Text put to music in an anthem by Sumner Jenkins
Even When God Is Silent
I believe in
the sun even when it is not shining. I
believe in love even when feeling it not.
I believe in the sun
even when it is not shining. I believe
in love even when feeling it not.
I believe in God even
when God is silent. I believe in the
silence.
This text in the anthem was found on a basement wall
in Cologne, Germany. It had been written
by someone hiding from the Gestapo.
The experience of God being perceived as silent occurs when we
experience no apparent activity of God on our behalf to save us from events
that stretch from being merely inconvenient to unpleasant to downright
horrifying.
