Lyrics
Listen, you non-believers
Listen, you better start to believe
Doubters, be Hallelujah shouters
Or else you’re going to grieve
There’s no time to wait
You may be too late
Listen, you don’t know what you’re missin’
Until you start to believe
Refrain
If you believe that there’s a heaven
You’ll get to heaven if you believe
If you believe that there are angels
You’ll see the angels if you believe
I’m not making promises
To the doubting Thomases
But if you believe the Lord can help you
The Lord will help you if you believe
Patter
Jonah went out one night in a gale
Do you believe that? We do
Soon, he was swallowed up by a whale
Do you believe that? We do
Daniel laid down with the lions that roared
Noah was on his ark when it poured
Moses looked up and he spoke to the Lord
Do you believe that? We do
