"For the first time in her 12 - year recording career, Houston sounds genuinely moved by her material . Early on she stumbles through the Annie Lennox - penned "Step By Step," but the presence of the Georgia Mass Choir on six subsequent tracks melts her frosty reserve," People magazine wrote . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> No . </Th> <Th> Title </Th> <Th> Writer (s) </Th> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> <Th> Length </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1 . </Td> <Td> "I Believe in You and Me" (film version) </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> David Wolfert </Li> <Li> Sandy Linzer </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Mervyn Warren </Li> <Li> Whitney Houston </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> 4: 03 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2 . </Td> <Td> "Step by Step" </Td> <Td> Annie Lennox </Td> <Td> Stephen Lipson </Td> <Td> 4: 12 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 3 . </Td> <Td> "Joy" (with the Georgia Mass Choir) </Td> <Td> Kirk Franklin </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Mervyn Warren </Li> <Li> Whitney Houston </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> 3: 16 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 4 . </Td> <Td> "Hold On, Help Is on the Way" (with the Georgia Mass Choir) </Td> <Td> Rev.
