JCDA Offical Song: Let There Be Peace On Earth
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, sisters all are we;
Let me walk with my sister 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, in peace eternally!
Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me!
