Analysis of It's True, If You Believe



If you can see it, then it's not
The faith God talked about
In scripture from the Lord we got
To help those still in doubt.

If you believe when you can' touch
The things like love and peace,
Then you rely on you too much
And pride you should release.

God does not give us evidence
To prove His word is true.
So, we must show some Bible sense
And praise what God will do!
