We Sing To Honor Rachel's Gift

In memory of Rachel Corrie,martyr for peace (1979-2003)
Recommended Tune: O Waly Waly LM, English folk melody

We sing to honor Rachel's gift.
She gave her life that others live.
Let us not dream, but act for peace ??
consider well what we can give.

She would not rest in her safe world
when she learned many lived in fear,
but chose to join them in their plight
and help them save all they held dear.

God, grant us courage and new zeal
that we, like her, will now embrace
her challenge that we never rest
until peace comes in every place.

Let us now pledge to share anew
the blessings we each day receive,
and dare to leave our safety zones
to demonstrate what we believe!
