VOLUME 11 LYRICS
(In order of play)
1. BROTHER MIND
Brother mind, brother light,
brother spirit, brother Christ,
I am calling, ever calling through the dark.
Beyond the body, beyond the breath,
beyond the thoughts we made of death,
hear me calling, ever calling in your heart.
We are one. We are whole.
Heaven's peace is our home,
and a dream cannot change what we are.
We are holy.We are divine,
beyond form and beyond time.
As we join in this remembrance we are healed.
Brother mind, brother light,
brother spirit, brother Christ,
I am shining, ever shining through the dark.
Beyond the fragments of despair
in a world that isn't there,
see me shining, ever shining in your heart.
We live eternally in God,
extensions of His perfect love,
ever joyous, ever peaceful, ever safe.
A dream of littleness and sin
is all that hides the truth within.
By our joining we can shine it away.
Brother mind, brother light,
brother spirit, brother Christ,
I am singing, gently singing in your dream.
Beyond this song, beyond all words,
in the silence I am heard.
Brother mind, brother Christ, sing with me.
2. REAL WORLD RISING
Real world calling, Child, come home.
Cross the bridge where you are known.
In this holy state of mind,
there is only peace to find.
Enter through the door of now.
Gently Spirit shows you how.
Real world rising, nightmares gone.
Love in all I look upon.
Heaven opens, welcomes me.
What was broken now is healed.
Peace beside, ahead, behind.
Gentle stillness in my mind.
Real world rising in my heart,
ending dreams of worlds apart.
Take my hand and walk with me
in this land of holy peace.
Light that’s shared by me and you
brings the real world into view.
Real world shining in your eyes
leads my soul to realize
we are Christ, forever one.
By our light dreams are undone.
Joined together in one mind,
our eternal spirit shines
with love.
3. EVERYONE WANTS TO GO HOME
Everyone wants to go Home.
Everyone wants to go Home.
Out of the night, home to the light.
Everyone wants to go Home.
The saints and the sinners, the sick and the well,
beneath the appearances, all know of hell.
But deep in each heart, there lives a small spark
reminding us gently of Home.
Everyone longs to be loved.
Everyone longs to be loved.
Innocent still, free of the guilt.
Everyone longs to be loved.
No matter how handsome or ugly the face,
the mind that feels separate is filled with self-hate.
But deep in the soul a small glimmer of Home
awakens the remembrance of love.
Everyone yearns to be free.
Everyone yearns to be free.
Free of the pain, the sin, fear and shame.
Everyone yearns to be free.
Each self seems imprisoned in flesh that will die.
Each lonely life is a nightmare of lies.
But deep in the mind, a memory shines
of our Home where we’re safe, loved and free.
4. LOVE WALKS IN SUNLIGHT
Love walks in sunlight, its eyes open wide,
sincere and true the welcome in Its happy smile.
Love walks in sunlight, with nothing to hide.
Come, walk with Love at your side.
Refrain:
Bring the darkness to the light,
every fearful thought you've kept.
Bring the darkness to the light,
your dreams of sin and death.
Love has no secrets, held fearfully within.
Love is not a body, no treasure house of sin.
Christ has only blessings He lays on everything.
Come, bring your secrets to Him.
Refrain
Love has no problems, no brothers that it blames.
The light of Its forgiveness will shine away your shame.
Your hidden thoughts are hurting you, but you can choose again.
The light of Love undoes your hidden pain.
Refrain
5. LOOK AT YOU

In your eyes, what a heavenly view:
I see mercy, tenderness, laughter and peace,
reflections of gentleness, a mind that is healed;
forgiveness, a witness to love that is true.
When I look at you, I see Christ shining through.
Look at you. Look at you.
I see Spirit in all that you do:
Your kindness, helpfulness, honesty, trust;
the light in your smile and the warmth in your hugs;
forgiveness, your witness to love that is true.
When I look at you, I see Christ shining through.
Look at you. What a sight!
The peace in your mind is a light
that undoes my nightmares of sin, guilt and shame.
It shines away shadows of sickness and pain.
In joining we witness to all that is true in me and you:
that’s the Christ shining through.

When you welcome a stranger and invite him to rest,

I am there too. Let Me be your guide.
I'll show you the way and what you should say
to undo the stranger in you.

I'll show you the path to lead your mind back
to the truth: that the other is you.

that you used for rejection of you.

When you come to the Father, and His anger you fear,
remember you are His Son He ever holds dear.
Let go of fear and open your heart
to the gift of Atonement: You've not gone apart!
You are God's wealth, one radiant Self He can't lose,
for His wholeness is you.

8. ABIDE, ABIDE
Abide, abide in Me. I am the holy vine.
Apart from Me the branch is bare.
Apart from Love you die.
Let My words abide in thee.
Let forgiveness set you free.
Let Me lift you to the home that's ours eternally.
Abide, abide in me. O Lord, dwell in my heart.
I'll be Your voice, Your heart, Your hands.
There is no life apart.
Jesus, You have called Your own.
Let my spirit be Your home.
Fill me with Your loving word to minister and serve.
Abide, abide in Me, all brothers in the Christ.
Awaken now and follow Me
upon My path of Light.
This world of darkness is not real.
Walk with Me and help me heal
all sleeping minds that dream of death.
Let our love gently bless.
Abide, abide in me and be my eyes to see
the beauty and the innocence
in everyone I meet.
Give me thoughts to comfort them.
Be the light that draws them in.
Mantle us with holy peace
and give us love's release.
9. THIS NEED NOT BE
This need not be, your troubled mind.
To God’s dear child, be not unkind.
The body self that you have made
has done no wrong, deserves not hate.
When you are sad and filled with guilt,
remember God Who loves you still.
His sleeping child but dreams of sin.
Let Spirit heal your suffering.
This need not be. This need not be.
What is not love — this need not be.
This need not be, the pain and tears
repeated over and over through the years.
Depression comes when one’s deprived,
but joy or lack you do decide.
When you feel hurt, angry or lost,
you have not heard the Voice for God.
But listen now and choose again.
Your self-inflicted pain can end.
It need not be. It need not be.
What is not love — this need not be.
Your spirit shines with holiness.
God’s light in you was meant to bless.
You and your brothers are but one,
created whole and only love.
Do not attack what God creates
with thoughts of judgment, fear and hate.
As a pure altar tend your mind,
with radiant thoughts born of the Christ,
and you’ll be free. You will be free.
What is not love — this need not be.
10. RISE, CHILDREN, RISE!
Rise, children rise. Awaken from your dreams.
Rise, children, rise. This world's not what it seems.
The light comes; the night's done.
It's time to rise and shine.
Rise, children, rise. Embrace your Self divine.
Laugh, children laugh at dreams of guilt and pain.
Laugh, children, laugh at nightmares so insane.
Rejoice as God's Voice
calls to His dear Son:
Laugh, children, laugh. The past has been undone.
Dance, children dance to Spirit's happy song.
Dance, children, dance. In Heaven you belong.
Let God move you, love through you
everywhere you go.
Dance, children, dance to music of the soul.
Live, children, live a life that shines with Christ.
Live, children live. In God's sweet grace abide.
With Love's vision forgiving
all that is not real,
live, children, live to comfort, bless and heal.
Love, children, love each person that you meet.
Love, children, love. Only their goodness see.
With compassion unfasten
chains of guilt that bind.
Love, children, love and learn you share one mind.

The shining love of God within
has washed the mind of guilt and sin.
So softly glows this pristine light
upon the altar-heart of Christ.

their hymns of joy and thanks to Him
whose Love is all, Whose Love is one,
one radiant Self, Father and Son
in shining love, in shining love,
in shining love, in shining love.

our brothers from their painful dreams.

A song of comfort to us sing.

give us the wisdom to create,
heal and teach, illuminate.

13. BROTHER ON THE ROAD
The light has come to open my eyes.
The light has come, and I realize
that you are here and ever have been.
There is no world, no tomb of sin.
You walk with me, as you always have done.
You talk with me and say I'm God's Son,
who dreamed of a world that never was,
a world of fear that could have no cause.
You smile at me and brush away tears
that I shed for You, my Savior so dear.
My mind was lost in pain and despair.
Now I see death never was there.
Sweet laughter now arises in me.
What foolishness, this world I believed!
I take Your hand and travel in joy
the lighted way that flows from Your Voice.
My brothers, see, this One did not die.
We dreamed the nails. The cross was a lie.
Come join with us to spread the good news:
Our innocence we never can lose.
The light has come to open my eyes.
the light has come and I realize
You are here and ever have been.
You are here in the heaven within.
14. LOVE HOLDS MY HAND
Love holds my hand as I travel through this life.
Love holds my hand like a mother with a child.
And when my path seems lost and darkened by the storm,
still I feel the gentle warmth
of Love holding my hand.
Love calls my name and reminds me it is Christ.
Love calls my name in pure syllables of light.
And when my days are a jangled roar of noise,
still I hear the gentle voice
of Love calling my name.
Love sings a song in the deep and loveless dark.
Love sings its song in the stillness of my heart.
And when I long for just a glimpse of heaven home
in the silence of my soul,
I can hear Love's gentle song.
Love shines a light that is radiant and kind.
Love shines a light that illuminates my mind.
And in the sight of every holy brother's face
I behold the gentle grace
of Love's sweet shining light.
15. SOUL SONG
I sing of my soul life more fragrant than lilies.
No rose ever will be as lovely or sweet.
Blooming, unfolding its moments like petals,
so perfectly gentle, the God-life in me.
Spirit divine lives in my mind.
Spirit of Christ, enfolding in light.
I sing of my soul light as soft as a flower
but shining with power, a brilliant white star.
Blessing, undoing the dream of fear's making,
it tenderly wakens and undoes the dark.
Spirit divine shines in my mind.
Spirit of Christ, radiant light.
I sing of my soul love that flows like a river
from its source of forgiveness to comfort and heal.
It embraces all brothers with laughter and music.
No heart can refuse it, the truth it reveals.
Spirit divine springs from my mind.
Spirit of Christ, love song of light.
I sing of my soul joy, a glad hymn of angels
praising the changeless perfection of God.
In gratitude soaring, to heaven it rises.
Then heaven replies with the peace I have sought.
Spirit divine, sings in my mind.
Spirit of Christ answers with light.
