|
I was a boy, |
|
Just nine years old, |
|
I heard the call and came. |
|
They buried me |
|
Beneath the water, |
|
Then I rose again. |
|
Well, you know my dad was a preacher man. |
|
I walked the aisle and I took his hand. |
|
He said, "Son, just do the best you can, |
|
And say the words, |
|
'I believe he is the Christ, the Son of the living God.'" |
|
Through the years |
|
I barely fell; |
|
I mostly dove right in. |
|
I drank so deep |
|
From the shallow well |
|
Only to thirst again. |
|
Well, I sang the hymns at the summer camp, |
|
Then I rocked and rolled with a lousy band |
|
Till I heard a song that took my hand |
|
And led me home. |
|
CHORUS X2 |
|
And I believe |
|
He is the Christ, |
|
Son of the living God. |
|
All I know is that I was blind |
|
But now I see |
|
That though I kick and scream, |
|
Love is leading me. |
|
And every step of the way |
|
His grace is making me; |
|
With every breath I breathe, |
|
He is saving me. |
|
And I believe. |
|
So when my body's weak and the day is long, |
|
When I feel my faith is all but gone, |
|
I'll remember when I sing this song |
|
That I believe. |
|
CHORUS X5 |
|
My Lord, My Savior |
|
My Lord, My Savior |
|
Oh, Hosanna, I believe. |
