Whosoever Believes

[Verse 1]
Dust on my Bible
Coffee ring on the page
Same old words
I’ve known since I was eight
Mama’s voice
Reading slow by the kitchen light
I can hear her now
Clear as tonight

[Chorus]
“For God so loved the world”
She’d say my name on that word
Like heaven wrote it just for me
“Gave His only Son”
So I don’t have to run
From every wrong thing I’ve done
I’m free
Whosoever believes
That’s you
That’s me

[Verse 2]
Years ran by
Like fence posts on a two-lane road
Good intentions
And a heart that still felt cold
Pulled that truck
On the shoulder
Just cried out
Those red letters
Finally got loud

[Chorus]
“For God so loved the world”
I heard Him speak through those words
Like He’d been waiting there patiently
“Gave His only Son”
So I don’t have to run
From every wrong thing I’ve done
I’m free
Whosoever believes
That’s you
That’s me

[Bridge]
It ain’t just a verse
On a cardboard sign
It’s a rugged old cross
And a love that’s kind
If you think you’re too far gone
Too broke
Too lost to see
That promise still stands
For the least
For the last
For the you
For the me (oh yeah)

[Chorus]
“For God so loved the world”
Every boy
Every girl
Every drifter on an empty street
“Gave His only Son”
So we don’t have to run
From every wrong thing we’ve done
We’re free
Whosoever believes
Whosoever believes
That’s you
That’s me
