Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Believe Me Now" is a heartfelt encouragement to trust God's faithfulness in the midst of fear and overwhelming circumstances. The lyrics picture someone facing a raging sea and a closing enemy, feeling weak and hopeless. Chapman reminds listeners of God's past mighty acts—parting the ocean and raising the dead—and His enduring love that existed before creation. The song urges believers to remember who God is and to believe His promises, assuring them that He never abandons His people and that even their hurts are not wasted. It's a call to stand firm in faith, trusting that the God who has always been faithful will continue to be so.

[Verse 1:]
I watch you looking out
Across the raging water
So sure your only hope
Lies on the other side
You hear the enemy
That's closing in around you
And I know that you don't have the strength to fight
But do you have the faith to stand and...
[Chorus A:]
Believe Me now, believe Me here
Remember all the times I've told you loud and clear
I am with you and I am for you
So believe Me now, believe Me now
[Verse 2:]
I am the One who waved my hand
And split the ocean
I am the One who spoke the words
And raised the dead
And I've loved you long before
I set the world in motion
I know all the fears you're feeling now
But do you remember who I am?
Do you...
[Chorus A]
[Chorus B:]
So believe Me now, Believe it's true
I never have, I never will abandon you
And the God that I have always been
I will forever be
So believe Me now
[Bridge:]
I am the God who never wastes a single hurt that you endure
My words are true and all My promises are sure
So believe Me now
Oh, believe Me now
