Rises a rhythm—a sacred song,
Passed through blood, through bloodlines deep,
A legacy rooted in faith to keep.
Mothers praying in quiet nights,
Holding on through struggles and fights,
Their voices rising, fierce

In agonies and blood,
Who fix’d His languid eyes on me.
As near His Cross I stood.

I work in a building called THE SHALOM CENTRE in Sydney. Recently Kathryn, a Jewish girl said she found it unusual that we would call a building Shalom, since it is a Jewish term for saying HI AND GOODBYE. It literally means "PEACE BE WITH YOU". Shalom is a Biblical word.
