For
I Believe the Gospel
by
Kevin Hartnett, Gaithersburg,

How can
I deny it,
But,
oh, how can it be?
The
mighty Lord of heaven
Is
living now in me!
I
cannot comprehend it,
And yet
I know it's true;
For I
believe the Gospel,
And
everything is new!
What
life is this inside of me
That
never was before?
What's
welling up, compelling me
To
worship and adore?
What
Spirit moves and quickens now
To
listen and obey?
What
Faithful Sense directs somehow
When I
don't get my way?
What
interest builds inside of me
When
now His Word is read?
What
prompts me into charity
Where
feelings once were dead?
What
moves me forth to fellowship
To
share my sins and pride?
What
conquers fear and faithlessness,
Producing
peace inside?
How can
I deny it,
But,
oh, how can it be?
The
mighty Lord of heaven
Is
living now in me!
I
cannot comprehend it,
And yet
I know it's true;
For I
believe the Gospel,
And
everything is new!
"In
Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your
salvation; in whom also, having believed,
you were sealed with the Holy Spirit
of promise" (Ephesians 1:13).
