The song has undergone a gazillion modifications. In fact, it is often modified on the spot extemporaneously by whoever may be singing it. It is a common "praise song" in holiness, pentecostal-holiness, and pentecostal churches.
The Oneness version, of course, is the best.
"He's God in the Father.
He's God in the Son.
He's God in the Holy Ghost,
and I know these three are ONE,
I know God, is God,
and God don't never change!
I know God is God...
And JESUS is His name!"
(yes, the CORRECT Oneness version says "God don't never change")

Hmmm....the only Willie Johnson I was aware of was a black female preacher from back east, very much used of in the gifts.
