Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans-Count on Me

MY Key Points with Bible Verses

1. True friendship shows up in hard times

The song is a promise that real friends stand with you “through thick and thin,” not just when life is easy.

Bible Verse: Proverbs 17:17“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”

2. Their real‑life sisterhood gives the song its power

Whitney and CeCe weren’t just collaborators — they were spiritual sisters. Their bond makes the song feel authentic and deeply rooted in love.

Bible Verse: Ecclesiastes 4:9–10“Two are better than one… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.”

3. The song reinforces the healing themes of Waiting to Exhale

It reflects the film’s message: Black women supporting each other through heartbreak, transition, and renewal.

Bible Verse: Galatians 6:2“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

4. It blends gospel warmth with R&B storytelling

CeCe brings gospel roots; Whitney brings soulful power — together they create a message of hope that feels spiritual without being labeled gospel.

Bible Verse: Psalm 96:1“Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.”

5. It has become an anthem for community and collective strength

The song is used at graduations, funerals, women’s conferences, and church gatherings because it speaks to unity and resilience.

Bible Verse: Romans 12:10“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”
