Its so very hard for us to take in all the story
Something close to impossible for our human minds to comprehend
This gift the Father offers us so unimaginable
His Son, His only begotten, He didn’t have to send
We speak of love as if we fully grasp its true meaning
As if earthly emotions of mortals could ever quite compare
To the overwhelming, all consuming, adoring devotion
Our Father wraps around us at the sound of just one prayer
Chorus
What would it take for us to believe?
In this most incredible story?
Know unhindered by shadows of doubt
We belong to this King of Glory
To accept Him, to claim Him, make Him our own
Allow our hearts to be His forever home
He has given everything, hoping we’ll believe
We owe Him everything, will we not believe?
If we could go there, to the day that split history in two
Stand with Him before Pilate, no hope left for appeal or reprieve
Hear the charges before Him, death sentence decreed without remorse
Walk the cobbled road by Him, carry His cross through the street
Throw our arms around Mary as she weeps at Jesus’ feet
Lay our hands upon the old rugged cross that bore our Savior’s weight
Pierce the skin of our fingertips on the thorns laid upon His head
Trace the blood’s flow as it washes our sins, transforms our fates
Chorus
Is this what it would take for us to believe?
In this most incredible story?
Know unhindered by shadows of doubt
We belong to this King of Glory
To accept Him, to claim Him, to make Him our own
Allow our hearts to be His forever home
He has given everything, hoping we’ll believe
We owe Him everything, will we not believe?
Father, I believe!
Jesus, I believe…
