I Believe
Faith Beyond Sight: Discovering the Deeper Meaning in Chris August's 'I Believe'
Lyrics
I don't need a rainbow to know who made the rain
I acknowledge the existence of a creator without needing extraordinary signs like a rainbow.
Don't need the waters parted to know who made the way
I recognize the divine guidance without requiring dramatic events like parting waters.
And I don't need a healing to know who is the cure
I understand the healing power without experiencing it directly, knowing the ultimate source.
Of this I'm sure
I am confident and certain about these beliefs.
I believe that there is something more than I can see
I have faith in the existence of something beyond my immediate perception.
I believe that there is someone holding onto me
I believe there is a higher power providing support and guidance.
Sometimes I won't feel it, but that don't change a thing
Feelings may fluctuate, but my belief remains steadfast, unaffected.
'Cause it's by faith that I believe
My belief is grounded in faith, regardless of the absence of direct sensory experiences.
If you had some heartache that made you cry a thousand tears
Empathy expressed towards those who have endured significant pain and sorrow.
Then let me tell you now I know just how you feel
Asserting understanding of emotional suffering and connecting with others on a deep level.
And that heavy weight of sorrow that you've carried for so long
Acknowledging the prolonged burden of grief that some carry.
Will soon be gone
Expressing optimism that the weight of sorrow will eventually be lifted.
'Cause I believe that there is something more than I can see
Reiteration of faith in the existence of a reality beyond what is visible.
I believe that there is someone holding onto me
Emphasizing the belief in a higher power that provides constant support.
Sometimes I won't feel it, but that don't change a thing
Reaffirming the persistence of belief despite occasional lack of tangible experiences.
'Cause it's by faith that I believe
Highlighting that faith is the foundation of the belief system.
You might see a miracle and give praises to the Lord
Encouraging acknowledgment and praise for miracles while cautioning against dependence solely on such experiences.
Don’t let a touch from heaven be the thing you're waiting for
Warning against waiting for extraordinary events and emphasizing the importance of consistent belief.
Blessed are those who don't see but still believe, do you believe?
Referencing the biblical concept of blessedness for those who believe without seeing.
I believe that there is something more than I can see
Reiteration of the faith in something beyond immediate perception.
I believe that the arms of Jesus are holding onto me
Expressing the belief that the caring arms of Jesus provide comfort and support.
Sometimes I won't feel it, but that don't change a thing
Reaffirming the persistence of belief despite intermittent feelings of doubt.
Cause it's by faith that I believe
Stating that faith is the driving force behind the enduring belief system.
I believe, I believe
A final declaration of belief in the unseen and intangible aspects of existence.
