Need to Believe

Introduce (GFS Forever) yeah
(V. Rose) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
With less time ahead, more time behind
I choose to use the rest of my life to shine
On this second phase, I aim to get it right
To walk in fellowship and hope to reign with Christ

When this body fails, be quick to repent and meditate
On the words of Jesus Christ, divine, can you relate?
Not words that kill, uplift, for real
We've all fallen short and need the Lord to heal

Spinning out, living life on your own terms is
A waste when you've got no time to learn
You either live life with no consequences
Or waste time building up your defenses
Believe in God's promise, you must choose
Avoid that Great White Throne or you lose
When you're skimming across the coals of the lake of fire
Hope you have asbestos shoes, asbestos shoes (that's why we need to believe)

So let me introduce someone I think y'all should know
He's healer of your body, and He's the lover of your soul
Every day, even if you don't know what to say
He gon' be checking on you, calling out your name
'Cause He's love, He is love

I got a need to believe
Like Fast and Furious Toretto's, Need for Speed
I cleave to the Paraclete like a compression sleeve
So when I breathe my last, eternal life I receive

He willingly chose to bleed
He could've called down a legion of angels to heave
He took the punishment and I gained a reprieve
By His stripes, I'm healed, and all I did was believe

We complicate it, what a tangled web we weave
When we deceive, just like Adam and Eve
But you think it's a fairy tale, book, man, please
It's been tampered with, sounds like an excuse to me

"I'm a good person", from the rooftops you scream
Yet, you're a liar, thief, and adulterer supreme
Your thought life on a Jumbotron screen
No, of course not, case closed (why?) It's obscene

So let me introduce someone I think y'all should know
He's healer of your body, and He's the lover of your soul
Every day, even if you don't know what to say
He gon' be checking on you, calling out your name
Calling out your name, calling out your name

Her name was Lynn, but you couldn't tell Lynn a thing
Couldn't talk about sin nor the King of Kings
Couldn't talk about the pain that her sins would bring
Because Lynn would just cringe at evangelizing

It would sting deep down in her inner being
But those who loved her soul were intervening
Then one day she was grieving and said
"No longer can I go on non-believing."

The Spirit had opened her heart and put hope in her heart
Because you really can't cope in the dark
Her spirit awoke, and now she spoke with a spark
And felt free to live like when Noah opened the Ark
And stepped foot on dry ground
Lynn's frown was just put upside down

Would you believe she was filled with jubilee and said to me
"That's why we need to believe"
