Dr. Tom is one of the humans I most admire on our planet. He is the only full-time doctor in a hospital serving the war-torn region of the Nuba Mountains in the Sudan. He has remained in a dangerous area of the world that almost all others have abandoned. I wrote this song for Dr. Tom after watching him in the documentary "Heart of Nuba" (theheartofnuba.com) and reading about him in the New York Times article "He's Jesus Christ" (nyti.ms/1Kl2e69). He is most definitely a hero of mine.
I sent this song to Dr. Tom this past April 2020 and was overjoyed to know that he enjoyed it and even shared it with his family. I urge everyone to learn about Dr. Tom. In a time where selfishness and greed seem to be all around us, his life shines out like a guiding light.
Proceeds from any Downloads of this track will benefit Dr. Tom and the important and inspiring work he continues to perform on the African continent. May he be blessed in all ways!

lyrics
In the mountains, in the countryside, in the battle against genocide.
He stands astride the glory of his Lord.
Dr. Tom had the chance.. to follow wealth and circumstance.
But the call of his soul just couldn’t wait.
In the Nuban hills of Africa, where the bombs fall on the innocent. He’s a man that’s taken up the cause.
Dr. Tom..
May the Light of Love keep you in her arms. May the Love of God be always yours to share.
With grace and calm.. He restores the faith shattered by the bombs. He’s a Light of Hope in a gloomy world... Dr. Tom.
Do unto others, treat them all as you would your brothers.
Dr. Tom is a healer in a wounded world.
In a world mad for gold, where there is a price for every soul, Let us all praise the one who walks away.
Who gives up his gifts, for no financial benefits.
He heals the sick who cannot pay.
Dr. Tom..
May the Light of Love keep you in her arms. May the Love of God be always yours to share.
With grace and calm.. He restores the faith shattered by the bombs. He’s a Light of Hope in a gloomy world... Dr. Tom.
In this time of confusion, delusion, illusion.
It’s only the heart cuts through the lies.
They call him Dr. Tom, the light of God among falling bombs, His life is one with the Sacred Heart.
Let us all praise the man.. whose humble faith and holy stand push back the darkness from the Sacred Dawn.
May he always be blessed and when his soul does finally rest, may the Love of the Son guide his way home.
Dr. Tom..
May the Light of Love keep you in her arms. May the Love of God be always yours to share.
With grace and calm.. He restores the faith shattered by the bombs. He’s a Light of Hope in a gloomy world... Dr. Tom.
