Jalál (Glory), 14 Sulṭán (Sovereignty) 176 B.E. - Saturday, February 1, 2020 Song: One God Artist: Barbra Streisand and Johnny Mathis Lyrics1 Millions of stars placed in the skys By One God Millions of us lift up our eyes To One God So many children calling to him By many a different name One father Loving each the same Many the ways all of us pray To one god Many the path Winding their way To One God Brothers and sisters there are no strangers After his work is done For your God and my God Are one So many children calling outloud By many a different name One father Loving each the same Many the ways all of us pray To one God Many the paths winding their way To One God Brothers and sisters there were no strangers After the world was done Our God, yes your God, and My God Are one! It's a new month, so I may as well start it out with one of my favorite songs. When I searched YouTube for this song, I looked for the one sang by Barbra Streisand, who is one of my favorite female vocalist. You can't imagine how happy I was to find that Ms Streisand and Johnny Mathis, one of my favorite male vocalist, sang a duet. I don't think this video is a traditional duet, I suspect it's a mix of the song sang at different times by each vocalist. This makes no difference to me because it is well done, with appropriate photos from the Holy Land of Israel. I like this rendition the best because, for me, it symbolizes unity. The song, itself, embodies the concept of divine unity which goes beyond any one religion to take in all religions. It doesn't matter the religion or the name call God because there is only one God, who revealed all religions through many different prophets or manifestations. This version of the song emphasizes both unity of humanity and the equality of men and women. The unity of humankind is shown through the fact that both a black and white vocalist sing the song. Gender equality is expressed through the fact that the vocalist are a female and male, with their voices complimenting each other. Footnotes |
