Analysis of I Believe In You

Joseph W Strycharz 1970 (Pomona, CA)



You can make the lame to walk,
You can make a blind man see.
You have made the dead to walk,
An You have set me free.

You have healed my broken heart,
You give me strength when I am weak.
When I want to win the lost,
You give me the words to speak.

You can cause the sun to shine,
You command the wind and rain.
When I face temptation, Lord
I can stand bold in Your name.

All things are possible,
As long as I have faith in You.
You've cleansed me, Lord and made me new,
I owe my life to You
