I loved this song as a child! My mother played this song every Sunday.
That man was an absolute POWERHOUSE!!!! Listen to how touching this song is and you're GOING TO CRY. Bless you Lord for your goodness. #Clouds
If God is dead, who can tell me where his body lies?
If God is dead what makes my life worth living?
I'm glad I know He lives....
hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
I'm glad I know He lives. Matt.28: 6-20.
This song made me want to become a bass and a tenor all at the same time. I used to practice my bass sound and falsetto sound to this song. And I know that my Redeemer lives. God's not dead...He rose!!!!
Only if the world today could just listen to this song. You have to feel this with your heart and mind then put it in your soul.
OMG, I so remember this album cover!!! Because the man in the black shirt used to scare me lol but this group is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello David Jones your response just brought tears to my eyes. This song reminds me of my grandfather singing this song in the morning before we go to church. Well he died over 20 years ago but his name was David Jones. How ironic, if you ever read this thanks for responding and u have a blessed day.

Indeed.
This song remind me of my childhood. My father would sing this around the house. RIH Daddy!

My favorite Christian song as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s. God is real and alive - halleluyah!!!!
wow this song moved me
My jamm! Gospel Skating!
Joe Ligon always gives me chills when he sings...truly annointed by God!
If God is dead, watch out for his replacement.
love this song old but i love
I think Johnny Martin starts this off, then Joe Ligon takes it over.
KingMellow11 that's actually Richard Wallace who starts it off. I was shocked when I found out I always thought it was Elmo Franklin.
Shannon Jackson I could be wrong. I know Richard started it off live. but I think on the album, it's Johnny Martin. I could be wrong. They could switch their voices as well. Either way, I love this song
KingMellow11 Me too.
I agree and think it's Johnny Martin too as I originally figured.
My dad use to sing this song and play the guitar rip 06/02/14 daddy getting teary eyed
Love that song
