Intro (Piano only) (Simple gospel progression: C – Am – F – G – C with Soft, reflective chords — a slow sway, like a prayer being whispered into song) Verse 1 (Gentle Conviction) I believe in Christ, He is my King. With all my heart to Him I’ll sing. I’ll raise my voice in praise and joy, In grand amens my soul employ. (Piano rolls, a touch of organ hum joins softly.) I believe in Christ, the Father’s Son; On earth He came — His work was done. He healed the sick, the dead He raised, Good works were His, His name be praised. Verse 2 (Warmer, Flowing Piano) I believe in Christ, oh blessed name! As Mary’s Son, to reign He came. Among all men, His heart was pure, To save us all, His love endures. I believe in Christ who marked the path, Who gained all that His Father hath. He said to us, “Come follow me,” That we with God shall ever be. (Light drum brush rhythm begins here — slow, reverent sway.) Bridge (Reflective and Soulful as Piano takes a pause, voice soft and earnest) He walked the road I could not tread, Bore the thorns, the cross, the dread. Now my heart belongs to Him, Through every storm and wind. (Electric guitar softly echoes the melody — tender and slow.) Verse 3 (Emotional Climb) I believe in Christ, my Lord, my God. My feet He plants on gospel sod. I’ll worship Him with all my might, He is my truth, my guiding light. I believe in Christ, He ransoms me, From Satan’s grasp He sets me free. And I shall live with love and song, In His eternal courts so strong. (The organ swells slightly — warmth builds under her voice.) Verse 4 (Strong Resolve and Hope) I believe in Christ, He stands supreme. From Him I’ll gain my fondest dream. And though I walk through grief and pain, His voice still whispers, “Child, remain.” I believe in Christ — come what may, With Him I’ll stand that final day. When He returns to rule again, Among the hearts and souls of men. Outro – (Gentle Benediction with Piano + Vocal only) (Back to soft C major chords) I believe in Christ… my King. I believe in Christ… my everything. And when I see His face above, I’ll know His grace, His endless love. (Ends on a tender sustained piano chord, quiet breath, then silence.)
