There's only one way souls are able

1.
There’s only one way souls are able
God’s vict’ry and peace to obtain.
There’s no other way that suffices
If you would Christ’s promises gain.
Chorus:
Believing! Believing
In Jesus and what He has said.
Believing! Believing!
The way home to God we will tread.
2.
What lifts up the soul from the mire
And frees from the burden of sin?
’Tis faith in the blood of the Savior.
Then courage and joy enter in.
3.
This world would deceive and ensnare you
And cause you from Jesus to stray.
But faith gives you power to conquer!
By faith you’ll prevail on life’s way.
4.
Do you seek for gifts, as it’s written,
Which we from the Lord can receive?
Then one thing you need to remember:
His signs follow those who believe.
5.
Do you want to follow the Master
In faithfulness all your life through?
By faith you can break down each barrier
As you Jesus’ footsteps pursue.
6.
Remember what Jesus has told us,
And hold fast to what we have heard—
That blessed are those who not seeing
Don’t doubt, but believe in His Word.
