This week’s featured song story comes to us from Sidewalk Prophets. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “I Believe It Now.”
“I keep learning that it’s okay to doubt that God is big enough for all of my doubts. And that even when it feels like things are too overwhelming that I still believe God is in control and He’s going to show up in ways I can’t even imagine.” – Dave Frey (Sidewalk Prophets)

“I Believe It Now” Lyrics
I couldn’t see it then, but I believe it now
Just a searching soul tired of reaching out
Stuck on the tracks, train bearing down
Screaming from my lungs, ” Who will save me now?”
As the reruns of the regrets, they replay inside my head
Got the devil on my shoulder, and he’s leaving me for dead
Whispers and lies have brought me here
Flooding my veins with doubt and fear
Oh, I
I could not see it then
Oh, I
I could not see
Oh, my God
I remember when I cried
Shook my fists up at the sky
I wondered why
You felt so far from me
Oh, God
It was in my deepest pain
That I heard You call my name
I heard You say
That You were right there with me
I couldn’t see it then, but I believe it now
Trying to hold my head up when the ground fell out
I felt all alone even in a crowd
Like a sinking stone dragging my heart down
And the weight of the sorrows I carried on my chest
It kept pulling me under, and I couldn’t catch my breath
Not how I thought my life would go
Didn’t know my heart could sink this low
No, I
I could not see it then
No, I
I could not see it
Oh, my God
I remember when I cried
Shook my fists up at the sky
I wondered why
You felt so far from me
Oh, God
It was in my deepest pain
That I heard You call my name
I heard You say
That You were right there with meLove was standing there
Holding me
But I couldn’t see
That love was always there
He carried me
And now, I believe
Oh, my God
I know You heard me when I cried
‘Cause You were right there by my side
I realized
That You have never left me
Oh, God
It was in my deepest pain
That I heard You call my name
I heard You say
That You were right there with me
I couldn’t see it then (I could not see it)
But now I believe (now I believe)
I couldn’t see it then (I could not see it)
But now I believe (now I believe)
(I could not see, now I believe)
But now I believe
Now I believe
(I could not see, now I believe)
(I could not see, now I believe)
