My Core Beliefs

Everyone believes in something or other
whether it's religion, God, humanity at heart
there deep down inside in our soul
is a place where life does indeed start

I believe in a loving sovereign God
who sent His son to earth for my salvation
there at Calvary's cross paid my sins
all of this for my eternal redemption

This God created all this world
by the word of His mouth did He
gave me His inerrant holy word
so by it my heart's set free

This God by His holy scriptures
and His holy spirit dwelling within
guides me to walk in His way
all the way to heaven away from sin

I believe because God convinces
that His divine word is fully true
showing that this Lord God loves me
electing myself to be changed anew

This is the reason why
I believe what I do
not everyone will duly agree
but our hearts all must be true

(This is one of my oldies from some years ago which some of my new friends would like to see. )
