The talented sisters of Elenyi perform a beautiful mash up of ‘The Prayer’ and ‘Savior Redeemer Of My Soul.’
David Foster, Carole Bayer Sager, Alberto Testa and Tony Renis originally wrote ‘The Prayer’ in 1999 for Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. The song was written in both English and Italian for Celine and Andrea to sing solo, respectively. Later, the two powerhouse voices came together for an incredible duet of this beautiful song that received rave reviews.
‘The Prayer’ went on to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song in 1999 and was nominated for both a Grammy and an Academy Award.
“So let the children remember the sun
Let them dance, let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer”
Today, the duo of Elenyi belt out an incredible mash up of this iconic song and the hymn ‘Savior Redeemer Of My Soul.’ These two songs blend together perfectly and these words truly remind us of the power and love that comes from the Lord.
“Savior, Redeemer of my soul,
Whose mighty hand hath made me whole,
Whose wondrous pow’r hath raised me up
And filled with sweet my bitter cup!
What tongue my gratitude can tell,
O gracious God of Israel.”
The lyrics truly make us think about our relationship with God. When we put our trust in Him, the Lord will lead us exactly where we need to be.
