Highlight from lyrics to “See Myself in You” by Tom Prasado-Rao and Tom Kimmel: “If I met you on the corner, would I know you as you are? Would I take you for a stranger and brush past you in the door? If you called me, would I hear you? Would I walk away too soon? If I lingered for a moment, would I see myself in you? If you held me like my brother, would I see myself in…

Highlights inspired by “Part this Sea” by the Friedels and Richard Mekdeci   I’m facing my worst enemy.  I know that You will part this sea.   I call on You to rescue me.  I know that You will part this sea.   You are the LORD, my God.  I know that You will part this sea.    I know that You are here with me.  I know that You…

Lyrics to “It’s a Brand New Day” (by Glen Roethel, Sue Riley & Richard Mekdeci): “It’s a brand new day…. The power of love has rolled that stone away…. It’s a brand new day! Faith can move a mountain, part that stormy sea. Love can be a fountain pouring over me. Hope can build a future so we can truly say, the past is past, free at last, it’s a brand new day! The…

Highlights from lyrics to “Hallelujah Today!” by Denise Rosier: With every mile, I’m reminded I never go empty-handed. God is my strength, I’m never stranded. I’m not alone. Every breath in me proclaims, Hallelujah today! The road is long, but I will make it, that’s who I am. It’s not the race but how I’m running, not who I was, who I’m becoming. Steady on, I’ll finish…

Highlights from lyrics by Sloan Wainwright to “I Am Free”     I am free, right where I am—a piece of the puzzle, a part of the plan.     I won’t walk like a slave today, chained to my regret I forgive, I won’t forget.   I won’t talk like a slave today, suffering to survive. I find myself alive.   I am free, right where I am—by the…

God loves me and sees me well. The place for my healing is right here, right where I am. Now, in this moment, I am ready and willing to be healed. Now is the time for me to go within and discover that I already know how it feels to be whole, how to heal.

Lyrics from “Holy Now” by Peter Mayer: “When I was in Sunday school, we would learn about the time Moses split the sea in two and Jesus made the water wine . . . .” “I remember feeling sad, miracles don’t happen still, and now I can’t keep track, ‘cause ev’rything’s a miracle . . . .” “When holy water was rare at best, it barely wet my fingertips. Now, I have to hold my…

Inspired by lyrics to “My Religion Is Kindness” by Melinda Wood Allen: My religion is kindness. My creed is forgiveness. I live in a house of glass. I cannot throw stones. My prayer is for oneness. My sanctuary is music. Love is my purpose. My heart is my home. There’s a simple path and when I walk it, I am free: do for others as I’d have them do for me. Tomorrow is a…

Inspired by lyrics to “Wholehearted” by Jan Garrett and JD Martin There’s a new Church on the horizon, made of light, not of stone, calling now to all creation, “You are not alone.” We are One Heart, looking for answers. We are One Soul, finding our way through the dark. Hold out your hand. Someone will take it and bring you home again. We are One Heart, One Soul, One…

Inspired by lyrics from “Rising in Love” by David Roth I always find it surprising, the way people say that they’re falling in love when I always thought I was rising, floating right off of the ground and reaching something that I only have dreamed of. I’m not falling at all; I am rising in love. Everyone talks about tying the knot, … but the feeling of love should be…
