about

I want to do something to show support for Ukraine so I was really grateful when we sang this hymn in church. It encapsulates a lot of my feelings and hopes about the situation. I recorded a solo acoustic version as soon as I got home and made arrangements to record this version soon after. I know it's not much to help all the people who are suffering right now, but it's a great way for me to express how I feel and hopefully others will relate.

I don't want any payments from this. Instead, I'm posting some links on ways you can help the people of Ukraine. Let's all pray that this conflict is over soon and we can look back on this track and feel that it's extremely dated. Until then I hope it gives you peace, hope and a desire to keep on fighting the good fight!

lyrics

This is my song, O God of all the nations,
a song of peace for lands afar and mine;
this is my home, the country where my heart is;
here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine:
but other hearts in other lands are beating
with hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.

My country’s skies are bluer than the ocean,
and sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine;
but other lands have sunlight too, and clover,
and skies are everywhere as blue as mine:
O hear my song, thou God of all the nations,
a song of peace for their land and for mine.

May truth and freedom come to every nation;
may peace abound where strife has raged so long;
that each may seek to love and build together,
a world united, righting every wrong;
a world united in its love for freedom,
proclaiming peace together in one song.
