I Believe God
James And Starla Dean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whatever the cost
From this day on - until forever
I will take the narrow road
For I am not alone
I do not walk this path alone

Yes, I believe in God
This I will say to you
Mean it death or mean it life
Oh, I believe in God
For I have found the way
And I am not ashamed
I believe in God

So through the fire I'll be refined
And if that fire were to take this life
I'll be with Him forever
I will be with Him forever

You said "If any man comes after Me
He must deny himself, take his cross
And follow after Me"
So here I come after You knowing
When my life I lose




You give Yours in return
You give Your new life in return
