Hi PLEBA!
On Sunday, 4 April, it will be the 36th anniversary og the passing from this earth in human form of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
As we all know the importance that Dr. King has had in Bono's personal and songwriting life (Pride), I want to offer a unique tribute to that special day.
When Bono received the King's Center Humanitarian of the Year Award in January (which I had the honor to witness), Bono talked about "a Balm in Gilead". I offer the words to this African-American Spiritual to remember Dr. King's Legacy and to thank Bono for taking us a step closer up to the Mountaintop on our mutual Journey of Equality.
There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole.
There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul.
Sometimes I feel discouraged and think my work's in vain,
but then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again.
Don't ever feel discouraged for Jesus is your friend,
And if you lack for knowledge, he'll not refuse to lend.
If you cannot preach like Peter, if you cannot pray like Paul,
you can tell the Love of Jesus and say "He died for all".
With much Love and Respect for Dr. King and Bono.
