“Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.”
— Isaiah 43:1–2
“FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:7
“NOW FAITH IS THE ASSURANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE CONVICTION OF THINGS NOT SEEN.”
— Hebrews 11:1
The central theme of this song is very precise: the faithful heart—a heart stabilized by the unchanging promises of God in the midst of changing circumstances.
These lyrics bring together several great strands of biblical revelation:
A faithful heart is not a heart that never feels pressure or fear. It is a heart that answers fear with God’s Word, anxiety with trust, and uncertainty with confidence in the character of God. The battleground is the heart; the weapon is the Word; the attitude is faith.
Let us look at what the Word of God says.

### Isaiah 43:1–2: “You Are Mine”
Isaiah ministered to Judah in a time of great spiritual compromise and looming judgment. The people were facing or anticipating exile, displacement, and the apparent collapse of their national identity. Into that scene of instability God speaks:
> “But now thus says the Lord,
> he who created you, O Jacob,
> he who formed you, O Israel:
> ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
> I have called you by name, you are mine.
> When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
> and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
> when you walk
