Believer Lyrics – Rhett Walker

I walk a bit different now Now that my heart’s been found Nothing really feels the same I hold my head a bit higher I lift my voice a bit louder Yeah, something inside has changed I am a mountain mover Water walker More than just an overcomer Cause I've been set free I am a gospel preacher Heart on fire Freedom singing Testifier Cause I’ve been redeemed I am a believer I am a believer I know this is not my home I know I don’t walk alone No matter what comes my way I have peace through the trouble I have joy though the struggle And now my hope’s in a brighter day I am a child of the Father An orphan, no longer No doubt about who I am I’m in the hands of the Healer The arms of the Savior His grace makes me who I am
