Soundtrack… Sunday? :: There Can Be Miracles

Anyone remember the Disney movie, Prince of Egypt?  I think it came out when I was seventeen or so… I have always loved animation, and having been raised in the church, it was nice to see a mainstream animated film cover history and religion.

It helped that the movie had a killer soundtrack.

I was flipping channels this morning (I haven’t been able to sleep in at ALL lately…), and came across this movie.  I figured I’d just let it play in the background while I did some housework.

Then this song came on.  I had forgotten all about this beautiful Mariah/Whitney mash-up until I heard it again…

I lost it.  Dissolved.

I know that this was playing just for me.

I needed this today…

I needed a miracle.

When You Believe :: Mariah Carey & 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

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

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

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 the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says hope is very near

You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe
I believe, I believe
Just believe
You will when you believe
