To Believe
© June, 2024 – Raji Abuzalaf

I watched my little boy just the other day
He got down on his knees and began to pray
He said, “O God, why don’t You help us out?”
But there was no reply, so he began to doubt

And he wept, and he wept, and he wept, and he wept

“Don’t you hear the children crying?”
“Can’t you see there’s good men dying?”
“Don’t you know there’s bad men lying?”
“Can’t you tell that I’m still trying?”

“To believe, to believe, to believe, to believe…in You”

I watched my little girl just the other night
She knelt down and prayed feeling so contrite
She said, “O God, won’t You end man’s oppression?”
But there was no response, so she began to question

And she cried, and she cried, and she cried, and she cried

“Don’t you hear our cries, it’s chilling?”
“Can’t you see good men’s blood spilling?”
“Don’t you know there’s bad men killing?”
“Can’t you tell that I’m still willing?”

“To believe, to believe, to believe, to believe…in You”

And so I bowed down wondering if He even sees us
I raised my hands and prayed in the name of Jesus
I said, “O God, are You there? Can’t you hear?”
This time I heard an answer, a soft voice in my ear

And I prayed, and I waited, and I listened, I heard Him say,

“I made the Earth a blessed venue”
“And placed free will to choose within you”
“Let My Spirit take control, I’ll defend you”
“Show a little faith and then continue…”

“To believe, to believe, to believe, to believe…in Me”

To Believe

This creative team met back in high school in Houston, Texas in 1969. They became friends quickly and discovered a unique synergy early on – songwriting. Keith manifested his expressions mostly in the area of lyrics, while Raji fashioned his creativity through melodies and arrangements.

The number of songs that they generated as young teens in a short period of time was incredible. What was even more astonishing was that neither of them could read a musical note, and yet they were able to compose lyrics, tunes, chords, beats, and develop sophisticated arrangements.

School, work, marriage, children, and associations with other bands threw them onto separate life paths. Raji continued composing with other bands and on his own, while Keith officially took a long hiatus.

The team temporarily regrouped in the early 1980’s for a few profound Christian musical offerings. Eventually, Raji found the time and energy to record many of their earlier songs and publish them – both in several of his novels and on soundcloud.com. Then in late 2021 they regrouped once more to continue their creative journey together.
