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, Some how you will.
You will when you believe.

Easy to despair, When all you hear is fear and lies.
Easy just to run and hide, To frightened to begin.
But if we dare to dare, Don’t wait for answers from the sky.
Each of us can look inside, And hear this song within.

[Chorus]

They don’t always happen when, you ask.
And it’s easy to give in, to your fear.
But when you blinded by your faith, Can’t see your way clear through the rain,
A small but still resilient voice; Says hope is very near.
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, Some how you will. . . You will,
You will when you believe.


As Jesus says in reply to some questions about Faith as recorded by Luke in Chapter 17 verses 5-10 & 20&21

The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.
"Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, 'Come along now and sit down to eat'? Would he not rather say, 'Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink'? Would he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.' "
Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you.
