I started this song months ago. I had the first verse written and most of the chorus was done too. I think this is the first time that I have gone back to something that I felt I had a good start on and actually completed. It feels good.
I do know that I have mixed male and female possesive pronouns in this song. It was intentional. I recognize that these words can be offensive to some but using ‘God’ over and over again can get very repetitious, especially when you already use that term in every line of the chorus.
May you recognize God’s movement and direction in your life today and always!
JOHN
‘I Believe’
I just have to tell you my story
Of God’s power, Her might and His glory
Of the life changing effects God’s love has had upon me
I now face each day with wonder
for this God whose spell I’m under
You can live this way too, just turn to the Lord and believe
I believe in the God of Abraham, Issac and David
I believe God sent Jesus His Son to show us how to love
I believe that God asks us to serve all the people around us
I believe that God wants us to know it feels great when we give
I just have to tell of salvation
Far beyond all imagination
Of the life changing effects God’s grace has had upon me
I now know that I’m forgiven
In this new life I am living
You can feel this way too, just turn to the Lord and believe
I believe in the God of Abraham, Issac and David
I believe God sent Jesus His Son to show us how to love
I believe that God asks us to serve all the people around us
I believe that God wants us to know it feels great when we give
I’ll tell you of the calm and release
In my heart, there is nothing but peace
Of the life changing effects God’s Son has had upon me
I will walk with Him forever
I’m not going back, no never
You can feel this way too, just turn to the Lord and believe
I believe in the God of Abraham, Issac and David
I believe God sent Jesus His Son to show us how to love
I believe that God asks us to serve all the people around us
I believe that God wants us to know it feels great when we give
