We are the World 1985 and one of the most successful joint efforts of musicians and while they didn't save the world they did generate resources and one fantastic video. It was fun to look back, but let us not forget charity is something to live daily and locally. Yes I know they have an updated one for Haiti... another great cause. Here's my bias, I won't know anymore than a few on that video.
When I started this blessing thread it was going to end with Faith, Hope and Love; and I knew the Faith song that has been in my bones recently. David Tamulevich of Mustard's Retreat forwarded his song "Simple Faith" to a collection of friends of Christine Kane, and I had the chance to hear it for the first time. (I too was on that collection.) Wow it has instantly become a favorite of mine. Simple Faith is on their "MR7" 2005 cd and has Jan Krist or Kerrie Porter singing a beautiful female harmony. Here is a great review of the cd.
I love how they describe the song as laws to live by :
"...There is no Hell to fear. No judgment day drawing near
Trust that inner voice you hear, everyday
Life's not a goal or race, it's about heart and faith
And living a life of grace. Everyday..."
Then how about this endorsement:
" I have heard the song. Simple Faith, and think its wonderful......It's a fine album, my friend. Congratulations." - Peter Yarrow, Peter, Paul & Mary
I highly recommend you buy at least the song on iTunes for inspiration for when you need it...
