5/21 Thoughtful Thursday

Happy Thursday!
I have 3 videos for you to watch today.

1. I Love You, Lord - the words are your prayer today.

2. We Are the World
Here is some information about the history of this song (quoted from Wikipedia):
"We Are the World" is a charity single originally recorded by the supergroup USA for Africa in 1985. It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. With sales in excess of 20 million copies, it is the eighth best-selling physical single of all time.
The song was released on March 7, 1985, as the first single from the album. A worldwide commercial success, topping music charts throughout the world and becoming the fastest-selling U.S. pop single in history. The first ever single to be certified multi-platinum, "We Are the World" received a Quadruple Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America.
The promotion and merchandise aided the success of "We Are the World" and raised over $63 million (equivalent to $147 million today) for humanitarian aid in Africa and the US.
Following the devastation caused by the magnitude 7.0 M earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, a remake of the song by another all-star cast of singers was recorded on February 1, 2010. Entitled "We Are the World 25 for Haiti", it was released as a single on February 12, 2010, and proceeds from the record aided survivors in the impoverished country.
In March 2020, Richie suggested that a third remake should be made to communicate a message of global solidarity during the COVID-19 pandemic and raise funds for aid efforts.


3. We Are the World/Heal the World by the Voices of Hope Children's Choir (Virtual Choir)
This is a remake of the original "We Are the World" plus part of another song "Heal the World."
