The Prince of Egypt

I love this movie, especially when I'm feeling burdened, lost, confused, and heavy-hearted. Don't worry, you didn't miss its release. It came out in the late 90's. It's the story of Moses, and there are so many pertinent messages about our relationship with God in this movie. As someone who struggles to have faith in what can't be seen or proven, this story touches my heart. I actually like to watch this movie alone with a box of tissues and a hot chocolate.

"When You Believe"--I dare you to watch and not cry. For the children's singing part, this is the translation:
I will sing to the Lord,
for he has triumphed gloriously
I will sing to the Lord,
for he has triumphed gloriously
Who is like You, oh Lord,
among the celestial Who is like You,
majestic in holiness In Your love,
You lead the people You redeemed In Your love,
You lead the people You redeemed
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing




"Through Heaven's Eyes"--Truer words could not be spoken. Here are some of my favorite lyrics:
A single thread in a tapestry
Through its color brightly shine
Can never see its purpose
In the pattern of the grand design

So how can you see what your life is worth
Or where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man
You must look at your life
Look at your life through heaven's eyes

So how do you measure the worth of a man
In wealth or strength or size?
In how much he gained or how much he gave?
The answer will come
The answer will come to him who tries
To look at his life through heaven's eyes
