Read these lyrics.... more discussion after the lyrics.
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
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 prayers so often prove(s) in vain
Hope seems 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
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
They don't (always happen) when you ask (Oh)
And it's easy to give in to your fears (Oh...Ohhhh)
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way straight through the rain
(A small but) still resilient voice
Says (hope is very near) (Ohhh)
There can be miracles
(Miracles)
When you believe
(Lord, when you believe)
Though hope is frail
(Though hope is frail)
It's hard to kill
(Hard to kill, Ohhh)
Who knows what miracles, you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will (somehow, somehow, somehow)
somehow you will
You will when you believe
You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe...in your heart
Just believe
You will when you believeeeeeeeeeee
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
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 prayers so often prove(s) in vain
Hope seems 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
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
They don't (always happen) when you ask (Oh)
And it's easy to give in to your fears (Oh...Ohhhh)
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way straight through the rain
(A small but) still resilient voice
Says (hope is very near) (Ohhh)
There can be miracles
(Miracles)
When you believe
(Lord, when you believe)
Though hope is frail
(Though hope is frail)
It's hard to kill
(Hard to kill, Ohhh)
Who knows what miracles, you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will (somehow, somehow, somehow)
somehow you will
You will when you believe
You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe...in your heart
Just believe
You will when you believeeeeeeeeeee

It is my hope that I am able to express how important those words are to me and how they helped me in my time of need.
I first heard this song as I watched "Prince of Egypt" in 1998 and it became my strength song to help me go forward for the next three years. Times were emotionally hard for me those years and it became a time where I pulled from my depths of my soul to move forward. All that I believed in my whole life was crumbling and my little house of dreams shattering. When it got tough I would put that song in the CD player and play loud and cry. The words in this song are extremely comforting and strong words to me. What also helped was the visualization of the Hebrews and the trials that they suffered but still had the strength to go forth and believe.
Now last week I heard the song again and found myself with tears in my eyes but a different feeling. A feeling of "I believed".
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 straight through the rain
A small but still resilient voice
Says (hope is very near)
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way straight through the rain
A small but still resilient voice
Says (hope is very near)
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
The above phrases were uplifting to hear and I reminisced about where I was back in those days of pain and sorrow but more importantly to where I have emerged and where I have directed my life because I know that miracles can be achieved when you believe and it might not be when I wanted but there is hope very near. So, when you believe there can be miracles achieved.
Those years made me stronger and I am grateful for them and wouldn't take it back because I wouldn't be the person that I am today.
