Lyrics
If you know His peace inside
In your heart His Love abides
Then you′ll know the reason I believe
(Oh oh oh oh)
When you see a moonbeam
And your heart begins to sing
Then you'll know the reason I believe
I believe there is one God
Who created everything
I believe this earth he trod
And He died for you and me
When the book of John you read
From your heart His Love bleeds
Then you′ll know the reason I believe
I believe there is one God
Who created everything
I believe this earth He trod
And He died for you and me
(Oh oh oh oh)
If you can walk without a fear
And you feel that God is near
Then you'll know the reason I believe
Then you'll know the reason I believe

Meaning & Inspiration
The Reason I Believe presents faith as a settled response to the nearness, love, and saving work of God. Its recurring declaration moves from quiet signs of creation to central Christian confession: one God made all things, Christ walked the earth, and Christ died for humanity. Images of peace within, a moonbeam, and freedom from fear give the song a reflective tone, while the repeated title line turns each observation into a reason for trust.
The mention of reading John places the song near the Gospel account of divine love and belief in Christ. John 3:16 closely matches its emphasis on God giving his Son, and Colossians 1:16 supports its confession that all things were created through Christ. The final picture of walking without fear because God is near also recalls Psalm 23:4. Together, these themes frame belief not as an abstract claim but as confidence rooted in creation, the cross, Scripture, and the presence of God.
