Yet I Believe

I was browsing through blogs today--something I usually don't do--and happened upon a blog by a woman named Nikki (Nikki's blog: Isn't this kind of personal?). Her blog blessed me, but especially one post with lyrics on it to a song. I've never heard the song, but I thought it was beautiful. I wanted to share it with you:

They heard his voice; they saw his face
The promised Savior come to earth in days long past
They saw him heal the sick and cause the lame to stand
They watched as wind and waves were stilled at his command
And though I did not see him calm the raging seas
His hand has calmed my troubled heart
And I believe

They heard his voice; they saw his face
They heard his teachings of forgiveness, love and faith
He blessed their little ones; he taught them how to pray;
He fed the multitudes who hungered by the way
And though I did not taste the bread he bade them eat
His word is manna to my soul
And I believe

They saw him scourged and mocked to scorn
They heard the angry crowd, they saw him crowned with thorns
They watched him bend beneath our burden in the streets
They saw the bitter nails that pierced his hands and feet
And though I was not there to watch with them at Calvary
My spirit weeps
I have not seen
Yet I believe

They heard his voice; they saw his face
The risen Jesus, crowned with vict'ry o'er the grave
And though I did not see his triumph over death
Though I did not see him draw immortal breath
I know he lived and died and lived again for me
My faith is sure
I have not seen
Yet I believe

I think you can listen to a copy of this song at the following site: I Have Not Seen, Yet I Believe. May these words bless you. What a privilege to believe, though we have not seen! May we all grow this kind of faith.
