Mind Over Matters

Easter 2019

Friends,

Here is something a bit different for this Easter. I guess you could say it’s unapologetically religious because … well it is. I decided to go the route of creating a lyric that resembles some of the old gospel songs – hence the title. The reason – I felt led to write it that way. Now it’s true, for those of you who know me, that usually I’ll bend over backwards to avoid anything that sounds too churchy, lest it be dismissed as being just that. But you know, even some non-believers enjoy Hank Williams “I Saw the Light” so I figured I was on safe ground with this one. Now the music is not written yet but imagine the up beat sound of something like “I’ll Fly Away”. Anyway, hope you like it.

A New “Ole Time” Gospel Song—“I Believe It”

We talk about resurrection

‘Bout comin’ back to life

‘Bout greetin’ a grand and glorious mornin’

After a long and lonely, bitter night

We talk about resurrection

‘Bout a man who was crucified

And how God just raised him up again

Our Savior, Jesus Christ

Chorus

And I believe it, man I believe it

Ask me why, I won’t hesitate

I believe it ‘cause of faith

I believe it, yes I believe it

I’d try and prove if I could

But even then wouldn’t do no good

Unless you truly understood

Some things are too true not to be good news

For those who need it

And we all need it

And I believe it, yes, I believe it

Bridge

I’m the first to say that to some this seems like a fairy tale

An act of wishful thinking, more or less

But I’ve seen God take a life that was dead

And turn that life around

‘Cause resurrection is what He does the best
