If Only You Believe - the Balassi Style
~If You Only Believe~
(Balassi)
Jesus is the only way
For salvation any day
He can forgive all your sin
If only you believe
Salvation you'll receive
A new life you can begin
Jesus can make you brand-new
You can give Satan his due
And in Jesus' name you can win.

~Author's Notes:
The Balassi Stanza is a form or style attributed to Bálint Balassi (1554-1594) who is probably Hungary's best known Renaissance poet. His work included poetry about his battles with the Turks and his love poems to a woman he called Julia. His poetry was known for the richness of its forms and was a blend of Turkish, Polish and Hungarian folk poetry.
This form or style may be presented as a three-line stanza too.
