Let the World Be Well
Words and music by Pam Donkin

“Let the World Be Well” is the 500th song to appear in PIO!
Pam wrote this song just before the CMN International Conference in 2015 and sang it in the round-robin. The first verse and all but one line of the chorus came out all at once, but the first line of the chorus was rewritten about an hour before she sang it! In fact, frustrated that the line was not sounding right, she considered not singing the song for the round-robin at all, when suddenly the perfect line popped into her head. Everything worked out, and the song was accessible enough as a sing-along that it was sung in multipart harmony by all in attendance.
