I Believed.

Watch and see all that will be
Healing through your ministry
Life and death in tug of war
Raging angels at the core
Heaven’s angels released and sent
Conquering evil that was meant
To stop this Path of Life that’s heard
Releasing from a daughter’s word
You O Father know my grief
The tears the cries without relief
In your mercy you have come
Fulfilling promise to this one
I love you LORD and it is true
My will is just to follow you
To hear you at your deepest place
To love you throughout time and space
To reach within your Spirit’s call
To seek and search for truth in all
To bring this truth to those in need
So they may too be healed and freed
God in heaven hear my plea
Release this daughter’s destiny
Release this broken child from bed
Heal this bruised and battered head
You were broken for my pain
Suffered Crucified and Blamed
No sin was yours you carried mine
Took my punishment and crime
Nailed upon a battered cross
Sacrificed and paid the cost
The blood you shed spilled once for all
Upon the mercy seat did fall
Conquered death eternally
Released from prison we are free
Raised to life and glorious throne
Given riches to your own
Jesus, Jesus, Living Word
You become my battle sword
The Word of truth is in my hand
The mind of Christ that I might stand
The victory of this war is done
Fought by Faith in Christ your Son
By His stripes I am made well
No more torment sent from hell
I rise above this pain and loss
I choose to carry Jesus’ cross
And in this step of faith I’m freed
Because, O Father, I BELIEVED.
