A Believer



A Believer
Author: Mark V. Markov

In Christ
Something that I could be
To sail free
To be in charge of my sea
To be in charge of my sea

Life breaks you down
Life brings you up
God's love helps
God's love leads
And it always did
Always did
Always did
Overflowing
Never limited
As life opened
Truth rained down
It rained down

Let love reign
In Christ
I am a believer
A believer
Let love reign
In Christ I am
A believer believer

So let love reign
Love reign
May it cover all my pain
All of my shame

Let love reign
You made me a
You made me a
Believer, believer
Let love reign
You made me a
You made me a
Believer, believer

Let love reign
God's forgiveness
Covers all my sin
And all my shame

Received the Holy Spirit
From up above
All the hate
Has turned into a love

In my heart
Let truth fly
Let it always reign

Let love reign
You made me a
You made me a
Believer, believer
Let love reign
You made me a
You made me a
Believer, believer

By the grace of God
There's a future
The Holy Fire in my veins
The Holy Fire in my veins

Life breaks you down
Life brings you up
God's love helps
God's love leads
And it ever did
Ever did
Ever did
Overflowing
Never limited
As life opened
Truth rained down
It rained down

Let love reign
You made me a
You made me a
Believer, believer
Let love reign
You made me a
You made me a
Believer, believer

Let love reign
In Christ
I am a believer
A believer
Let love reign
In Christ I am
A believer believer

So let love reign
Love reign
May it cover all of my pain
All of my shame

Let love reign
You made me a
You made me a
Believer, believer
Let love reign
You made me a
You made me a
Believer, believer

Let love reign
God's forgiveness
Covers all my sin
And all my shame

Oh let truth reign
Let truth reign
In my life, my heart
Let love reign

You made me a
You made me a
Believer, believer
Let love reign
You made me a
You made me a
Believer, believer

Life breaks you down
Life brings you up
God's love helps
God's love leads
And it always did
Always did
Always did
Overflowing
Never limited
As life opened
Truth rained down
It rained down...

    So let us say that a friend comes by and delivers an off colour joke. Could be taken two ways, and could be considered as very insulting. Do you explode and slash away.
    Or is Love still there as the Monarch, still reigning? Answers are found via the indwelling Holy Spirit. That’s the key.
