Do You Believe – 3 – v2

Do you believe

not just on the surface

but deep within you;

Do you believe,

Does the cross

change your walk

how you walk each day?

Are you the same

as at the beginning

when you first believed;

Do you believe in Christ,

in Christ’s promise,

with all your heart

with all that you are?

Do I believe – v2

Trying to answer her question

the one key question for all of us,

“Do I believe in the cross of Jesus;

Does His resurrection

guide my steps?”

Do I believe

has that fact changed me;

Am I different now

ever since I believed?

Do I believe deep within me

the truth of salvation in Jesus;

Does the cross of Christ

inform my life?

Trying to answer her question

the one key question for all of us,

“Do I believe in the cross of Jesus;

Does His resurrection

guide my steps?”

someone pisses on our joy – v2

Someone pisses on our joy

our zeal for real worship;

Someone tried to quench

God’s fire within each one of us.

We get mad, we get angry,

when this happens;

We want to join them

down in the muck, the mire.

Don’t let them quench

don’t let them blow out the Spirit;

Come, return, truly,

to your first love.

The love of God

the Spirit breathing,

beating within us;

God is our hope forever,

one love over all.
