MUSIC IN MY SOUL
MARCUS GARVEY
There's music in my soul today,
A joy of heart not there
before:
This state of conscience I relay
To rich and proud
and meek and poor.
There's music in my happy Soul:
From Heaven's realm doth truly
flow
This music in my happy Soul,
My conscience tells me
rightly so.
My song of joy I sing to you:
Let peace and love forever
be
Among ye men of every hue,
Of every land and charted
sea.
I crave no other fortune great,
But joy to live in peace with
God;
My hopes are fixed on His Estate,
In faith so true as
prophets had.
This music in my soul today
I spread in truth with love
unfurled;
On waves of cheer it goes, I pray,
To reach
around the belted world.
August 23, 1927
