Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God as our Father,
Brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me,
Let this be the moment now
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow:
To take each moment and live each moment
In peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me.
I remember singing this song in my church choir when I was about 8, when the conflict making the most headlines was that of Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland. I remember thinking to myself even then that the world would be such a nicer place if we all could take those words to heart, and today as they came back to me (for reasons I may never know!) I think about how much hasn't really changed. Most everyone I know says they want a gentler, more peaceful world...and it has to begin with us. Making my world a more peaceful place has to start with me.
