Cover art for I Believe In You lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

I just love this song! I had it played for my son at his high school graduation Senior Service at church. For weeks before, everytime I'd hear it, I'd cry almost uncontrollably. You see, my son and I were alone for the first five years of his life after his father left me pregnant. I named him Alex which means "helper" because I knew he would be the one I would depend on indefinitely, or at least I thought so. (God sent us a special man when Alex was 5 1/2 years old). I believe in him so much and I know that he CAN become whatever God has chosen for him to become. I've been in the stands cheering for him since he started playing ball at age 4 and I'll always be there, even when he falls. This song is perfect for a mom and her child when he/she grows up. My son even now has this ring tone on his phone for when I call him.
