A Prayer for Peace
© 2007, Tom Smith

Refrain:
Peace be with me.
Peace be with you.

Fit not our arrows
Bend not our bows
Lengthen our stride
For peace

The wise all know
The seeds we sow
Will bear like fruit
Sow peace

May the words
From my mouth
And thoughts in my mind
To all mankind
Say peace

Nice job, I like the double capo sound!

Hello Glenn,

Thanks for the kind comment. The partial capo (sometimes called short-cut capo) is a fascinating new tool for me. Try a google search on "partial capo" and you will find a large community of enthusiasts.

You obviously dont have enough faith then. You should know that prayer is the seed, & faith is the water. Thats how it works.
