As I Believe ()

Mark V. Markov

As I Believe
Author: Mark V. Markov

From all the troubles
From all the hassles
From all the problems

I want out
To live in peace
To live in harmony
I want out
Doing God's will
Longing for eternity

I want out
Through Christ I am free
I want out
To always believe
For I am redeemed
With the Creator of all life
Forever to be

As I believe
Now I can clearly see
As I believe
Now I can be

Within inside
Shines the everlasting light
Jesus Christ is my Savior
O Holy Spirit,
Please always lead my life

From all the troubles
From all the hassles
From all the problems

I want out
To live in peace
To live in harmony
I want out
Doing God's will
Longing for eternity

I want out
Through Christ I am free
I want out
To always believe
For I am redeemed
With Elohim forever to be

As I believe
Now I can clearly see
As I believe
Now I can be

There's more to life
Then what meets the eye
The spirit, body, soul
Needs Jesus Christ

As I believe
Now I can clearly see
As I believe
Now I can be...

    Excellent stuff. Did you experience a gap, a troublesome gap, before knowing of the Person of the Holy Ghost and His purposes? It seemed as if pastor had taught reasonably well about Father and Son. But that Third Guy? Wayne Blair.
