    Written in a hymn-like, chorus style, I Believe can be used as an anthem or as a congregational song. The sentiment of the text, "I believe in the sun, even when it's not shining" is one that is applicable in our times in any worship setting. This anthem represents the best of Mark Miller's writing and will be sung by generations to come.
    Voicing: SATB with piano
    Composer: Mark A. Miller
    Text: Traditional Jewish Poem
    Season: General

    Praise the Lord. Beautiful. I am GLAD that there are so many talents dedicated to GOD. I found this song while looking for music for the choir. As I listened the first part and noticed that there was nothing about God In it I discarded it. Then something kept telling me to listen all the way to the end, and WOW, the message, just a small and yet so profound.
    "I BELIEVE IN GOD, EVEN WHEN GOD IS SILENT."

    The story behind the lyrics is actually quite sad and slightly confusing. These words were either written on a wall by a Jewish prisoner in a WWII German concentration camp, or by a Jew hiding in a German cellar to escape Nazi persecution, depending on what source you read from.

    I've sung this so many times! Mostly in my church choir, everyone loves this song and hearing everyone singing it together. It's so beautiful! I also sung this for my junior year of high school but nothing will ever compete with my church choir. This is my chior directors last year, she will be retiring at the end of December and we're playing all of the songs that we all enjoyed. This was a big hit song, and I manage to get the soprano descant! Singing it with one other person, as we both sound amazing together. If it wasn't for this song, I would've never knew how high my voice can really hit. Sorry for the long response, but this song will always be my favorite!

    This song’s wintery-windy-snowy theme reminds us all that the Holocaust is no joke when you add the lyrics. I recently sang this as a Bass at a choir recital over the weekend and will do that again one more time this coming weekend. I’m honored to be one of the ones delivering this songs message.
