At the New York City Marathon we began after 9/11 singing God Bless America as part of the benediction of the Worship Service held at Fort Wadsworth in Staten Island where the marathon starts.
The New York City Marathon is an international event here in America. I began to think as great as this benediction is it is really "self serving". To have peace in our world all nations and all faiths need to come together and pledge solidarity, solitude, and a commitment of safety and peace, liberty and justice for All.
In that spirit I am writing the first draft of: "God Bless Our Universe"
All comments are welcome.
God Bless our universe
The earth a gift of your love
Stand beside us
and guide us
Through the night with light from above
From the mountains to the desserts
From the oceans to skies above
God bless all of us with love for all
God keep all of us in light of call
The earth a gift of your love
Stand beside us
and guide us
Through the night with light from above
From the mountains to the desserts
From the oceans to skies above
God bless all of us with love for all
God keep all of us in light of call
