Katherine Jenkins - I Believe Lyrics
Lyrics
One day I'll hear
The laugh of children
In a world where war has been banned.
One day I'll see
Men of all colours
Sharing words of love and devotion.
Stand up and feel
The Holy Spirit
Find the power of your faith.
Open your heart
To those who need you
In the name of love and devotion.
Yes, I believe.
I believe in the people
Of all nations
To join and to care
For love.
I believe in a world
Where light will guide us
And giving our love
We'll make heaven on earth.
I believe in the people
Of all nations
To join and to care
For love.
I believe in a world
Where light will guide us
And giving our love
We'll make heaven on earth.
Yes, I believe.
I believe in the people
Of all nations
To join and to care
For love.
I believe in a world
And giving our love
We'll make heaven on earth.
We'll make heaven on earth.
I believe.

Andrea Bocelli, Katherine Jenkins - I Believe
Meaning & Inspiration
Katherine Jenkins’ rendition of “I Believe,” featured on her 2009 compilation, *The Essential Collection*, stands as a profound testament to enduring faith, a melody that resonates with the steadfast hope found in God’s promises. While the song itself is a contemporary piece, its core message draws deeply from wellsprings of spiritual truth that have nourished believers for millennia. The essence of "I Believe" isn't just an affirmation of personal conviction; it is a declaration of trust in a divine plan, a recognition that even in the face of unseen challenges, there is an unshakeable foundation upon which our hope is built. This echoes the sentiment of Hebrews 11:1, which defines faith as “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” The song speaks to this unwavering confidence, the deep-seated knowledge that God’s goodness and provision are real, even when they are not immediately apparent to our physical senses.
The powerful assertion of belief presented in the song finds a powerful parallel in the Psalms, where David repeatedly expresses his unyielding trust in the Lord amidst adversity. Consider Psalm 27:13, where he declares, “I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!” This is not a passive wish, but an active, anticipatory faith, much like the spirit of “I Believe.” The song invites listeners to anchor their souls not in fleeting circumstances, but in the eternal character of God. It speaks to a profound understanding that true strength and guidance come from above, as King Solomon wisely noted in Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Jenkins’ interpretation imbues these timeless truths with an accessible, moving vocal performance, making the profound concept of steadfast faith resonate with a modern audience, encouraging them to embrace a similar conviction in their own lives.
