I Believe
Darlene Mccoy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said on Sunday how much I want revival
But then on Monday I can't even find my bible
Where's power, the power of the cross in my life?

I'm sick of playing the game of religion
I'm tired of loosing my reason for living
Where's power, the power of the cross in my life?

Oh oh

I'm not content just to walk through my life
Giving in to the lies walking in compromises Now
we cried out as a generation that was lost
But now is found in the power of the cross

We believe in You, we believe in the power of your words and it's true
We believe in You,
so we lay down our cause that our cross might be found in You

I'm not satisfied doing in my own ways
I'm not satisfied to do church and walk away
I'm not satisfied there's no love in my life but You
I'm not satisfied living in yesterday's hour
I'm not satisfied to have the form but not power
I'm not satisfied oh Lord I am crucified in You

We believe in You, we believe in the power of your words and it's true
We believe in You,
so we lay down our cause that our cross might be found in You

I'm not satisfied doing in my own ways
I'm not satisfied to do church and walk away
I'm not satisfied there's no love in my life but You
I'm not satisfied living in yesterday's hour
I'm not satisfied to have the form but not power
I'm not satisfied oh Lord I am crucified in You

We believe in You, we believe in the power of your words and it's true
We believe in You,
so we lay down our cause that our cross might be found

so we lay down our cause that our cross might be found
so we lay down our cause that our cross might be found in You.

I said on Sunday how much I want revival
I expressed my desire for a spiritual awakening on Sunday

But then on Monday I can't even find my bible
However, on Monday, I can't even locate my bible

Where's power, the power of the cross in my life?
I am questioning the lack of impact that the symbol of the cross has in my life

I'm sick of playing the game of religion
I am tired of engaging in meaningless religious rituals

I'm tired of loosing my reason for living
I am becoming frustrated with feeling like I am losing my sense of purpose in life

Where's power, the power of the cross in my life?
I continue to question the lack of influence of the cross in my life

I'm not content just to walk through my life
I do not want to simply go through the motions of living

Giving in to the lies walking in compromises Now
I do not want to give in to deceitful thinking and live with compromises

we cried out as a generation that was lost
My generation expressed a sense of aimlessness and confusion

But now is found in the power of the cross
However, we have found a sense of purpose in the power of the cross

We believe in You, we believe in the power of your words and it's true
We have faith in you and in the truth of your teachings

so we lay down our cause that our cross might be found in You

I do not want to simply have the appearance of faith without its true transformative power

I'm not satisfied oh Lord I am crucified in You
Ultimately, I only find fulfillment in being united with you and dying to myself

We believe in You, we believe in the power of your words and it's true
We continue to have faith in you and in the truth of your teachings

so we lay down our cause that our cross might be found
We continue to surrender ourselves in order to find our purpose in you

so we lay down our cause that our cross might be found in You.
We continue to surrender ourselves in order to find our purpose in you
