I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth’s foundation.
I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it’s God’s image
He puts into all of us.
I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it’s still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.
I believe that man’s heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it’s full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.
I believe in Jesus,
God’s only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.
I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it’s the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.
I believe in God’s love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God’s judgement all will face.
I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it’s where
the unsaved will dwell.
I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they’d just see!

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:”
