Lord, now I see

1
Lord, now I see,
You only want me to believe;
Not to dwell
In all my failures and defeats;
To believe what You have done,
And not in what I see.
2
Lord I believe,
When all around me is defeat
And it seems that nothing’s changing outwardly.
No! I’m not discouraged,
I’m believing You.
3
Yes, I believe,
And there is no demand on me.
Simple faith, yes, that is all You want from me.
Freed from anxious doubting—
I’m free to just believe!
4
Believing You,
Because, Lord, You are my success!
When I fail, all I must do is just confess,
And go on enjoying You—
I love believing You!

The following verses in Galatians reminded me of this wonderful song:

Ga 2:16 And knowing that a man is not justified out of works of law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we also have believed into Christ Jesus that we might be justified out of faith in Christ and not out of the works of law, because out of the works of law no flesh will be justified.

Ga 2:17 But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also have been found sinners, is then Christ a minister of sin? Absolutely not!

Ga 2:18 For if I build again the things which I have destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor.

Ga 2:19 For I through law have died to law that I might live to God.

Ga 2:20 I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Ga 2:21 I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness is through law, then Christ has died for nothing.

Lord, now I see, You only want me to believe. Simple faith, yes, that is all You want from me.

Lord, You are so faithful to speak faith into us.

John14:10-11. Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself…

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me.

Lord, now I see,

You only want me to believe;

Not to dwell

In all my failures and defeats;

To believe what You have done,

And not in what I see.

When we believe, Satan will present a mountain of evidence contrary to God’s word, but as we persevere in faith, the mountain begins to erode, until our experience lines up with the word of God. This quote is from Watchman Nees Overcoming Life. So we don’t have to be discouraged just go on believing God. Who are you going to believe, your situation or God’s word? Hallelujah for simple faith.

While the lyrics say “There is no demand on me, only simple faith” it is not theologically accurate. The faith given to us leads to loving obedience it still makes demands on us that unbelievers misconstrue as a burden. Jesus said “Take up my cross and follow me”.

Yes, I believe,

And there is no demand on me.

Simple faith, yes, that is all You want from me.

Freed from anxious doubting—

I’m free to just believe!

These principles is so key to peace. We fail so much and are witness to so much defeat. But we can go on because the Lord gave all for us.
