Didn't Vince Gill sing a song called, Let There Be Peace On Earth..

Something on another thread reminded me of this song. I think he sang it with his daughter. I know somewhere on here we can find the words to this song. It would be a good one to sing in our heads, year 'round.

 

Maybe someone would share those words on here with us. ??  Thanks. It's a pretty song.

@qualitygal, are you referring to "Let There Be Peace On Earth, And Let It Begin With Me"?

He did record this quite some time ago on a Christmas album.

 

If this is it, you can get the lyrics by googling........

Vince Gill – Let There Be Peace On Earth Lyrics

 

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 ev'ry 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

First time I heard this song it was a duet sung by Pat Boone and Johnny Mathis.

@qualitygal ... If you want to see his most tear-jerking version of this song (which is my favorite song of all time), watch this video from youtube. It is the "American Soldier's Christmas" version of it by Vince Gill and his daughter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EsMZ1w6nrU

@Yardlie,

Thank you so much for that. This should be seen at least once a month.

My nursing school class sang this at our graduation and it has always been a favorite of mine.Some of my classmates had husband's or boyfriends in Viet Nam so that was why we chose this song.

Vince Gill was more widely known when he was younger, but he is still a phenomenal talent. He doesn't get enough recognition outside of Nashville. I do believe he works with the up and coming artists in Nashville and is a very talented guitar player. I'd love to see him more!
