"When You Believe"

This past few weeks I have been on an "Prince of Egypt" kick. I blame it on some of the people in the Bible study I attend. Once we started talking about Exodus everyone kept referring back to this movie. I have always enjoyed watching it, myself, and when they all started talking about it, it made me want to go pull it out and watch it again. I hadn't been able to watch it until this week-end because of my busy schedule. It's one of the things I put on my "to-do" list and finally got around to doing some of those things. My favorite song in that film has to be "When You Believe" because it is so true. It's amazing the strength a person gets by just believing and having faith that God will find a way to take care of us. I have a feeling I would be ten times more stressed out with my crazy life if I didn't have faith. I put the lyrics below in case someone wanted to read them.....

When You Believe

(Performed by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston)

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

Chorus:
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

Chorus

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small, but still, resilient voice
Says help is very near

Chorus
