I Still Believe – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

My name is Jeremy Camp.

Years ago, I met a girl named Melissa.

She told me that if just one person's life was changed by her story,

then it would have all been worth it.

This one's for her.

Scattered words and empty for thoughts

Seem to pour from my heart

I've never felt so torn before

Seems I don't know where to start

But it's now

that I feel

Your grace fall like rain

From every fingertip

washing away my pain

I still believe

in Your faithfulness

I still believe

in Your truth

I still believe

in Your holy word

Even when I don't see,

I still believe

Can we do something special for the most special person in my life tonight?

Can we pray for her?

Heal her tonight.

Though the questions fog up my mind

With promises I still seem to bear

Even when answers slowly unwind

It's my heart I see You prepare

But its now

that I feel

Your grace fall like rain

From every finger tip,

washing away my pain

I still believe

that You're faithful

I still believe

in Your truth

I still believe

in Your holy word

Even when I don't see,

I still believe

I still believe

I still believe, oh

I still believe

in You

If one person's life is changed

by what I go through

it'll all be worth it.

I still believe

Key Grammar Structures

• My name is Jeremy Camp.

  ➔ Present simple with the linking verb “is”.

  ➔ The verb "is" links the subject "My name" to the complement "Jeremy Camp".

• Years ago, I met a girl named Melissa.

  ➔ Past simple tense; participle phrase “named Melissa” as post‑modifier.

  ➔ The verb "met" shows a completed action in the past, and "named Melissa" describes the girl.

• She told me that if just one person's life was changed by her story, then it would have all been worth it.

  ➔ Second conditional clause with past simple in the if‑clause and conditional perfect in the main clause.

  ➔ The "if" clause uses "was changed" (past simple passive) to imagine a hypothetical situation, while "would have been" shows a result that would occur in the past under that condition.

• Scattered words and empty thoughts seem to pour from my heart.

  ➔ Verb “seem” + infinitive “to pour” expressing a perception.

  ➔ "Seem" is followed by the infinitive "to pour" to show how the scattered words appear to the speaker.

• I've never felt so torn before.

  ➔ Present perfect negative with adverb of frequency “never”.

  ➔ "I've" = "I have" forms the present perfect; "never" tells us the action has not happened at any time up to now.

• Can we do something special for the most special person in my life tonight?

  ➔ Modal verb “can” + bare infinitive forming a polite request/question.

  ➔ "Can" is used to ask for permission or possibility; the main verb “do” follows directly without “to”.

• Even when I don't see, I still believe.

  ➔ Subordinate clause with conjunction “even when” and present simple negative; main clause with adverb “still”.

  ➔ "Even when" introduces a concessive clause, and "don't" is the contracted form of "do not" showing negation.

• If one person's life is changed by what I go through, it'll all be worth it.

  ➔ First conditional: present simple in the if‑clause, future simple in the main clause.

  ➔ "Is changed" is present simple passive in the condition, and "it'll be" (it will be) predicts the result in the future.
