I'm gonna lEive like a Bbeliever
Turn my Eback on the decBeiver

EI have decBided
Being gEood is just a faBble
I just Ecan't 'cause I'm not aBble
I'm gonna lF#7eave it to the LBord
BThere's a wealth of things that I F#profess
I Esaid that I Bbelieved
But Edeep inside I Bnever changed
I F#7guess I'd been deceived
'Cause a Bvoice inside kept F#telling me

And when the Bworld begins to see F#you change
Don't eExpect them to applBaud
Just keep your Eeyes on him and Btell yourself
I've becF#ome the work of God
I have dBecided
I'm gonna lEive like a Bbeliever
Turn my Eback on the deBceiver
I'm gonna F#live what I believe

Being goEod is just a faBble
I just Ecan't 'cause I'm not Bable
I'm gonna lEeave it to the LBord
