2. ANGEL DREAM
I dreamed I was an angel, a being made of light,
with wings of pure vibration to rise to heaven's heights.
I soared upon the winds of joy and sang a melody
of gratitude and praise to Him Whose love created me.
I dreamed I was an angel and all I felt was love,
so all I saw seemed lovely and all I saw was one.
I floated on the winds of peace and rested in the grace
of being whole and being one with God my Source always.
I dreamed I was an angel, and God sent me to tell
His sleeping Son, "I love you. Abide no more in hell."
I had to fly through darkness to reach the fearful mind
that dreamed of desolation in a world of form and time/
How beautiful the Christ was beneath His veil of pain,
a light so pure and gentle, the radiance of God's Name.
With tenderness I blessed him and whispered in his heart:
"Dear child, your Father loves you. Now run no more apart."
I dreamed I was an angel who looked into your eyes
and found in them a treasure that made me realize
that there is only one of us. Your dream is but my own,
and I was sent to waken me and call myself back home.
I dreamed I was an angel.
3. GRACE
Grace of God, heal my sight.
Let me see only light
as I gaze on my brothers with You.
In Your grace let them shine
with the light of one mind
and reveal what is perfect and true.
In grace I live, in grace forgive.
By grace I'm saved, by grace awake.
In Your grace let them shine
with the light of one mind
and reveal what is perfect and true.
Let the gift of Your grace
wipe the tears from each face
and enfold all the world in its glow.
I will no more choose pain.
It's Your sweet grace I claim
to remember Your joy is my own.
In grace I live, in grace forgive.
By grace I'm saved, by grace awake.
I will no more choose pain.
It's Your sweet grace I claim
to remember Your joy is my own.
Like a flower of Christ
I am bathed in the light
of Your grace as it shines from above,
and I gently release
a holy fragrance of peace
to remind all the world of Your love.
In grace I live, in grace forgive.
By grace I'm saved, by grace awake.
And I gently release
a holy fragrance of peace
to remind all the world of Your love.
4. I WILL SING
I will sing down a pathway of light that leads home.
I'll sing of my Father and call Him my own,
I will sing with my brothers
of the oneness we share.
Together we'll chorus our love, joy and prayers.
Refrain
I will sing down the glory.
I'll sing down the light.
I will sing out the darkness
and sing in the Christ.
My voice has the power
of God's holy Word.
I will spread it like grace on the earth.
My words will be fire for melting the ice
that has frozen the mind in a glacier of lies.
Each song like a beacon
will burn pure and bright
to warm, guide and comfort those lost in the night.
Refrain
Sing with me, beloved, a melody sweet
that enfolds us gently in love's unity.
With it we'll weave
happy dreams for God's sons
to help them remember we're one.
Refrain
We will sing down the glory.
We'll sing down the light.
We will sing out the darkness
and sing in the Christ.
Our voice has the power
of God's holy Word.
We will spread it like grace on the earth.
5. SPIRIT OF PEACE
Refrain
Spirit of peace, Presence of holiness.
Spirit of love gently enfolds.
I dreamed a world of sin and of separateness,
lonely and desolate, where I thought I could hide.
God sent a Voice to gently awaken me
and ever remain with me and teach me of light.
Refrain
Deep in the mind, I hear Spirit calling me,
tenderly telling me that I amdivine.
Deep in the heart, I answer love joyfully,
remembering I am free, at home in the Christ.
Refrain
Resting in joy, I turn to the light within
and open my heart to sing sweet praises of God.
Miracles come to show me a different view,
a gentle world made new by my holy thoughts.
Refrain
6. BY STILL WATERS
Refrain:
By still waters of peace,
the Spirit leads the heart to rest.
By still waters of peace,
the mind in silence is refreshed.
In this world with its busy swirl
of images and thoughts,
existence is resistances
to the quiet love of God.
Refrain
The self entranced by ego's dance
is too afraid to stop.
It fears that peace would bring release
and it's whole world would be lost.
Refrain
The mind deceived by false beliefs
is running from the light.
But Spirit waits with gifts of grace
to bless the sleeping Christ.
Refrain
7. ARGENTINA SONRISE
Mi hermana, mi hermano,
I hear you crying in the dark.
Dry your eyes now. Look around you
and see the light softly rising in your heart.
For the day comes, a day of laughter
as you remember your holiness within,
pure spirit, luz de Cristo, Son of God
and always one with Him.
Mi hermana, mi hermano,
it is joy to look into your eyes
and see the love there, your gentle sweetness.
You are a mirror that helps me realize
there is but one mind, una mente,
and the world we see is just a dream.
Never have we left God. Our oneness
is all that can be real.
Mi hermana, mi hermano,
I hear you crying in the dark.
Dry your eyes now. Look around you
and see the light softly rising in your heart.
8. CAFÉ EGO
Cafe Ego's open now. Hello, and how are you?
Though there is only one of you, such singleness won't do.
Just make a wish: an extra dish, a table set for two.
(Don't be upset, but just one gets the lovely window view.)
Perhaps you'll try the ego pie. It is our specialty.
It's full of mmm and lots of mmm and things you'll think you see.
This yummy stuff won't fill you up. It never satisfies.
It disappears, was never here. It's just a dish of lies.
A salad we can make for you of things so fresh and green,
organic lunch that's full of crunch. How healthy it will seem!
And you can grin, for you'll be thin while others feed on fat.
(Until midnight when you'll delight in candybars and snacks.)
Ego souffle will make your day, at least if it stays puffed.
Last time it fell. Oh, that was hell! The chef left in a huff.
By happy fate it may inflate (to everyone's surprise.)
It might delight - or be a fright. It's you who must decide!
Or we can do an ego stew that really can't be missed.
You must have taste or we won't waste a gourmet dish like this.
This special stew's just for the few who can discriminate:
true food-ophiles who love the pile of stuff upon their plates.
No meal's complete without some sweets to titillate your mouth.
Some pie or cake is no mistake. Have no regrets or doubts.
If you pick fudge, you must not judge indulgence as a flaw.
(What else but food can substitute for heaven's light and God?)
Here is the check, and I suspect you'll think it's way too much.
But every gain must bring some pain. Why don't you two go dutch?
Just split the cost. There's equal loss, so both of you can pout:
"Cafe Ego's no place to go when one is dining out!"
9. HEART TO HEART
Heart to heart, I love to be heart to heart,
to learn we've not gone apart,
that we are still one.
Heart to heart, sharing truth heart to heart,
igniting the holy spark
that's the light of God's Son.
Mind to mind, joining our thoughts divine
as a singular light that shines
and undoes the night.
Face to face, sharing the love and grace,
the joyous and gentle way
of remembering we're Christ.
Heart to heart, join with me heart to heart,
to laugh at the guilty dark
and wipe away tears.
Heart to heart, when we join heart to heart,
our happiness we impart
to our brothers so dear.
Soul to soul, peace is our only goal,
remembering we are whole
and one in God's sight.
Gojng home, learning we're not alone,
God's magnitude is our own,
the Source of our life.
10. I AM A CHILD
I am a child, bringing You flowers, Lord,
out of my soul. How joyous the hours, Lord,
under Your gaze, learning Your lessons of love.
I am a child. I play in the garden
of light at Your feet. We never are parted.
Through every sweet day I'm learning Your lessons of love.
Refrain
Become as a child to enter the kingdom.
Give love like a child and you will have wings then
to fly to the heart of your Father in heaven.
He waits for His children to come back to him.
You are a child. Run to His arms with me.
Be not afraid. He has forgiven thee.
We will rejoice, learning His lessons of love.
He's calling us now, Children, come Home to Me!
Time to awake. I'm calling My Own to me.
Gentle His Voice, teaching the lessons of love.
Refrain
I am a child, bringing You flowers, Lord,
out of my soul. How joyous the hours, Lord,
under Your gaze, learning Your lessons of love.
11. KANSAS SONG
There's a great wind blowin'.
It's the Spirit in my mind.
It blows away the clouds
so that the Son I am can shine.
It's clearing out the darkness
from my dream of space and time.
There's a great wind blowin' in my mind.
There's a great wind blowin'
and it drives away the past.
It chases out the grimy ghosts
of guilt and pain and lack.
It sings through empty corridors
of memories and laughs.
There's a great wind blowin' in my mind.
Hear it howling in the treetops
and flinging sheets of rain
to shake out every false belief
and wash away the pain.
Its mission is to heal me
of my dreams of sin and shame.
There's a great wind blowin' in my mind.
Do you hear the wind that's rattling
the windows of your heart?
It is searching for a way to you,
long hiding in the dark.
Will you let it blow your fears away
and fan your holy spark?
There's a great wind blowin' in your heart.
12. JUST A DREAM
It is just a dream, the world you seem to see.
It is just a dream, with no reality.
In heaven you abide in joyous unity.
You are God's holy Son and ever loved shall be.
It is just a lie that says you're not the Christ.
It is just a lie of innocence in flight.
You forgot the truth, made up a world of night.
You forgot your Source of peace and joy and light.
It is just a thought that you could live apart.
It is just a thought, God with a splintered heart.
A single tapestry of shadows in the dark,
a single cosmic dream of molecules and stars.
It is just the past, a story that's unreal.
It is just the past the Spirit's come to heal.
Let the Voice within wake you from the dream
and turn your tears to joy when truth at last is seen.
It is just a joke, and you forgot to laugh.
It is just joke that what is one could clash.
Let the angels come and give your mind a bath,
to wash away all dreams of a dark and guilty past.
You are just a mind, shining, pure and whole.
You are just a mind, safe in your heaven home.
Created one with God - one mind, one Self, one Soul -
within His tender love, your being He enfolds.
13. THE ALTAR
It has been a long, long journey,
but at last I've reached my goal,
the altar where I've come to lay my gifts.
Votive candles flicker, casting shadows on the wall,
and I watch the smoky tendrils rise and drift.
Down upon my knees I go and see within the golden glow
the gleaming points of thorns red with new blood.
Distant cries of pain I hear, filling all my mind with fear
at crucifixion of someone I've judged.
In the guilty silence
comes a Voice that soft and gentle, saying,
"You must leave your gifts with Me awhile.
Go and find the one that you condemned to endless hell,
and in the light of Christ be reconciled.
Ask forgiveness at his feet, that your joy may be complete
in the memory there is only one.
Pain is all you can expect when any brother you reject,
so let your hate and anger be undone.
In the darkness looms a cross.
I see his body hanging there
and fear that my forgiveness comes too late.
Tears of contrition burning now as I recall his gentleness,
the goodness covered over by my hate.
Down upon my knees I fall and to his lifeless form I call,
"Brother, all your hurt I would undo.
God forgive me. I've been blind. I tried to cast guilt from my mind
by seeing all my sins and shame in you."
In the blackness of my sorrow
I become aware of light
and suddenly my brother's face I see.
Tenderly he's smiling and I hear the wIngs of angels
as they gather us in one bright unity.
Kneeling at the altar then with this dear and holy friend,
I see the crown of thorns has been replaced.
Pure white lilies shining there with their fragrance bless the air,
reminding us of God's sweet love and grace.
It has been a long, long journey, but at last I've reached my goal,
the altar where I found Love's holy gift.
14. SHARING THE JOY
Refrain
Sharing the joy, shining the light,
singing the bliss and soaring in Christ,
sharing the peace, shining the truth,
singing and soaring with you.
Joined in one purpose:
To heal what never was.
Peace is our purpose,
forgiving and living in love.
Refrain
We cast off the burdens
of guilt and sorrow and sin.
We rise up in purpose,
remembering heaven within.
Refrain
We call to our brothers:
This world offers nothing you want.
But joined in one purpose,
God's joy is our life and our song.
Refrain
15. TIME WASTING
Time is such a waste of time.
It wastes my heart and wastes my mind.
Nothing's all I'll ever find in time.
I am spirit, God's design, a light of joy that ever shines,
so why, you ask, am I resigned to wasting time in time:
I must be blind.
Perhaps it is the hypnosis
that says I sinned and God is angry at me.
I take my guilt in small doses:
Six billion bodies, give a little to each.
Refrain
The ego's got my attention,
so many problems, got to figure them out.
What if it's all just invention
that fills my mind with clouds of fear, pain and doubt?
Refrain
Zero plus zero is zero.
Zero times zero equals nothing at all.
This whole world I see is a zero,
unreal, impossible, illusory, false.
Refrain
The Voice of the Spirit is calling
from deep within. It says my freedom is here.
This nightmare of time so appalling
in the light of my forgiveness will just disappear.
There is another use of time through which the Christ in me can shine,
a happy dream, gentle and kind, of time.
This moment is the key divine. The chains of guilt it will unbind
and make the gifts of heaven mine. I'll find
my will with God's aligned.
16. MIGHTY WINGS
Have you found the wings of peace
folded in your mind?
Have you spread them out in joy
to rise and soar and shine?
Safe and soft, sweet and strong -
the mighty wings of peace.
Have you found the wings of love?
Within your heart they wait
to lift you out of loneliness
and into God’s embrace.
Safe and soft, sweet and strong -
the mighty wings of love.
Have you found the wings of truth
singing deep within,
a phoenix song that longs to rise
and carry you to Him?
Safe and soft, sweet and strong -
the mighty wings of truth.
Have you seen the angels’ wings
shining all around,
their mercy gently lifting you
to ride love’s soaring sound?
Safe and soft, seet and strong -
the mighty angels’ wings.
Do you know we are bright wings
of light, in Spirit joined?
And as we learn to beat as one,
we fly to heaven home.
Safe and soft, sweet and strong -
the mighty wings of Christ.
17. TEXAS SONG
Flowing, flowing in the light.
Drifting on its gentle tides.
So precious the ones who share the joy,
remembering the truth that we are whole.
Giving the love we have received,
cleansing the mind of pain and grief,
laughing at what we dreamed before.
Joining as one we rise and soar.
Holy is Spirit's use of time.
Peaceful our gatherings of mind,
allowing the truth to heal our sight,
sharing identity as Christ.
Flowing, flowing in the light.
Drifting on its gentle tides.
So precious the ones who share the joy,
remembering the truth that we are whole.
18. THERE IS ONLY LOVE
There is only love, love within and without,
up and down, all around us.
There is only love. Like the air that we breathe,
in and out, it surrounds us.
We can see what we choose to perceive.
We receive what we choose to receive. It’s our power.
Every thought is a seed of desire
and within it lies creation’s fire. It will flower.
There is only love, love that undoes
the nightmares of pain and will free us.
There is only love, love that undoes
our masks with its light and reveals us.
Do not fear what is seen in that light:
only beauty, the image of Christ - what is real.
You’ve been dreaming illusions of sin.
Just let the light of love in. It will heal.
There is only love. This whole world with its
anger and guilt is fear’s making.
There is only love. God is calling
to you: Holy Child, now awaken.
What you dream cannot change what you are.
Your holiness shines like a star in the heavens.
There’s no death, there’s no pain, there’s no time.
What God creates is perfect, divine and forever.
There is only love, love within and without,
up and down, all around us.
There is only love. Like the air that we breathe,
in and out, it surrounds us.
There is only love.
19. SONG OF PRAYER
