We Believe | Newsboys | Lyrics





                                   When tragedy struck out family,
                                                        I chose to keep believing.


in the resurrection of Jesus Christ
the living faith he gave me in the spring of 1974
the years of blessings He gave us in the years since the
origination of my faith and after tragedy struck

I chose to believe 

because my life was on a solid foundation
built by the men of God that God
called throughout the scriptures
with Jesus Christ as it's very cornerstone
I chose to believe

At last night's fundraiser for Ken and Jody Shank I saw the living faith in the thousands of people
that showed up.
Friends who chose to believe
in the resurrection of Jesus Christ
in his holy spirit

Friends who chose to lift up the cross of Jesus Christ for their good friends.

A wonderful teacher 
                   who impacted so many lives at Legacy Christian Academy
Her husband who touched
 so many lives with his laughter 
and his desire to make children and adults smile
 with his Santa appearances every year.
Last night I saw 2 people, despite the afflictions bestowed on them 
who chose to continue  believing
in the resurrection of Jesus Christ
in the living faith that gave them their living hope

After attending this gala we joined two other friends to watch the movie Woodlawn, 
a movie based on a true story about how Jesus Christ touched the hearts of the white and black football players and ended their team's racial divide. A story made possible because of
                                                                Expo 72 

where 100 of thousands chose to believe
in the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
in the living hope
in the holy spirit

In the racial divide of the 70's Jesus Christ changed the hearts and minds of a town marred by violence and hatred. Jesus touched one single football team

A team that chose to believe
in the resurrection of Jesus Christ
a living hope that gives hope to all that are loss
to those who want disparately to know that hope
that only Jesus  can provide

At the end of the movie, we talked about the Jesus revolution that began with the Expo 72 gathering.
Where many chose to 
believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ
in his holy spirit

On July 16, 2016 we will once again see the greatest Jesus revolution as people of all colors
                                                                 gather in 
                            Washington DC to declare Jesus Christ as their living hope, 

even in the face of tragedy
even in the face of a life-altering diagnosis 

many will make decisions for Jesus Christ for the very first time
many will come back ready to grow in their faith

                                                       Life is hard. 
                                                      Life is painful.
                                                      Life may seem impossible,

                                           but to those who choose to believe in the
resurrection of Jesus Christ

Life is victorious!
