If I Believe Lyrics

Never a moment to myself even when I'm alone

The Devil is in the spare room and the Lord's calling me home

I beautify my prison but I've still got walls of stone

And if I have to die in wonder I'll wonder if I'm going home

You say that I'm too hard on myself but I disagree

You say that it's not what I have done but what he's done for me

And that I know, but even so

A man cannot be saved and still wonder where he'll go

I've never given sight to a blind man

I've never washed my brothers feet

I've never taken in an orphan

I've never walked on the sea

I've never been before kings

And no demon's heard of me

If I have works well that's news to me

If I believed I could light up the night

But apparently I don't shine so bright

And if you are all just getting it right

Why encourage me to give up without a fight

You say that I'm too hard on myself but I disagree

You say that it's not what I have done but what he's done for me

Well I refuse to deny what I know

A man cannot be saved and still wonder where he'll go

No, please understand I must do everything I can

Until I am sure that I'm through the door

I won't leave it up to chance

And I know your heart is good

But it's trying to do what only my heart could
