Petra - Believer in Deed lyrics

Words and music by Bob Hartman

Based on 1 John 3:18

On his journey we begin at birth

This fleeting moment that we spend on earth

No second chance to live it all again

It must be now or never

To cherish each endeavor

What will they say that I have left behind

A faithful heritage for all to find

What will the see?

I want my legacy to be

(Chorus)

He was a believer in deed

He had a heart of a different breed

He made his mark and he lived by his creed

A true believer

A believer in deed

Am I living everything I say?

Am I pointing others to the way?

Will I leave this world a better place?

Will Jesus say he knew me

Is Jesus living through me?

Did I maintain my authenticity?

A man of honor and integrity?

Remembering me

I hope that they will truly see

At the end of my days I know I'm gonna say

I wouldn't live my life any other way

I'll look to my posterity to carry on for me

And pray that they will see
