  • [Verse:]
    Brothers
    And sisters
    Listen
    You non-believers, listen
    You better start to believe
    All you doubters
    Be "hallelujah shouters"
    Or else you're going to grieve
    There's no time to wait
    You may be too late
    So, listen
    You don't know what you're missin'
    Until you start to believe

    [Refrain:]
    If you believe that there's a heaven
    You'll get to heaven
    If you believe

    If you believe that there are angels
    You'll see the angels
    If you believe

    I'm not making promises
    To the doubting Thomases

    But if you believe the Lord can help you
    The Lord will help you
    If you believe

    [Patter:]
    -We do, we do, we do
    Do you believe?
    -We do, we do, we do
    Do you believe?
    -We do, we do, we do
    Well, Jonah went out one night in a gale
    Do you believe that?
    -We do, we do, we do
    Soon, he was swallowed up by a whale
    Do you believe that?
    -We do, we do, we do
    Daniel lay down with lions that roared
    Noah was on his ark when it poured
    Moses looked up and he spoke to the Lord
    Do you believe that?
    Do you believe that? We do
    -We do, we do Writer/s: IRVING BERLIN
