Would You Believe?

If you could see Christ stand­ing here to­night

His thorn-crowned head

And pierc­èd hands could view

Could see those eyes that beam

With Heav’n’s own light

And hear Him say—Be­lov­èd

’twas for you.

Would you be­lieve

and Je­sus re­ceive

If He were stand­ing here?

Would you be­lieve

and Je­sus re­ceive

If He were stand­ing here?

If you could see that face

so calm and sweet

Those lips that spoke words on­ly pure and true

Could see the nail prints in His ten­der feet

And hear Him say—Be­lov­èd

’twas for you.

He whis­pers to your heart

turn not away

For He’s be­side you in your nar­row pew;

If you will list­en

you will hear Him say

In lov­ing tones—Be­lov­èd

’twas for you.

Will you be­lieve

and Je­sus re­ceive?

For He is stand­ing here;

Will you be­lieve

and Je­sus re­ceive?

For He is stand­ing here.
