Context

\"We Believe\" is mainly based on both the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed translating the historic confession of the church's faith into a communal affirmation and helps the Christian church to contextualize its confession of faith in the Triune God (the Christian doctrine of the Trinity): The song asserts a Christian's fundamental beliefs saying \"let our faith be more than anthems, greater than the songs we sing\". The refrain emphasizes faith and \"belief in God the Father, in Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, the crucifixion, that Jesus conquered death with His Resurrection, and that Jesus is coming back again\".\n

The songwriter Travis Ryan describes the song as \"just foundationally what we believe as a church\". Regarding the Newsboys having commercial success with it, Travis Ryan commented: \"God took that song on a journey, and He has used Newsboys to carry that song around the world.\"\n
