From The Good Book
Listen to the music in the street.There's a rising tide and a restless beatAnd a call to start anew with a Jubilee.For the things we've lost are to be found In our common wealth and common groundCommon dreams and fears the world aroundWill bring the Jubilee.
Bring the day! Bring the day!
Join the dance of the Jubilee and bring the day!
Look into the wisdom in each face
See the world is now a smaller place
And it's calling with one voice for a Jubilee.
For the land we tread is not our own
An inheritance for us alone
But the future's gift to us on loan
To dance the Jubilee.
Bring the day! Bring the day!
Join the dance of the Jubilee and bring the day!
There's a hope that lives within each breast
For a touch of healing, time of rest
And a vision of life made whole by a Jubilee.
So, we'll share the work,
spread forth the gain
Listen for the Spirit's song again
Limber up to greet the day of change
And dance the Jubilee.
Bring the day! Bring the day!
Join the dance of the Jubilee and bring the day!
You can hear it in the rhythm of peace
You can see it in the chain's release
Time of reckoning,
Time of grace,
Time of Jubilee.
Where the planet is your neighbour's home
Where the promise is you're not alone
Let the Spirit lead us out as one into the Jubilee!
Bring the day! Bring the day!
Join the dance of the Jubilee and bring the day!
