Whitney Houston - I Believe In You and Me Lyrics
Lyrics
I believe in you and me
I believe that we will be
In love eternally
Well as far as I can see
You will always be the one
For me
Oh yes you will ,boy
And I believe in dreams again
I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I'm free
'Cause I believe in you and me
I will never leave your side
I will never hurt your pride
When all the chips are down baby
See now I'll always be around
Just to be right where you are
My love, you know I love you boy
I will never leave you out
I will always let you in boy, oh baby
To places no one's ever been
Deep inside, can't you see
That I believe in you and me
Maybe I'm a fool
To feel the way I do
I will play the fool forever
Just to be with you forever
I believe in miracles
And love's a miracle
And yes, baby you're my dream come true
I was lost, now I'm free
Oh baby 'cause I believe, I do
Believe in you and me
See I was lost, now I'm free
'Cause I believe in you and me
Believe in you and me

Meaning & Inspiration
Whitney Houston's rendition of "I Believe in You and Me," featured on *The Preacher's Wife* soundtrack released in 1996, transcends a mere love song to become a profound testament to unwavering faith and steadfast devotion, echoing the very heart of biblical devotion. While ostensibly a declaration of love for a romantic partner, the song's underlying message resonates deeply with the principles of spiritual commitment and the enduring power of belief found throughout Scripture. Houston's powerful vocal delivery, imbued with a palpable sense of conviction, mirrors the profound trust and surrender spoken of in passages like Hebrews 11:1, which defines faith as "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." The repeated affirmation, "I believe in you and me," can be interpreted as a spiritual declaration of faith in God's promises and the divine strength found within that relationship. It speaks to a confidence that, much like the believer’s reliance on God's faithfulness, this earthly bond is fortified by a higher power. This belief isn't a passive hope, but an active certainty, aligning with Proverbs 3:5-6, which encourages us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." The song encapsulates the idea of finding one's foundation in a person or, more profoundly, in the divine, ensuring that no matter the circumstances, this core belief provides stability and purpose. This unwavering commitment mirrors the covenantal love described in the Bible, where God's faithfulness is constant, and believers are called to a similar constancy in their spiritual journey. The assurance Houston conveys is akin to the peace that comes from knowing one is walking in God’s will, a peace that surpasses all understanding, as Philippians 4:7 assures us. Ultimately, "I Believe in You and Me" serves as a powerful reminder of the strength that comes from placing one's complete trust in something greater than oneself, fostering a sense of resilience and hope that is deeply rooted in spiritual conviction.
