Lyrics
- Sing:
- Bethlehem, He was born there, I believe, I believe
- Galilee, Jesus walked there, I believe, I believe
- Gethsemane, my Savior prayed there, on Calvary, He died
alone
- But the tomb, He left there, I believe, I believe, I
believe, I believe
-
- Talk:
- [Bethlehem, He was born there. There was nothing sacred about that manger in Bethlehem, Jesus
could have been born in the best hotel room in the city, if it had been left
open for Him. But He wasn't pushy, He
still isn't. He moves only into the
places we vacate for Him. There was
room, that night, only in the stable, so, that's where He was born.]

- Sing:
- Galilee, Jesus walked there, I believe, I believe
-
- Talk:
- [Jesus walked with common men, but there was nothing common
about His words, they upset every comfortable ethic. He upset judicial systems when He said, "Love those who hate
you." He upset patterns of
religion, by declaring that real temples of worship, were in the hearts of
believers. He refused to discuss laws
and rules governing people's actions, but zeroed in on their thoughts and
attitudes instead. If Christ had been a
philosopher, they could have debated Him.
If He had been a warrior they could have fought Him. Had He been a religionist, they could have
ignored Him, as an eccentric, but Christ was love,
- what do you do with that?]
-
- Sing:
- Gethsemane, my Savior prayed there, on Calvary, He died
alone.
-
- Talk:
- [Gethsemane was agony for Christ. In those dark hours, He cried in desperation, "Father, if it
be Your will, let this cup pass from me.", but it wasn't Gods will and
Jesus died alone.]
-
- Sing:
- But the tomb, Jesus left there, I believe, I believe
-
- Talk:
- [God could have had Jesus resurrected right from the cross,
when no one was around, instead, He arranged a full burial, with grave clothes,
a tomb, and even a roman seal, but after three days, conquering death, Jesus
walked out free, leaving for all to see, (key change) the massive stone rolled
away, and the empty tomb!]
-
- Sing:
- And now, He lives and reigns forever, I believe, I believe
- And He prays for us in Heaven, I believe, I believe
- And with the ones who've gone before me, I will praise the
Prince of Peace!
- Hallelujah, hallelujah, I believe, I believe, I believe, I
believe!
