Jehovah, You
I trust
In You
Oh Lord
Jehovah, You
I trust
In You
I believe, I believe
You are the God of miracles
You are the God of wonders
You are the God all powerful
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
So long, bye bye
So long, bye bye
Goodbye to my pain

Meaning & Inspiration
Jonathan Nelson’s “I Believe (Island Medley),” released on May 3, 2016, is a powerful testament to unwavering faith, weaving together familiar melodies into a vibrant declaration of hope and trust. This rendition is more than just a musical arrangement; it’s a profound spiritual anchor, a reminder that in the face of life’s storms, our belief in God’s promises remains our steadfast foundation. The song draws its strength from the enduring truth found in Scripture, particularly echoing sentiments like those in Hebrews 11:1, which states, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Nelson masterfully channels this scriptural core, presenting a message that resonates deeply, encouraging listeners to hold onto their conviction even when circumstances are unclear, much like a sailor trusting in the unseen currents to guide their journey. The medley's uplifted tempo and Nelson's passionate delivery invite a personal reflection on our own spiritual journeys, prompting us to consider what it truly means to believe. It’s a musical affirmation that God’s faithfulness is unchanging, a truth declared throughout the Psalms, such as in Psalm 27:13, "I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!" This track serves as a vibrant call to embrace that same tenacious faith, to anchor our souls not in what we can perceive with our natural senses, but in the unshakable character of God. The arrangement itself feels like a journey, building momentum and intensity, mirroring the growth and strengthening of faith that comes from persevering through trials. It’s a beautiful reminder that our belief is not a passive sentiment, but an active, life-affirming force.
