COULD YOU BELIEVE - 1999

He was a friend to sinners
He was a gentle man
Beautiful humble master plan
His voice could pierce the darkness
Quiet an angry sea
I hear Him saying, “Follow Me”
I look in your eyes and I tell you these things
But somehow I know that it’s hard to believe

Could you believe if I really was like Him?
If I lived all the things that I said?
If, for a change, I would kneel down before you
And serve you instead?
Could you believe?

He was the Lamb of mercy
Undying hope of men
Waiting for love to come again
He is the Light of Heaven
Radiant Prince of Peace
I hear Him saying, “Follow Me”
I look in your eyes and I tell you these things
But somehow I know that it’s hard to believe

Could you believe if I carried my own cross?
If I saw that the children were fed?
If, for a moment, I held my opinion
And quietly led?
Could you believe?

I am meant to be a pure reflection of the truth
So, above it all, I pray that I will not obscure the view

Could you believe if I stood here transparent
And through me you could look in His eyes?
Could you believe if you saw right inside
And there was no disguise?

Could you believe if I really was like Him?
If I lived all the words that I said?
If it was clear that I held in my heart
What I know in my head?
Could you believe?
Could you believe?
Looking at me
Could you believe?
Could you believe?
