Analysis of If I Believe
The Christian faith inside of me
Can give me strength each day
To live the way, I need to be
As doubt is pushed away.
It gives me hope when things go wrong
Or when the worst seems near,
Because with God I can be strong
Unless I'm insincere
About what I feel God will do
Or what I can achieve.
Strong faith will always help me through
Bad times if I believe!
