I Believe

I was raised on the old hymns; John 3: 16
And stained-glass pictures of faith
A shepherd and a giant, Daniel and the lions
And three Hebrew boys in the flames
A coat of many colors and walls falling down
And the Red Sea becoming dry ground

I believe every line, every word
I believe every story I've heard
Written on the pages
Is the truth of the ages
And it's changing me, I believe

It's wise men and angels, blind Bartimaeus
A thief and a traitor's kiss
A walk on the water, Jairus's daughter
Five loaves and two little fish
A lonely garden where Jesus prayed
And Sunday morning with a stone rolled away

I believe every line, every word
I believe every story I've heard
Written on the pages
Is the truth of the ages
And it's changing me

I believe in the message
Of Mercy and Grace
That tells of a Savior
Who died in my place

I believe every line, every word
I believe every story I've heard
Written on the pages
Is the truth of the ages
And it's changing me, I believe
Oh, I believe
