    Copyrighted Lyrics for “Let There Be Peace on Earth”

     By Jill Jackson and Sy Miller

Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me;
Let there be peace on earth,
The peace that was meant to be.

With God as our Father
Brothers all are we,
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me,
Let this be the moment now;
With every step I take,
Let this be my solemn vow:

To take each moment and live each moment
In peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.

**Copyrighted alternate lyrics:

With God our Creator
We are family,
Let us walk with each other

In perfect harmony.

Or

With Earth as our Mother
We are family,
Let us walk with each other

In perfect harmony.
