Bethlehem
He was born there
I believe, yes I believe
Galilee
Jesus, walked there
I believe, Oh, I believe
Gethsemane
My Savior prayed there
On Calvary
He died alone
But the tomb
He left there
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
"Bethlehem, He was born there. There was nothing sacred about that manger in Bethlehem. Jesus could have been born in the best hotel room in the city, if it had been left open for Him. But He wasn't pushy, and still isn't. He moves only into the places we vacate for Him. There was room that night only in the stable. So, that's where He was born."
Galilee
Jesus walked there
I believe, oh I believe
"Jesus walked with common men. But there was nothing common about His words. They upset every comfortable ethic. He upset judicial systems when He said, 'Love those who hate you.' He upset patterns of religion by declaring that real temples of worship were in the hearts of believers. He refused to discuss laws and rules governing people's actions. But zeroed in on their thoughts and attitudes instead. If Christ had been a philosopher, they could have debated Him. If He'd been a warrior, they could have fought Him. Had He been a religionist, they could have ignored Him as an eccentric. But Christ was Love, and what do you do with that?"
Gethsemane
My Savior prayed there
On Calvary He died alone
"Gethsemane was agony for Christ. In those dark hours He cried in desperation, 'Father, if it be Your will let this cup pass from Me.' But it wasn't God's will and Jesus died, alone."
But the tomb
Jesus left there
I believe, I believe
"God could have had Jesus resurrected right from the cross when no one was around. Instead He arranged a full burial with grave clothes, a tomb, and even a Roman seal. But after three days conquering death Jesus walked out free. Leaving for all to see the massive stone rolled away and the empty tomb."
And now He lives
And reigns forever
Oh, I believe, yes I believe
And He prays
For us in heaven
I believe, oh, I believe
And with the ones
Who've gone before me
I will praise the Prince of peace
Alleluia, alleluia
I believe, yes I believe
I believe, I believe
