I believe in peace of mind
even when my thoughts are troubled...
I believe in tomorrow
when today is going nowhere...
I believe in prayer
even when I cannot pray...
I believe in truth
even when I cannot find it...
I believe in beauty
when all is stark and barren...
I believe in joy
even when my heart is grieving...
I believe in friendship
even when I'm all alone...
I believe in the sun
even when it isn't shining...
I believe in love
even when I do not feel it...
And Lord, I believe in you
even when you're silent...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch for you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
Even When He Is Silent by Kim Andre Arnesen,
performed by the Atlanta Master Chorale
These words, scratched on a cellar wall,
were written by a Jew hiding in Cologne, Germany,
during World War 2.
