I Believe in Jesus - Nelson

This is a short worship song and statement of faith in Jesus Christ. It was written by American worship leader and song-writer Marc Nelson. First published in 1987 by Mercy/Vineyard Publishing, it has been included in a number of worship song compilations - mainly in the UK.

The two different parts of the words an be arranged in various wasy (as rounds, with echos, etc), and also expanded to other parts of speech, eg addressing Jesus directly with "I believe in You Lord"
