176. Oh, Believe It

1 There’s a story ever new,
It is wonderful and true,
And the best thing you can do,
Is believe it;
It will calm your troubled breast,
And will give you peace and rest,
it’s of all the news the best,
Oh, believe it.

Chorus:
Oh, believe it!
Oh, believe it!
Christ has died upon the tree,
That from sin you might be free;
Oh, believe it!
Oh, believe it!
Jesus died for you and me,
Oh, believe it!

2 I was serving Satan well,
And in sin did far excel,
And would soon have been in hell;
I believe it;
But the Savior, He drew near,
And He stopped my mad career,
And He told me never fear,
Just believe it! [Chorus]

3 Then I listened and He said,
It was just for you I bled,
And with me He sweetly pled,
To believe it;
This is now salvation’s day,
Sin has all been put away,
This is what I heard Him say,
Oh, believe it! [Chorus]

4 I could then withstand no more,
For I saw my sins, He bore,
So I entered by the door,
And believed it;
Now I’m happy all the day,
I can sing as well as pray,
For my sins are washed away,
I believe it! [Chorus]
