The song "Let There Be Peace on Earth" has been sung around the world since 1955. It was written by a husband and wife song-writer team about their dream of world peace and their belief that each and every one of us could help create it.

The song is popular in churches, schools,  and numerous other community groups. What makes this song very interesting, apart from the inspiring lyrics, is that it was not "officially published" but spread by word of mouth throughout the world. It has been sung by numerous professional singers such as Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Mary Tyler Moore, Gladys Knight, Mahalia Jackson, and many many more.

Let It Begin With Me!

It is definitely a song that "sticks to you" once you've heard it. I find myself singing it when I need to reconnect with inner peace (as when I'm upset with my husband and want to lash out at him). It is a great source of comfort and raises your vibration immediately.
