I Believe in Christ


I've had many thoughts today on what to share everything from charity, prophets, and judging. There are so many truths that are close to my heart, but none are closer that the truth that My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ Lives. As many times as I've shared my thoughts and feelings about the subject none have come closer than the words of the song "I Believe in Christ".


134: I Believe in Christ,” Hymns of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, no. 134

Fervently

1. I believe in Christ; he is my King!

With all my heart to him I’ll sing;

I’ll raise my voice in praise and joy,

In grand amens my tongue employ.

I believe in Christ; he is God’s Son.

On earth to dwell his soul did come.

He healed the sick; the dead he raised.

Good works were his; his name be praised.

2. I believe in Christ; oh blessed name!

As Mary’s Son he came to reign

’Mid mortal men, his earthly kin,

To save them from the woes of sin.

I believe in Christ, who marked the path,

Who did gain all his Father hath,

Who said to men: “Come, follow me,

That ye, my friends, with God may be.”

3. I believe in Christ—my Lord, my God!

My feet he plants on gospel sod.

I’ll worship him with all my might;

He is the source of truth and light.

I believe in Christ; he ransoms me.

From Satan’s grasp he sets me free,

And I shall live with joy and love

In his eternal courts above.

4. I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!

From him I’ll gain my fondest dream;

And while I strive through grief and pain,

His voice is heard: “Ye shall obtain.”

I believe in Christ; so come what may,

With him I’ll stand in that great day

When on this earth he comes again

To rule among the sons of men.

My words and actions may never be able to express the praise and thanksgiving I have in my heart for my Savior and King. I know that he lives, I know that he watches out for me day by day and hour by hour. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
