Even at the gates of hell, 
Believe in redemption.
Let my grace and power work,
Where you have none.
It is only for you
To believe and to trust.
Be confident.
Trust.
Love.
Do not condemn.
Believe,
In the face of unbelief.
Hope against hope.
This is faith.
This is the gift most needed
For those who have suffered
So deeply, and lost all.
You must manifest love and hope.
It is only then
That my people will begin to
Believe in themselves.
