I believe what I believe

I believe what I believe
That when in life I do achieve
And rise in state and sight of men
The truth I mask and myself deceive.

I believe what I believe
Knowing deep wherein thoughts conceive
That if a thousand falls I make
Even then would pardon relieve.

I believe what I believe
That if your grace should come and leave
I would not halt in faith and hope
For unto you I hold and cleave.

I believe what I believe
For I believe in You.
