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.
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.

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.
When all around me is defeat
And it seems that nothing's changing outwardly.
No! I'm not discouraged,
I'm believing You.

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!
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!

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!
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!

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”.

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.

Verse 1 third line originally should be
Not to "dwell"
Why are you changing this hymn?
This changes the meaning adversely
