The Good Confession (I Believe)
[Verse 1]
I was a boy
Just nine years old
I heard the call and came
They buried me
Beneath the water
Then I rose again

[Pre-Chorus]
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:

[Chorus]
'I believe He is the Christ, Son of the living God'"

[Verse 2]
And through the years
I barely fell
I mostly dove right in
I drank so deep
From the shallow well
Only to thirst again

[Pre-Chorus]
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]
I believe He is the Christ, Son of the living God (Son of the Living God)
And I believe He is the Christ, Son of the living God

[Bridge]
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
Oh, I believe

[Pre-Chorus]
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]
And I believe He is the Christ, Son of the living God
And I believe He is the Christ, Son of the living God (Son of the living God)
And I believe He is the Christ, Son of the living God (Son of the living God)
And I believe He is the Christ, Son of the living God (Son of the living God)
[Outro]
My Lord, My Savior
My Lord, My Savior
I believe
