The Evidence
4HIM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems the thing to do is to keep second guessing
The One who made the earth and sky
Well I guess it's okay just to wonder why
But I know the truth, and I know I'm certain
It's not a mystery, it's not behind a curtain
The veil was torn many years ago
That the answer is not in the stars way up high
But the answer is found in believing in Christ
So I am walking by faith and not by sight
I am trusting in invisible things
For I have felt in my heart, what I can't see with my eyes
'Cause the proof is living inside of me
I've been set free and this is all the evidence I need
There are pyramids in the land of Egypt
There are those who say, that they contain the secrets
To where we're from and why we're here
But I think God's Word makes it crystal clear
That the ancient tombs in the barren desert
Do not hold the clues, they do not hold the answers
The truth has already been revealed
For it's moving in me and I know that it's real
'Cause it's not in the grave for the skeptics to see
But He lives in the hearts of the ones who believe
So I am walking by faith and not by sight
I am trusting in invisible things
For I have felt in my heart, what I can't see with my eyes
'Cause the proof is living inside of me
I've been set free and this is all the evidence I need
'Cause I know Your love reaches out to me
In my weakest of days
For I've felt Your touch In my heart of hearts
Though I've never even seen Your face
'Cause the proof is living inside of me
I've been set free and this is all the evidence I need
So I am walking by faith and not by sight
I am trusting in invisible things
I have felt in my heart, what I can't see with my eyes
'Cause the proof is living inside of me
I've been set free and this is all the evidence I need
Proof is evidence I need
I've been set free
"The Evidence" is a song that speaks to the notion that faith in the unseen is stronger than what can be observed directly through the senses. The song opens with these lines, "Well, I've seen the news and I've heard the questions / Seems the thing to do is to keep second guessing / The One who made the earth and sky / Well, I guess it's okay just to wonder why." The singer suggests that while it's natural to question things that might be incomprehensible, he believes the truth has already been revealed. He goes on to describe that the answer is found in believing in Christ, and that the proof of this faith is "living inside of me", which is "all the evidence I need."
The singer contrasts the search for answers in the pyramids of Egypt with what he believes can be found in God's Word. He states that the truth has already been revealed and is "moving in me and I know that it's real." In the chorus, he sets out his belief that he is "walking by faith and not by sight" and is "trusting in invisible things". He suggests that the proof of this faith is "living inside of me", which is "all the evidence I need".
Overall, 4HIM's "The Evidence" conveys a message of faith that is deeply personal yet resounding. The song encourages listeners to focus on their faith and trust in God's Word, and to recognize that the proof of their faith resides within them.
