The movie protrayed hope, love and forgiveness through the placement of an angel with various powers, mainly through the rules.

During the final scene, the director placed some arched windows behind Whitney Houston's character that made her look like a stereotypical angel with wings.








The soundtrack features the following songs:

I Believe In You And Me
Step By Step
Joy
Hold On, Help Is On The Way
I Go To The Rock
I Love The Lord
Somebody Bigger Than You And I
You Were Loved
My Heart Is Calling
Who Would Imagine A King
He's All Over Me
The Lord Is My Shepherd
Joy To The World
