    Story Behind the Song
    I am sure that you will recognize the Columbine incident as the inspiration for this song. I was in the car with my kids, listening to the radio, when I heard that Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, would be doing a speaking engagement at a local church. Knowing what this man had lost, perhaps as a direct result of raising his daughter to be a bold believer, and seeing my own kids in the backseat, was all it took to spark this song. I think I finished it that night.

    While I was writing this song,
    the truth of the story that
    inspired it was called into
    question. While I am not
    convinced by the doubters--and
    suppose the whole truth may
    never be known in this life--
    please remember that people less
    newsworthy than American high
    school students are being
    persecuted, and dying, for their
    faith in Christ all around the
    world even now.

    Lyrics
    "Do you believe in God?" were the last words she ever heard
    I wonder if she knew the answer would be heard around the world
    A soul that seemed too young to face the horrors that she saw
    When death is looking down at you, how do you find the strength to serve the
    highest call

    CHORUS
    She said "Yes", she said "yes", and I pray my kids could do the same, yet
    sometimes I fear they would
    She said "Yes", she said "yes", and the question still is haunting mecould I say
    "Yes"


    "Do you believe in God?", and then he asked her "Why?"
    He pulled the trigger then, was he afraid of her reply?
    But in that single moment the truth had won the day
    One word means nothing, one word means everything

    CHORUS

    Yes to forgiveness, yes to life anew, yes to the peace you bring when we call on you
    Yes to life eternal, yes to boundless grace, yes to the joy we'll find when at last we
    see your face


    But must we face the struggle, must we endure the pain that comes when we follow
    him, when we take on his name?

    CHORUS
