I'm Believing In Elohim (Version 2)



I'm Believing In Elohim (Version 2)
Author: Mark V. Markov

I sit and wait
There is a living God
Who contemplates all fate
And God does know
The places where people go
As they fade and get old

Cause I've been told
That salvation
Through Jesus Christ
Let's faith, hope, and love unfold
And as I am laying on my bed
Thoughts running through my head
If it feels like love is dead
With all my heart
I'm believing in Elohim,
I'm believing in Elohim instead.

And through it all
God offers me protection
A lot of love and direction
I try to live life right
And not to do wrong

And down the waterfall
Where ever it will take me
I know that life won't brake me
When times comes to call
He won't forsake me
With all my heart
I'm believing in Elohim,
I'm believing in Elohim instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my loneliness walks down
A one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
It brings breath to my skin and bones

When it feels like all love is dead
With all my heart
I'm believing in Elohim,
I'm believing Elohim instead.
And through it all God offers me protection
A lot of love and direction

I try to live life right
Not to do wrong
And down the waterfall
Where ever it will take me
I know that life won't brake me
When times comes to call
God won't forsake me
With all my heart
I'm believing in Elohim,
I'm believing in Elohim instead

And through it all
God offers me protection
A lot of love and direction
I try to live life right
And not to do wrong
And down the waterfall
Where ever it will take me
I know that life won't brake me

When times comes to call
God won't forsake me
With all my heart
I'm believing in Elohim,
I'm believing in Elohim instead…


1 John 4:8 ESV

Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.


1 John 4:7-12 ESV

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
