Peace to the world
Peace to my country, my love
Peace to your dreams
Peace to your children
Peace to your children
Underneath the whispering trees
Where our sons and daughters are free

In the beauty we will see
Through your eyes of peace
Peace to our heart
Peace to our homeland
Peace to the heart
Peace to my country - my love

The Lord will turn His face to you.
The Lord will raise His face to you.
The Lord will initiate you.
The Lord will pardon you.
The Lord will educate you.
The Lord will bring you towards wholeness.
The Lord will bring you towards peace

''I was longing, full of desire more than life to be with God.
I was sinking into fire more than death to live with God. Eternity is now.
Always we are together ever now - alone, all one.
Under the moments crossing time, ever now, Eternity is now''

Say Allah Allah, Don't hurt another
He's the Lord of the World
Say His name over & over
Those who make ornaments of lies erase truth
Those who lie encounter hardship
Walk the ways of truth, don't hurt another
Say the name of the One Lord of the World
Broken mirrors can be mended, Broken hearts cannot
When love's trust is broken
Don't be cruel, Don't hurt another
Say the name of the One Lord of the World

Abwoon d'bwashmaya

Habwlan lachma d'sunqanan yaomana.
Washboqlan khaubayn (wakhtahayn)

Wela tahlan l'nesyuna

Metol dilakhie malkutha wahayla wateshbukhta l'ahlam almin.

Translation:

O Birther! Father-Mother of the Cosmos
you create all that moves in light.
Focus your light within us--make it useful:
as the rays of a beacon show the way.
Create your reign of unity now--
through our firey hearts and willing hands.
Your one desire then acts with ours,
as in all light, so in all forms.

Grant what we need each day in bread and insight:
subsistence for the call of growing life.
Loose the cords of mistakes binding us,
as we release the strands we hold of others' guilt.
Don't let us enter forgetfulness.
But free us from unripeness.
From you is born all ruling will, the power and the life to do,
the song that beautifies all, from age to age it renews.
Truly--power to these statements-- may they be the source from which all my actions grow.
Sealed in trust & faith. Amen.

Translation:

In the forest there's a light
And the clouds are crying priests
All the love that flows through now
Is witnessed by the trees.
Waves are laughing in the sea,
Fish or birds they chose to be
Insects' webs, our words and thoughts echo in the wind,
When God is everything you see,
Then everywhere you will see God.

Man, the earth, a womb, the sun,
Water, bread and children grow.
Time for peace between all these
Is all you ask to know.
When God is everything you see,
Then everywhere you will see God.
There's a kingdom in the world
To be seen from the inside
When a heart forgives itself,
There's no need to hide.
When God is everything you see,
Then everywhere you will see God.
Life and death - strong and weak
It's just the one who plays hide'n seek.

Translation:

Christ, thou art life, thee who was laid in a grave,
Legions of angels praise they incarnation in awe.
(Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, now and forever more, Amen)
We praise thee, thou art the Word.
Lord over all, together with the Father and the Holy Ghost
We glorify thy Holy Sepulchre.
It is right to praise thee, thou who giveth life,
Thou spreadeth thine arms on the cross and defeateth the enemy.
To save the essence of the mortal. I have martyred myself.
Therefore blame not Yourself so severely, Mother.
(Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, now and forever more, Amen.)

First Part -
Rita adapted this traditional prayer for peace to include Israel, Ishmael and every person on earth. The traditional Hebrew Prayer for Peace, Oseh Shalom, is recited in every Jewish prayer service. This is an adaptation of this prayer.
Music and English lyrics by Rita Glassman

''Oseh Shalom/Song For Peace''
Oseh shalom bimromav Hu yaaseh shalom aleynu (2X)
shalom al Yisrael, shalom al Yishmael, v´al kol yoshvei, yoshvei teyvel
v´imru, v´imru amen.

Let the One who makes peace in the heavens
Bring peace to us on this earth-
To all the children of Israel, and the children of Ishmael
Peace in every heart and in every land,
and we sing Amen.

Second Part - ''Shalom Aleichem'' Welcoming the Angels on High
Traditional prayer sung in Jewish service, Kabbalat Shabbat, begins with welcoming the angels of peace into our midst. Melody by Shmuel Brazil.

We welcome you, o angels on high

Bless me with peace, o angels of peace, angels on high
of the King of Kings, the Holy One, Blessed Be He
Go out in peace, o angels of peace, angels on high

First part - Beata Es Virgo Maria

Beata es, Virgo Maria, quae omnium portasti Creatorem:
genuisti qui te feci, et in aeternum permnes Virgo.
Blessed are you, O Virgin Mary, for you have carried the Creator of the universe; you gave birth to your Creator and you remain a virgin for all eternity.

Second part - Ave Maria/Psalm 95

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.

Psalm 95
O come let us rejoice in the Lord; let us sing joyfully to the God of our salvation.

Of the music she says -

''This song wasn't exactly made by me. It was actually making me. Healing and peace in the Holy Land is something I've longed for and prayed for, but as I heard news and my friends told me firsthand stories of life there, it became difficult to imagine. So I kept singing, and I kept praying - going into the desert of my own heart.

The song took shape as faith and love grew in me like a child. Somehow along the way, my heart broke open and a fountain of tender love poured forth. This love, called by many names including names of the Divine, is all-powerful and recognizes every one as Beloved. It is miraculous, and is bigger than our histories and our hurts. It shines through our hearts even when we can't imagine how. This Love is what is bringing peace and healing to all hearts.''
