Charice covered "Note to God" (actually she re-made the song, with new lyrics to the previous JoJo album cut) with much soul, splendor and better performance. Arranged by David Foster, written by Dianne Warren.

The songs starts off with a heartbeat gliding on a piano subtlety. Towards the middle, music is heightened as her voice soars and ending the song with a bravura middle range belt on an almost orchestra background. Live version on Oprah features a live white backup choir. Charice delivers the song so well that we can detect maturity in her voice over this single as compared to her earlier releases. What is interesting here too is that she's Filipino and she's given this great opportunity at an early age she's storming the world with her full voice. So proud of her and also a great lesson to the father that abandoned them.

Lyrics:

"Note To God"

f I wrote a note to God
I would speak whats in my soul
I’d ask for all the hate to be swept away
For love to overflow

If I wrote a note to God
I’d pour my heart out on each page
I’d ask for war to end
And for peace to mend this world
I’d say, I’d say, I’d say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it seems like so much is goin' wrong
On this road…… we’re on

If I wrote a note to God
I’d say please help us find our way
End all the bitterness
Put some tenderness in our hearts
And I’d say, I’d say, I’d say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven’t got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin' wrong
On this road, we’re on

No, no no no
We can’t do this on our own
So, so

(Give us the strength to make it through)
(Help us find love cause love is over due)
And it looks like we haven’t got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we’re on

No, no no no
We can’t do this on our own
So, So

If I wrote a note to God
