Newsboys - We Believe Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
In this time of desperation
When all we know is doubt and fear
There is only one foundation:
We believe, we believe.
Pre-Chorus 1
In this broken generation
When all is dark, You help us see.
There is only one salvation
We believe, we believe!
Chorus 1
We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life!
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He's coming back again, we believe
Verse 2
So, let our faith be more than anthems.
Greater than the songs we sing.
And in our weakness and temptations;
We believe, we believe!
Repeat Chorus 1
Bridge
Let the lost be found and the dead be raised!
In the here and now, let love invade!
Let the church live love, our God will say:
We believe, we believe!
And the gates of Hell will not prevail
For the power of God, has torn the veil!
Now we know Your love will never fail.
We believe, We believe!
Chorus 2
We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life!
We believe in the crucifixion!
We believe that He conquered death!
We believe in the resurrection!
And He's coming back
He's coming back again!
He's coming back again!
We believe!
We believe

Meaning & Inspiration
"We Believe," released by Newsboys in 2014, stands as a powerful anthem of faith, meticulously crafted to articulate core Christian tenets with accessible language. The song delves into the fundamental beliefs that form the bedrock of Christian identity, painting a vivid picture of who God is and what He has accomplished through Jesus Christ. Its strength lies not just in its memorable delivery but in its profound theological grounding, offering a concise yet comprehensive declaration of the Gospel. The narrative thread of "We Believe" traces the unfolding of God's redemptive plan, beginning with His role as Creator, acknowledging the brokenness of humanity and the subsequent need for a Savior. Central to this message is the belief in Jesus Christ, not merely as a historical figure, but as the Son of God, whose life, death, and resurrection are the foundation of our hope and salvation. This resonates deeply with passages like John 3:16, which declares God's profound love in sending His Son, and 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, detailing the atoning death and resurrection of Christ, the very essence of the Christian message. The song's conviction echoes the Apostle's Creed, a historic summary of Christian belief, and more broadly, the entirety of Scripture which consistently points to Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). "We Believe" serves as a potent reminder that our faith is rooted in objective truth and divine action, not mere human aspiration. It encourages a steadfast commitment to these foundational truths, fostering a community of believers united by a shared understanding of God's transformative work in the world. The song's accessible yet theologically rich approach makes it an encouraging and affirming declaration for anyone seeking to understand or reaffirm the core of Christian belief.
