Introduction
There’s something about Jim Reeves’ voice that feels like coming home after a long day. In his rendition of “It Is No Secret (What God Can Do),” you can hear the warmth, the reassurance, and the sense of peace that comes with a true connection to faith. This song isn’t just about belief; it’s about hope and comfort, about the quiet moments when you’re reminded that you’re never really alone.
The story behind this song is as touching as the message it conveys. Written by Stuart Hamblen, a man who found faith after a turbulent life, “It Is No Secret” was born out of a personal transformation. Hamblen was known for living a rough-and-tumble life before turning to God. His journey of faith inspired him to write a song that reflects the incredible changes that faith can bring to a person’s life. Jim Reeves, with his velvet-like voice, took this song and made it resonate with millions, giving it a place in gospel music history.
What makes “It Is No Secret” special is its simplicity and sincerity. The lyrics are direct and clear, yet they hold a deep, universal truth: no matter who you are or what you’ve done, there is always a path to redemption. Reeves delivers this message with such grace that it feels like he’s singing it directly to you, offering a gentle reminder of hope and forgiveness.
It’s not just the words, though. The way Reeves’ voice sways through each note brings a sense of calm, almost like a gentle hand on your shoulder. The song feels like a prayer, but also like a conversation between friends, one encouraging the other to hold on to faith.
Listening to this song, you’re reminded of the power of music to heal and uplift. It’s no wonder that this song has endured for decades, offering solace to anyone in need of reassurance.

Lyrics
… The chimes of time ring out the news, another day is through
Someone slipped and fell, was that someone you?
You may have longed for added strength your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened, I have news for you
It is no secret what God can do
What he’s done for others he’ll do for you
With arms wide open, he’ll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
… There is no night for in his light you’ll never walk alone
You’ll always feel at home, wherever you may roam
There is no power can conquer you while God is on your side
Take him at his promise, don’t run away and hide
It is no secret what God can do
What he’s done for others he’ll do for you
With arms wide open he’ll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
