Inspired by lyrics to “It Works when You Work It” by Sue K. Riley & Fred Bogert:
“It works, when I work it! My good comes pouring through.
It works, when I work it – these principles of Truth.
… I know that I am ready to receive …. If I trust my heart to lead,
then love comes pouring through …. My good will know my face.
I’m making room for miracles and saving room for grace.”
