"THE PEACE SONG"
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, united all are we, Let us walk with each other, in perfect harmony. Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now. With every step I take, let this be my joyous vow. To take each moment, and live each moment, in peace eternally, Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.

7e Undo/le :Road ~ bul a 2Jend.in ie :Road
When we feel we have nothing left to give And we are sure that the usong has ended"When our day seems over and the shadows fall
And the darkness of night has descended, Where can we go to find the strength To valiantly keep on trying,
Where can we find the hand that will dry The tears that the heart is crying -
There s but one place to go and that is to God And, dropping all pretense and pride,
We can pour out our problems without restraint And gain strength with Him at our side And together we stand at lifes crossroads And view what we think is the end, But God has a much bigger vision And He tells us its only a bendFor the road goes on and is smoother, And the Hpause in the song" is a urest," And the part that s unsung and unfinished Is the sweetest and richest and best So rest and relax and grow stronger, Let go and let God share your load, Your work is not finished or ended, You've just come to ua bend in the road."
