“I Believe” is a deeply moving gospel song written and performed by Jimmy Fortune, featuring the harmonious talents of Dailey & Vincent. This collaboration brings together Fortune’s heartfelt songwriting and Dailey & Vincent’s rich bluegrass harmonies, creating a piece that resonates with listeners across generations.
The song’s lyrics reflect a profound faith and personal experiences, particularly touching on the themes of loss and hope.
