4. When You Believe Listen online on Mrs. Hamp’s website! (http://www.mercerislandschools.org/Page/6093)

VERSE 1 mf Many nights we prayed with no proof anyone could hear (MIHS solo) In our hearts a hope for a 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 mf 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

VERSE 2 mf In this time of fear when prayer so often proves in vain

Hope seems like the summer bird too swiftly flown away. Yet now I'm standing here my hearts so full, I can't explain, Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say

CHORUS mf

Solo 1: A-shi-ra l'A-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah, Duet: A-shi-ra l'A-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah. Trio: Mi cha-mo-cha ba-e-lim A-do-nai. Quartet: Mi cha-mo-cha ne dar-ba-ko-desh.

All: Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra.

A-shi-ra l'A-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah, A-shi-ra l'A-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah. Mi cha-mo-cha ba-e-lim A-do-nai. Mi cha-mo-cha ne dar-ba-ko-desh.

Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra.

CHORUS f 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, now you will. You will when you believe,

MIHS solo: You will when you believe. All: Ah,___, ah,___ ah___.

TRANSLATION Ashira l'Adonai ki gaoh gaah, I will sing to the Lord for He has triumphed gloriously, Mi chamocha baelim Adonai. Who is like You among the celestial, Lord. Mi chamocha ne darba kodesh. Who is like You, majestic in holiness.

Nachitah v'chas d'cha am zu gaalta In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed Ashira, ashira, ashira. I will sing, I will sing, I will sing.
