“The Gospel Truth II” is the second song in the “Gospel Truth” series from the 1997 Disney animated film “Hercules“. Like the first song, “The Gospel Truth I”, it is performed by a group of gospel singers who serve as the film’s narrators.
In the song, the narrators continue to describe the history and mythology of the Greek gods, focusing specifically on the story of how Zeus and Hera had a son named Hercules. They explain how Hercules was stripped of his godhood as an infant and raised as a mortal, setting up the main plot of the film.
Like the other songs in the “Gospel Truth” series, “The Gospel Truth II” blends traditional gospel music with elements of ancient mythology to create a unique and memorable sound. The song’s lively tempo and catchy lyrics have made it a fan favorite over the years.
