~~~ I Believe the Gospel ~~~
How can I deny it,
But, oh, how can it be?
The mighty Lord of heaven for
Is living now in me!
I cannot comprehend it,
And yet I know it's true;
For I believe the Gospel,
And everything is new!
What life is this inside of me
That never was before?
What's welling up, compelling me
To worship and adore?
What Spirit moves and quickens now
To listen and obey?
What Faithful Sense directs somehow
When I don't get my way?
What interest builds inside of me
When now His Word is read?
What prompts me into charity
Where feelings once were dead?
What moves me forth to fellowship
To share my sins and pride?
What conquers fear and faithlessness,
Producing peace inside?
How can I deny it,
But, oh, how can it be?
The mighty Lord of heaven
Is living now in me!
I cannot comprehend it,
And yet I know it's true;
For I believe the Gospel,
And everything is new!
"In Him you also trusted, after you heard
the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation; in whom also,
having believed, you were sealed with the Holy
Spirit of promise" (Ephesians 1:13).

There are three things that grow more precious with age:
old wood to burn, old books to read, and
old friends to enjoy.
