From death into life He went for His own;
All power in earth, all power above,
Is given to Him for the flock of His love.
Refrain:
Only believe, only believe;
All things are possible, only believe;
Only believe, only believe;
All things are possible, only believe.
2 Fear not, precious flock, He goeth ahead,
Your Shepherd selects the path you must tread;
The waters of Mara He’ll sweeten for thee--
He drank all the bitter in Gethsemane. [Refrain]
3 Fear not, preciois flock, whatever your lot;
He enters all rooms, “the doors being shut,”
He never forsakes; He never is gone--
So count on His presence in darkness and dawn. [Refrain] Topics: God His Faithfulness; Jesus Christ Shepherd and Lamb Scripture: Mark 9:23 Languages: English Tune Title: ONLY BELIEVE
