Each Man as My Brother
Each man as my brother,
Each woman as my sister
Each one as my friend
We need one another…
When I was in college back in the late 50s and early 60s, we sang this song in the A Cappella choir at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. I loved it then. I love it even more now. We need it!!
We need one another
So I will defend
Each man as my brother,
Each man as my friend.
Each woman as my sister,
Each one as my friend.
Lord, heal our nation.
Almighty God, step in and heal our divisions.
Help us understand our Oneness.
Help us just LOVE ONE ANOTHER!!
Lie down, my friends.
Put your feet up.
Fold your hands.
Click that arrow up there –
And pray this as a prayer with me
As we sing that song together,
“No man is an island…
No man stands alone,
Each man’s joy is joy to me
Each man’s grief is my own.
We need one another,
So I will defend
Each man as my brother,
Each man as my friend.”
Each woman as my sister,
With love that knows no end.
Beth Guckenberger,
from her book, Reckless Faith: Let Go and Be Led,
“Hope is reborn in the form of faith,
faith that God will take over,
even if you can’t see how.”
Rest in that thought!!
You are in my thoughts,
in my prayers,
in my heart.
Bee well.
Just love!
See ya later,
JanBeek
