Laura Farnell has drawn her inspiration for this gospel-style composition from the work of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and others like him, who worked to break down the barriers of racial and social discrimination. A gripping Van Dyke text delivers the powerful message:
when we choose love and sing together in community, surely “peace and love will conquer hate and strife.”
