Welcome to Music Lifts 🎶 🏋, a column highlighting songs that encourage, inspire, and uplift the spirit; songs exuding fortitude, positivity, and resolve, even in the face of adversity. Featured songs aren’t genre-specific; songs may or may not be faith-based. The goal is for these songs to make you feel better – be LIFTED to new heights! So, for the 27th edition of Music Lifts 🎶 🏋 (2024), we highlight “Believe On Jesus” as performed by CAIN.
“Has the road that you’ve been walking on led you where you wanna go?” Taylor Cain Matz asks in the first verse of “Believe On Jesus”. It is a legitimate reflective question. So many times, we try to do it all ourselves to no avail. Matz of sibling Christian music trio CAIN adds, “Can’t you hear Him knocking? / Won’t you let Him in?” The Him, of course, is Jesus. CAIN encourages believing in Jesus and he will provide what you’ve been missing. “Believe On Jesus” was written by Cain Matz, Logan Cain, Madison Cain Johnson, Jonathan Smith, and Ethan Hulse. It appears as the first track on their expanded album, Jesus Music (Deluxe Edition).
The message of “Believe on Jesus” is simple: accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. CAIN doesn’t overcomplicate it; they keep it simple. Logan sings, “If you confess it with your mouth / And you believe it in your heart / The love that you’ve been looking for will meet you right where you are.” The centerpiece – the section that ‘brings it on home’ – is the chorus:
“Believe on Jesus
Call upon His name
Believe on Jesus
And you will be saved
Open your heart
And let Him live inside
Believe on Jesus
It’ll save your life.”
The plain, direct language makes “Believe On Jesus” powerful. CAIN sings superbly, executing the message like champions. The accompaniment fuels the fire, amplifying this spiritual experience. No extensive analysis is necessary as this song speaks for itself. Thank you Logan, Taylor, and Madison for your powerful music ministry.
