I Believe In You Now
Michael W. Smith · Live The Life [1998]
Once upon a time
I was faithless, running blind
Thru the Valley of the Lost
So now you find it rather strange
When you hear me claim the name
Of the one who bears the cross
And I say
Chorus:
I believe in you now
A new light is showing me how
I used to walk in the shadows of doubt
But I believe in you now
2nd Verse:
Will there ever come a day
When you follow in the way
Of the truth that sets you free
To where the thunder of a voice
And the echo of a choice
Wil bring you to your knees
No longer running thru the night
A conversion to the light
Giving way to disbelief
And you say
Chorus
I Believe In You Now
