He can fully intervene in circumstances in our world and our lives to turn things around and bring change. He can revive us spiritually when we’re dull and complacent. He can heal physical, mental, relational, and emotional wounds. He can bring peace to chaos. This is the hope you’ll hear in “I Still Believe.” We hope for the return of Jesus, who will come back to right every wrong and fill the world with His peace and righteousness.
I’m praying here and want to invite you to do the same. Especially if you’re feeling discouraged, ask God to help you do what Romans 12:12 says: “Rejoice in our confident hope, be patient in trouble, and keep praying.” So, continue to hold onto hope for what God can accomplish in this life. While doing so, keep your hope anchored in the perfect restoration that Jesus will bring to the entire world upon His return.
Romans 12:12 (NLT): Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
Revelation 21:3-4 (NLT): I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”
Lyrics
In the hearts of the lonely, spread around the world
There’s a little bit of hope, that this will turn around
And we’ll all see that Heaven is here and now
Whoa-oh, and I still believe You are the One who wears the crown
Walls are burning down ’cause Your love is a fire, fire
The time’s different, the vibe’s shifted, our minds sickened
I keep trying to keep hope alive, ’cause time’s ticking
We’re fine dying with fine dining and fine linens
We die empty ’cause most of us never tried living
Cage full of the broken lives, stayed while they slowly died
Crazed, I went out my mind, prayed when I saw the signs
Hypnotized, victimized, empty lies
Emphasized, kicked aside, end of times, still we rise
Rose out the grave like a day shift
Died for the nameless who laid on the pavement (pavement)
Drained from the pain, but I’m patient
‘Cause victory is coming, I can taste it
In the hearts of the lonely, spread around the world
There’s a little bit of hope, that this will turn around
And we’ll all see that Heaven is here and now
Whoa-oh, and I still believe You are the One who wears the crown
Walls are burning down ’cause Your love is a fire, fire
Uh, point us to the Light, twenty-five, but I’m facing twenty-five to life
Uh, I been up for like twenty-five nights
Praying that the Lord can turn my wrongs into rights
Risk it all just to live, I been runnin’ for years
Had some problems at home (home), guess they followed me here
Yeah, they can hate me now (now), still never break me down
I got the faith of a titan. God’s gonna bring me out
Lost some battles, but we win the war. Read the headlines
I’ma fight till I’m finished or see the deadline
Never give up the fight, never give up on life
Keep on running through the darkness until you see the Light
And I still believe You are the one who wears the crown
Walls are burning down ’cause Your love is a fire, fire
Oh, I still believe that You are breaking through the clouds
Lighting up this town, and Your love is a fire, fire
