“God, I know there is something in the heavens.”
Symbol of Hope and Faith
Even in the worst of circumstances, God is always there. This timeless knowledge has been preserved in an African American gospel song,
"Up above my head, I hear music in the air,
Up above my head, there's a heaven somewhere”:
and in a wise Brazilian proverb:
"Don't tell God that you have a great problem,
Tell your problem that you have a great God.”
