En håndfull håp

Mitt ønske er at lytteren
får et glimt av håp – for livet,
og til og med i møte med døden.
En bekreftelse på Guds nærvær.
Der Gud er – der er håp.

– Tore

En handful of hope

My desire is that the listener
receives a spark of hope – for life,
and even if facing death.
A reassurance of the near presence of God.
Where God is – there is hope.

– Tore
