We Believe
About the song:
"We Believe" is a song that I wrote to go with the 2011 Mutual Theme. It's based on the 13th article of faith. Our young women's president told me that she wanted something about being anxiously engaged in a good cause. As I was working on this song, the words, "May my life reflect my mission" come to me. It is how I want to live my life. I hope that everything I do will reflect what I believe and what I feel I'm supposed to do. The sheet music, accompaniment track, and demo as well as a .pdf for vocal parts-only, are available to download for free through the "Download Links" on the sidebar. There are also 2 MP3's available through itunes (.99) in the event that you can help me to support the site. Both are available for your convenience, and so that you can perform this song with your young women. Since I have not yet had an opportunity to hear this song performed by a young women's choir, please do share your experiences. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
So many question in their minds
the grand design
of who they are and where they're going
but through our faith it's been made clear
and there's no fear
when you have the joy of knowing
Instead of fearing what the future brings
We put our faith upon our father's wings
(Chorus)
and we believe!
And you can see it in our smile.
We believe!
It's in our actions, it's our style.
More than what we know is true,
it's at the heart of everything we do
and by doing it you see that we believe!
There's still so much we have to learn
at every turn
Satan waits with opposition
but Heavenly Father helps us choose
and win or lose
it will be through our decisions.
Someday we hope to gain eternal life
and this we hope because we follow Christ!
(Chorus)
Up ahead we never know what trials are coming
but it goes unsaid it's in our Father we'll be trusting
we'll seek after Him with faith,
Hope in all that we've received.
May our lives reflect the truth that we believe!
(Chorus)
We Believe!
We Believe!
We Believe!
We Believe!
So many question in their minds
the grand design
of who they are and where they're going
but through our faith it's been made clear
and there's no fear
when you have the joy of knowing
Instead of fearing what the future brings
We put our faith upon our father's wings
(Chorus)
and we believe!
And you can see it in our smile.
We believe!
It's in our actions, it's our style.
More than what we know is true,
it's at the heart of everything we do
and by doing it you see that we believe!
There's still so much we have to learn
at every turn
Satan waits with opposition
but Heavenly Father helps us choose
and win or lose
it will be through our decisions.
Someday we hope to gain eternal life
and this we hope because we follow Christ!
(Chorus)
Up ahead we never know what trials are coming
but it goes unsaid it's in our Father we'll be trusting
we'll seek after Him with faith,
Hope in all that we've received.
May our lives reflect the truth that we believe!
(Chorus)
We Believe!
We Believe!
We Believe!
We Believe!

I would prefer for now, that you just send them to download the music at the following link: http://www.kerbymusic.org/MP3/we_believe.mp3 . I have been thinking about trying to upload it to itunes, and then they could also get it from there.
music, but the first piano solos you did, were the best. I wish you
did more of them. I also love to hear you sing your songs. You have
a lovely voice. The songs that you have just the accompiament to, I
wish they were also piano solos, because they are so pretty. Keep
up the good work! Sincerely, Carol
accompaniment. We were hoping to put it on a CD and practice it at
church with our girls in preparation for New Beginnings in
February. Just wanted them to hear it and sing along with it a few
times before practicing with the piano. One of us could get both
the vocal and piano downloaded onto the computer but not
transferred to CD. I was able to get the mp3 vocal (but not the
accompaniment) to the computer and a CD. Any suggestions??
play this for the YW before we pactice the song for our New
Beginnings in March. Thank you.
I love this song!!! Thank you for sharing it with us. I work with the YW in Mexico, and for our New Beginnings Program we want to sing "We Believe" in Spanish. I translated the lyrics so we could sing it. Is this okay with you? I would like your permission because I think this song is so inspiring, and I want them to understand it in our language.
If you would send me a copy of the lyrics I would be willing to make a Spanish version so others can download as well.
Anyway, I am so excited - we are going to teach this song to the girls at camp this year. I love the message. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Alternatively, you can purchase the MP3 from iTunes for just .99!
youth camp which is scheduled on the 19th to 21st this May. Thanks for being
