(Repeat the last two lines after every verse)
We’ll walk hand in hand, we’ll walk hand in hand
We’ll walk hand in hand, some day,
Black and white together, black and white together
Black and white together, some day,
The truth will make us free, the truth will make us free,
The truth will make us free some day,
The Lord will see us through, the Lord will see us through,
The Lord will see us through some day,
We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace some day,
We are not afraid, we are not afraid,
We are not afraid today,
The whole wide world around, the whole wide world around
The whole wide world around some day,
We
We
Oh,
We

overcome, we shall overcome
overcome some day
in my heart I do believe

History's Greatest Heroines
The queen o f Sheba is one o f history’ s greatest heroines, and the story o f
her visit to King Solomon is well known. Queen Sheba was actually Queen
Makeda who ruled Ethiopia from a district named Azab or Asabe or Saba.
Queen Makeda ascended the throne in about 1005 BC on the death o f her
father, King Kawnasya. She was very rich; her caravans trafficked by sea and
land to far places.
On the occasion o f her visit to Jerusalem, Queen Makeda was welcomed
cordially by Solomon, who housed her in his palace. Queen Makeda spent
several months on intense study in Jerusalem; Solomon was her constant
companion.
A fte r she returned to her Kingdom, Queen Makeda totally accepted the
religion o f Israel. To help her extend its growth Solomon told each o f his
counselors to send his eldest son to Ethiopia to work among the people.
