Lyrics

  1. I believe in Christ; he is my King!
    With all my heart to him I’ll sing;
    I’ll raise my voice in praise and joy,
    In grand amens my tongue employ.
    I believe in Christ; he is God’s Son.
    On earth to dwell his soul did come.
    He healed the sick; the dead he raised.
    Good works were his; his name be praised.

  2. I believe in Christ; oh blessed name!
    As Mary’s Son he came to reign
    ‘Mid mortal men, his earthly kin,
    To save them from the woes of sin.
    I believe in Christ, who marked the path,
    Who did gain all his Father hath,
    Who said to men: “Come, follow me,
    That ye, my friends, with God may be.”

  3. I believe in Christ–my Lord, my God!
    My feet he plants on gospel sod.
    I’ll worship him with all my might;
    He is the source of truth and light.
    I believe in Christ; he ransoms me.
    From Satan’s grasp he sets me free,
    And I shall live with joy and love
    In his eternal courts above.

  4. I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!
    From him I’ll gain my fondest dream;
    And while I strive through grief and pain,
    His voice is heard: “Ye shall obtain.”
    I believe in Christ; so come what may,
    With him I’ll stand in that great day
    When on this earth he comes again
    To rule among the sons of men.
