Let justice join with peace
Redeeming the whole wide earth
All humankind stands up
Affirming their rightful worth
So raise each voice, let the world rejoice
When each soul is whole and free
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me

What a wonderful post and sentiment. I may borrow our translations for my own post as I'm being lazy lately. :)
Merry Christmas, Lewis.
(Oops) I meant YOUR translations!
A beautiful post - and here is wishing you both the most beautiful holiday season that you can imagine!
Lovely sentiment, Lewis--if only Bozo and his gang in D.C. would read it and take it to heart.
Hugs to you both from Boston for a lovely holiday season.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night
Wishing you and yours peace and joy.
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for the New Year!
Here is a nice Christmas message (is a gospel number by Aretha Franklin and Mavis Staples) that has a message that is *very* dear to my heart. It is titled "Be Grateful". It is what I am personally feeling as I enter the day of the Lord this year. 2006. However, I think the message is universal, and is good advice for all people to remember: 24/7 and 365.
