Lyrics

C.J.
(He still believes)

Verse 1

Many years of miles and memories
Back when his world felt whole and free
Lost his father far too young
Learned real quick how to be strong
Now there’s one more empty chair
Still he whispers heaven’s prayers

Pre-Chorus

Some nights the pain won’t let him rest
Some days the weight is on his chest
But in his weakest moment, I still see

Chorus

He still believes
Still falls on his knees
Still lifts up broken hearts like me
With a back that aches and a soul that bleeds
He still believes
Still prays for peace
Still speaks hope when he can barely breathe
Yeah the world sees pain
But heaven sees faith
And God hears every prayer he speaks
He still believes
He still believes

Verse 2

White room lights and stubborn pain
Steel in his spine, but grace in his veins
Ankles, knees, and the weight he bears
Silent wars that no one shares
Depression knocks at his weary door
But Gods word stays open on the floor

Pre-Chorus 2

Some days the fight is all he’s got
Some days the hope feels almost lost
But You remind him he’s not alone

Chorus 2

He still believes
Still falls on his knees
Still lifts up broken hearts like me
With a back that aches and a soul that bleeds
He still believes
Still prays for peace
Still speaks hope when he can barely breathe
Yeah the world sees pain
But heaven sees faith
And God hears every prayer he speaks
He still believes
He still believes
He still believes

Bridge

There’s an angel in the waiting room
With tired eyes and a faithful view
She holds his hand when the nights run deep
Whispers strength when he’s too weak
When he feels like he can’t go on
Her love says, “Lean a little more on God”
Side by side through the trial and storm
That’s what real forever looks like worn

Final Chorus (Bigger / harmonies)

He still believes
When the road gets steep
Still trusts God with what he can’t defeat
With a heart that’s bruised but a soul set free
He still believes
Through the grief and the years
Through the surgery scars and the silent tears
If you ever doubt what real faith means
Just listen close…
He still believes
He still believes
He still believes
