I heard this song one time on television some thirty years ago and immediately fell in love with it. And then for all those many years could never find it again, and didn't know who had recorded it.
But the words weren't hard to remember - taken from Psalm 137, and the bridge from Psalm 19. Plus the tune was so catchy, I couldn't forget it. Happily, a couple of years ago I rediscovered it on YouTube: so here you go. Seems appropriate after your Head Trucker's woods-and-water excursion this week. And I'll just bet this will have you toe-tapping around the house this Sunday morning too. Enjoy.
THANK YOU, TEAM BLUE - YOU DID YOUR BEST FOR AMERICA

Prayer for Peace
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Had a similar response to the song as rendered by the Melodians and Jimmy Cliff in the album The Harder They Come, circa 1972. That was when I was more open minded. I'm less so now that I associate Jamaica and Reggae with anti-gay vitriol, which is sad for both me and the Jamaican culture.
(my word verification here is "singstil" - scary!)
I've always loved this type of music and this song.
I was raised in the boring, stuffy, old Catholic church. UGH!
Even the priests were boring!
Frank - yeah there's something just real uncanny about them word verification things . . . .
Stan - I hear ya. Musically the Catholic and Episcopal churches are an awful bland diet. You have to get down at least to Methodist level to find some hymns you can really move-and-groove to.
I have always loved this song, my Favorite is Mary's Boy Child. My good Catholic Mom, thought it was wrong....I rocked the house to these songs always...and still do
