David Foster's song "Because We Believe" is a powerful and emotional tribute to faith, unity, and hope. The lyrics of "Pie Jesu" are sung in Latin, and they convey a message of redemption and salvation. "Pie Jesu" is a prayer to Jesus Christ, who takes away the sins of the world and grants eternal rest to the departed. The repetition of the words "Pie Jesu" creates a sense of urgency and supplication, as if the singer is pleading with Jesus to have mercy on us and grant us eternal life.
The following verses, "Agnus Dei," continue the theme of redemption and mercy. Agnus Dei means "Lamb of God," and it refers to Jesus Christ as the sacrificial lamb who takes away our sins. The repetition of "Dona eis requiem" reinforces the idea of asking for eternal rest and peace for those who have passed away.
The final verse, sung by the choir, repeats the phrase "Dona eis requiem sempiternam" which means "Grant them eternal rest." This final plea for peace and rest is a deeply emotional and powerful way to end the song. Overall, "Because We Believe" is a song that celebrates the power of faith and the hope that comes with it.
