The Bahamas Friendship Anthem [
LISTEN ]
Friendship Chords
Lyrics and Music by Marguerite Samuel (c) 2011
Let all the
nation join us in love and friendship chords,
For each of us
was given a life to share his love.
Be kind to those
who do you wrong, and smile to cheer their day.
This simple act
of grace will change the pattern of disgrace.
We cannot let our
quarrels and preconceived ideas,
Erase divine
compassion, benevolence and grace.
For in our sin
God ransomed us, defeated every grave.
But if we love
beyond ourselves, our problems He will take.
When someone
seems too angry and their frustration stings,
Make sure to
think beyond their present so distinct.
Reach out to
them; don't mind the sting, for God's love
conquers all.
Your kind embrace
will melt disdain on our Bahamian shores.
