Verse 1

How could I believe
In a God without a cross
A God immune from grief
Who has never loved and lost

Verse 2

How could I be sure
There'd be mercy from a King
Who's never touched the poor
Or wept with those in need

Chorus

On the cross God most Holy
Proved His love and made Himself lowly
So my soul so undeserving
Could be called worthy and covered in mercy

Refrain

How could I how could I
Not believe
How could I how could I
Not believe

Verse 3

How could I be saved
By a savior dead and gone
A God still in the grave
Locked away behind a stone

Verse 4

But my King was surely raised
Leaving death behind to die
Hallelujah by His grace
Now in Jesus I'm alive

Chorus

On the cross God most Holy
Proved His love and made Himself lowly
So my soul so undeserving
Could be called worthy and covered in mercy

Refrain

How could I how could I
Not believe
How could I how could I
Not believe

Verse 5

How could I be healed
By a healer with no scars
But Jesus held the nails
To mend my broken heart

Bridge 1

How could I how could I
Not believe

Bridge 2

How could I how could I
Not believe
How could I how could I
Not believe

Chorus

On the cross God most Holy
Proved His love and made Himself lowly
So my soul so undeserving
Could be called worthy and covered in mercy

Refrain

I believe I believe
I believe I believe

Refrain

I believe I believe
I believe
