THAT YOU CAN HEAR MY VOICE.

I SCREAM AND IT'S

LIKE A WHISPER.

I PRAYED FOR MY MOM SO MUCH.

AND I PRAYED SO LOUD.

AND THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE, GOD.

I'M STEPPING OUT ON FAITH

ONE LAST TIME.

AND IF YOU DON'T ANSWER ME,

I'LL KNOW YOU'RE NOT REAL.

OR THAT YOU DON'T LOVE ME.

SHE TOLD ME TO KISS

THE BOTH OF YOU EVERY DAY.

( sighs )

SHE TOLD ME:

TO TELL GERTIE SOMETHING.

AND DON'T GIVE UP SO EASY.

AND SHE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU...

GOD IS REAL.

( whispering )

God is real.

( "How He Loves Us"

Gertie:
IF YOU'D ASKED ME BEFORE

ABOUT GOD AND MIRACLES,

I'D HAVE TOLD YOU NEITHER

EXISTED AT ALL.

BUT I SAW A MIRACLE

WITH MY OWN EYES.

GOD...

IS REAL.

LOVE IS FOREVER.

AND FAMILY...

FAMILY'S WHERE YOU FIND IT.

HE IS JEALOUS FOR ME

LOVES LIKE A HURRICANE

I AM A TREE:

BENDING BENEATH:

THE WEIGH OF HIS WIND AND MERCY

WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN

I AM UNAWARE OF THESE

AFFLICTIONS ECLIPSED BY GLORY

AND I REALIZE JUST HOW

BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE

AND HOW GREA YOUR AFFECTIONS ARE FOR ME

HOW HE LOVES US ALL

HE LOVES US:

HE LOVES US:

WITH ALL HIS HEART

HE LOVES US:

HE GAVE HIS ALL:

NOW WE CAN CALL HIM

OH, HOW HE LOVES US
