i have to believe...

heard this song today and immediately saw the haitian people in my mind...

I have to believe
He sees my darkness,
I have to believe
He knows my pain,
I have to lift up
my hands to worship,
worship his name...

I have to declare
that He is my refuge,
I have to deny
that I am alone,
I have to lift up
my eyes to the mountains,
that's where my help,
it comes from...

He said that He's forever faithful
He said that He's forever true
He said that He can move mountains
If He can move mountains
He can move my mountain, He can move your mountain, too...

I have to stand tall
when the wind blows me over,
I have to stand strong
when I'm weak and afraid,
I have to grab hold,
a hold of the garments, the garments of praise

He said that He's forever faithful
He said that He's forever true
He said that He can move mountains
If he can move mountains
He can move my mountain, He can move your mountain, too..

I have to sing praise
when the hour is midnight,
He unlocks these chains
that bind up my soul,
my sin and my shame he has forgiven
and made me whole

He said that He's forever faithful
He said that He's forever true
He said that He can move mountains
If he can move mountains
He can move my mountain, He can move your mountain, too..

He's got everything under control
I have to believe...
Lord I believe, help my unbelief
I have to believe in you,
I have to believe...
