I Believe

From amidst the pain
I can hear the cries of dying nations
For a thousand years
They’ve been calling out for sweet salvation
And time after time
They’ve put it all on the line
For the promise of a much better way
But their eyes fill with tears as the joy turns to fear
As they watch it all just drifting away
If they could only hear me when I say
I believe that His loving arms
Are waiting to hold them forever
I believe that His faithful heart
Is calling them out of the cold
In a dark, cold world
There’s a lonely girl whose heart is breaking
There’s a boy who seeks
And his mind is ripe just for the taking
They learn what they can
From whatever’s at hand
With the promise of a much better way
But when life doesn’t change, and the struggles remain
Still God is there to work through the pain
If they could only feel His warm embrace
And time after time
We put it all on the line
For the promise of a much better way
But when life doesn’t change, and the struggles remain
Still God is there to work through the pain
If we can feel His warm embrace
