I Believe

Just an old preacher man from the higher Carolina
Went to see his Maker early one morn'
I can picture again, him standing so strong and tall
Knowing in my heart, he knew who love was -- because

He believed in one God above 
He believed in You 
He believed in one God above 
Righteous and Exalted One, he believed in You

Just a kid beside my bed and on my knees
Head bowed, eyes closed, my hands interweaved
I prayed to be grown up, but now that I am
I look inside to find the child once again -- because

He believed in one God above 
He believed in You 
He believed in one God above 
God of life and God of love, he believed in You

A staff, cloak, and sandals, and a heart from above 
Ridiculed and beaten by those who He loved
I can almost see one Truth today
There is only one Father, there is only one Son
Only one Holy Spirit, 3 in 1

I believe in one God above 
I believe in You 
I believe in one God above 
Holy and Anointed one, I believe in You
