Lyrics

This keeps me going


on those days when I feel like giving up


I believe


the storm will soon be over


I believe


the rain will go away


I believe


that I can make it through it


Ooooh...


I believe


It's already done


I want you to already see yourself out of the storm,


the clouds will move


it's time for you to smile again


I believe


my family will get better


I believe


God will provide


I believe


the promise that He made


Ooooh...


I believe


It's already done


The blessing is yours


God's already pre-approved you for it


I believe


that my God is a healer


Yes He is


and I believe


that I will survive


I believe


that God is able


Ooooh...


I believe, I believe


It's already done


The world tells us that any two of us


shall agree on anything on earth


that God will do it for us in heaven


and I know sometimes life has a way


of knocking you down to the point where


you can't even pray for yourself


but today I want to agree with you


that it's getting ready to get better


and right now we are giving your problems


an expiration date and we're saying it's over


that you've been crying long enough,


that you've been worried long enough,


that you've been struggling long enough


and I believe that God's gonna do it for you


I believe


God's gonna do it


yes he will


do it for you


I believe


it's gonna get better for you


I believe


God's gonna do it


He's gonna do it


I believe


it's got to get better


better for you...


I believe (I believe)


God's gonna fix it (God's gonna fix it)


Yes He will (fix it for you)


I believe (I believe it's gonna get better)


It's gonna get better (better for you)


I believe (if nobody wants to help you)


God's gonna fix it (God's will fix it) fix it for you


Yes He will (if you just believe)


I believe it's going to get better, better for you


I know you've been crying at night


but I came by to let you know that it's gotta get better


For you


To the single parents


Go in the room and grab your children


put your arms around them and let them know it's gonna get better


For you


Oh, if you trust in him hang on in their,


God told me to tell you that it's gonna get better


(God's gonna do it) (for you)


You can't have it, you can't have it.


You gotta give it to Jesus (give it to Jesus)


oh won't he work it out? (yes he will).


If you believe it say...


I believe (I believe)


your money's gonna get better


(I believe)


things are gonna work out for your good


(tell somebody) (for you)


Oh you gotta believe (I believe)


that cancer will bow down


(I believe) your job won't be the same


Tell somebody (for you)-


Yes I do believe (I believe)


Yes I do believe (I believe)


You better call somebody right now and tell them


God's gonna do it (for you)


weeping may endure oh for a night


oh joy (if you don't remember anything else)


I believe (remember this)


your storm is over


I believe


your rain is gone away


(clouds have moved)


I believe


you'll make it through it,


oh I believe


oh it's already done


I'm excited about your future.

Meaning & Inspiration

I Believe is built as an extended declaration of trust during hardship. Storms, rain, illness, financial strain, and family trouble represent pressures that can make hope difficult to sustain. Against each circumstance, the recurring confession insists that God can provide, heal, and bring change. Spoken passages widen the focus from one struggle to a congregation of people carrying different burdens, while the repeated response gives the song the character of communal encouragement.

The lyric cautiously echoes several biblical themes. Its reference to agreement in prayer resembles Matthew 18:19, though the song applies that promise directly to present needs. Its contrast between nighttime weeping and coming joy draws from Psalm 30:5. The song does not dwell on the hardship itself; it continually returns to confidence in divine ability. That persistence is central to its meaning: faith is voiced before circumstances visibly improve, and hope is reinforced through repetition, testimony, and prayerful agreement.
