About the Song

An incredible song about true power and how we can all work together for peace.

The Living Spirit of God ("ruah") is the true power - not the worldly kind of power and authority that attempts to force its way over others or build itself up.

Thank you, Debbie: we need your message more than ever today.

Lyrics

Not by might
And not by power
But by spirit alone (“ruach!”)
Shall we all live in peace (repeat)

GF CG / CD G / GF G / D G

Instrumental (3-2-3 beats): C--F-G-- (2x)
The children sing
The children dream
And their tears may fall, but we’ll hear them call
And another song will rise
Another song will rise
Another song will rise!

(tag) Not by might, not by power, shalom!
