A Lot of people did this but Frankie is the one I remember.

Frankie Laine Sings I Believe

It was not impossible to have a top hit with a moral message in the 50's.

ELVIS PRESLEY LYRICS

"I Believe"

I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come
To show the way
I believe, I believe

I believe above a storm the smallest prayer
Can still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word

Everytime I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why, I believe

Everytime I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why, I believe

[Huskrrrr]

Yes, seeing this in a larger context I see your point.

[Fiji Hill]

Jane Froman's version of "I Believe," from the early months of 1953, is my favorite.
