I Believe (Lyric Video) - Fred Jerkins feat. Bishop Paul Morton

Meaning & Inspiration

I sat with this song for a while, and it’s strange how something so simple can get under your skin. When Bishop Morton sings about seeing victory heading straight for him, I keep thinking about how we’re told to walk by faith, not by sight. It feels like he’s trying to bridge that gap—taking the promise of God and making it feel real, almost like it’s right there in front of him. It brings to mind how Hebrews talks about faith being the substance of things hoped for. Is that really what it means, though? Sometimes I worry we turn faith into a way to manifest what we want, but then I remember how Jesus kept telling people, "According to your faith, be it done unto you."

There’s this line about giving praise because it’s "already done." That’s heavy. It’s exactly the kind of thing you see in Romans where God calls things that are not as though they were. It’s hard to live like that, though. Most days I’m just trying to keep my head above water, and the idea that I should be acting like the battle is finished—even when the walls are closing in—feels like a massive weight. I guess if the victory is in Christ, then yeah, it’s finished. But is that what the song is pointing to, or is it talking about my personal circumstances changing? I’m still wrestling with that. It’s one thing to believe God has won the ultimate war, but quite another to insist that every outcome in my life is already guaranteed to go the way I want. Maybe that’s the tension I’m feeling. I want it to be true because it would make everything so much easier, but I’m not sure if my desire for victory is the same as His will for my life.
