We Believe

I teared up listening to this song this past weekend... it was good for my soul to focus in on these lyrics.  Between endless political debates and petty religious nonsense that has nothing to do with the heart of Christ, it's easy for me to feel disheartened and overwhelmed by all the division within the church.  But for those who genuinely love and follow Christ, here is a reminder of the Consuming Fire that empowers and unites us...

In this time of desperation
When all we know is doubt and fear
There is only one Foundation
We believe, we believe

In this broken generation
When all is dark, You help us see
There is only one Salvation
We believe, we believe

We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He's comin' back, He's comin' back again

We believe!

So let our faith be more than anthems
Greater than the songs we sing
And in our weakness and temptations
We believe, we believe

Let the lost be found and the dead be raised
In the here and now, let love invade
Let the church live loud, our God, we'll say
We believe, we believe

And the gates of hell will not prevail
For the power of God, has torn the veil
Now we know Your love will never fail
We believe, we believe
