Song Meaning

Bethel Music, Jonathan David and Melissa Helser sing “I Believe” as a list of statements of faith. The first verse reads, “I believe in the blood of Jesus that washes white as snow, I believe that the power of the Gospel still makes the broken whole.” It also states that the curse of sin was broken “when they rolled away that stone.”

The chorus changes from belief to expectation: “As I bow before You, Lord, I will rise in confidence, I will see Your goodness, Lord, in the land I'm livin' in.” The second verse is bolder, with “the walls will start falling when we fall down on our knees,” the lame will walk, the blind will see, and “the gates of hell tremble when the church begins to sing.” The bridge sends the song to every age, “sing it to the daughters, sing it to the sons,” and the spontaneous section adds, “I can hear the sound of the promised land.”

The cleansing blood is 1 Peter 1:19, and falling walls recall Joshua 6:20. The gates of hell not prevailing against the church is Matthew 16:18.

VERSE 1

I believe in the blood of Jesus

That washes white as snow

I believe that the power of the Gospel

Still makes the broken whole

I believe that the curse of sin was broken

When they rolled away that stone

I believe, I believe, I believe


CHORUS

As I bow before You Lord

I will rise in confidence

I will see Your goodness, Lord

In the land I’m livin’ in

No matter where I go

And no matter where I've been

I will see your goodness, Lord

In the land I’m livin’ in


VERSE 2

I believe that the walls will start falling

When we fall down on our knees

I believe that the lame will go walking

And the blind are gonna see

I believe that the gates of hell tremble

When the church begins to sing

I believe, I believe, I believe


BRIDGE

Sing it to the daughters

Sing it to the sons

To every generation

Look at what the Lord has done

Sing it to the darkness

That the light has come

Sing it to the nations

Look at what the Lord has done


SPONTANEOUS

I can hear it, I can hear the sound of the promised land

Oh I can hear it, it’s the sound of redemption

I can feel it in my bones again

It’s the sound of the promised land

Can you hear the mothers and fathers

Can you hear the sons and daughters

Shouting the praise of God

From one generation to the next

From one generation to the next

From one generation to the next

Somebody sing it tonight

From one generation to the next

We shout the praise of God

From one generation to the next

Let’s sing it to the daughters

Sing it to the sons

Sing it the nations

Every generation, look what the Lord has done
