Song of the Week

Sorry I haven’t been posting for a while. I’ve been busy at my day job, and working on a number of book writing projects…

This is possibly the most important song I’ve ever heard, because it chronicles a young man encountering his Savior and inheriting eternal life. It is from the movie, “Left Behind”, whose theology might not have been perfect, but to me, watching the scene where Kirk Cameron’s character, Buck Williams, becomes a Christian, is worth far more than an expensive trip to the movie theater.

(the scene is at 122:36, but you might want to watch the whole movie)

BELIEVER – by Jake

things never happen like i wish they could

only in my dreams

i’ve never been willing to give up my heart

or let myself believe

i have been waiting all of my life

just for tonight

this time i’m hoping, holding out for you

to let me see the light

so make me a believer for once in my life

right here and now touch me somehow

let it be tonight

it’s all on the line, i’m down on my knees

i don’t know how but i’m ready to see

clear every shadow of doubt in my mind

cuz i want to believe

i’ve been sitting here

staring at the rain all alone tonight

something about you is making me smile

with tears in my eyes

maybe you noticed, maybe you can tell

what’s happening to me, yeah

when you say my name

touch my heart again

it’s making me believe

so make me a believer for once in my life

right here and now touch me somehow

let it be tonight

it’s all on the line, i’m down on my knees

i don’t know how but i’m ready to see

clear every shadow of doubt in my mind

cuz i want to believe

why can’t this be

one of the times

when i can see

with open eyes

shine your light

i’ll never forget for the rest of my life

so make me a believer for once in my life

right here and now touch me somehow

let it be tonight

it’s all on the line, i’m down on my knees

i don’t know how but i’m ready to see

clear every shadow of doubt in my mind

cuz i want to believe
