The Good Confession (I Believe)
Was a boy, just nine years old
I heard the call and came
They buried me beneath the water
Then I rose again
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
I believe He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God
Through the years I barely fell
I mostly dove right in
I drank so deep from the shallow well
Only to thirst again
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
And I believe He is the Christ, Son of the Living God
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
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
I believe He is the Christ, Son of the Living God
My Lord, my Savior, oh, Hosanna, I believe
