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)

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

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?

Will you 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 it’s true
I have never I never will abandon you
And the God that I have always been
I will forever be
So believe me now

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

So 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 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
Believe me now
Believe me now

Behind the Song:
'“Believe Me Now” is one I felt so strong to be part of this record. God has been so faithful to give me this song that I can really hold out for hope to people that are going through a difficult season or a time when they are just holding on to a thread, to believe God is with them. Through each album, I have had a song that I have been able to offer as an encouragement. The reality of life is that it can be hard and difficult, and sometimes, we need to be reminded the God that parted the Red Sea is still the same God I talk to every day, that I believe is walking with me every day.' - Steven Curtis Chapman
