I Once . . . But Now - Ezra Brainard

I once was called a real believer,
But now I am believing.

I once was called a real believer,
But now I am believing.
I once had known about the asking,
But now about receiving.

I once had known about my Jesus,
But now He knows my name.
I once had heard about the fire,
But now I feel the flame.

I once had heard about the Spirit,
But now He dwells inside.
I once had tried to read the Bible,
But now it is my guide.

I once had tried to sing the songs,
But now the songs just flow.
I once had tried to be a Christian,
But now I’m one I know!
