IMPORTANT!!!! WE MADE THIS VIDEO YEARS AGO, SO WHEN I SAY THE DATE OF THE CONCERT (TWICE)... IT'S WRONG!!!
WE GATHER TOGETHER-
We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens his will to make known;
The wicked oppressing, cease them from distressing;
His name be ever praised; He forgets not his own.
We all do extol thee, thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that thou still our defender will be;
Let thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL-
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern impassion’d stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev’ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH-
(We sang this one with harmonies, only because we know it, but you just have to sing the melody... And don't worry about the high ending section that we sang either.)
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.
(for the brotherhood Concert, this line is) With God as our Father; (for the Choral Showcase, this line is) As part of our planet
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
With peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me.
