Palestine is Calling, songs by Garth Hewitt - No 4, Ten Measures of Beauty (Pray for the Peace)
From the heart of Palestinian suffering, this song says that the way to peace is justice - without justice and equality there is no way forward towards peace.
“Peace itself will never come till there’s justice for everyone.“
People must be treated in a way that shows they are of equal value.
Let’s remember that as we pray and sing for peace.

Lyrics
Ten Measures of Beauty (Pray for the Peace)
Ten Measures of beauty God gave to the world
Nine to Jerusalem, one to the rest
Ten measures of sorrow God gave to the world
Nine to Jerusalem, one to the rest
So pray for the peace, pray for the peace
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace, pray for the peace
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
