Inscription of Hope
by Z. Randall Stroope
--from an inscription on cellar walls in Cologne, Germany

I believe in the sun even when it is not shinning,
and I believe in love when there's no one there.
And I believe in God even when he is silent,
I believe through any trail there is always a way.

But sometimes in this suffering and hopeless despair,
my heart cries for shelter,
to know someone's there.

But a voice rises within me saying
hold on my child.
I'll give you strength,
I'll give you hope.
just stay a little while.

May there someday be sunshine
may there someday be happiness
may there someday be love
may there someday be peace.

May there be love, hope and peace.
