The God I Believe

Who’s the God you believe?

Who’s the God you trust?

Who’s the object of your faith?

Is he cosmic dust?

Do you pray to him?

Do you know if he hears?

Can you answer these queries?

Do you even care?

Whatever your response

Permit me still to share

The God in whom I believe

The God who is right here.

I believe in the Creator

The God who spoke and it was done,

The Creator of Adam and Eve

And by extension everyone.

In six days He finished

Everything He had planned

Then He crowned it with humans

When he created man.

By His word light came forth

And the darkness was dispelled,

The day and the night created He

And also the heavens and hell.

Earth He also created

For every man to inhabit

And He did all of this

By His Son and through His Spirit.

I believe in the Heavenly Father

That hears my every prayer,

I believe in a personal God

I know that He always cares.

He is with me everyday

And in my heart He lives

And every possible thing I need

In His time He gives.

  

He does not always respond

In the way that I feel

But He always assures me

That my salvation He has sealed.

I can trust Him always

Even when there is no trace

For the truth of the matter is

None can ever take His place.

He sent me His Son Jesus

Who came and died for my sin

I know he has forgiven me

For in faith I came to Him.

He did not even stop there

But He took me to another level

When He gave me His Holy Spirit

To help me resist the devil.

The God I believe

Walks with me each and every day,

His blessed Holy Spirit

Guides me all the way.

Even when I am stubborn

He doesn’t give up on me

But He points me to His Word

And deals with me patiently.

He has promised me a home

In His kingdom with Him

Where one day I will be free

From the very presence of sin.

In this God I believe,

To this God I cleave,

From Him salvation I received,

Praise His name I am relieved.
