VOLUME 4 LYRICS

(In order of play)

 

1. THE CALL

Refrain:  Come with Me, My child, I'm calling you,
forever calling you out of the world.
Let go of fears that have been stalling you
and hear Me calling you to love and serve.

No more delay.  Resist not salvation's way.
So many times you say that you want peace.
Leave behind your trinkets that gleam and shine.
Unburden your holy mind.  From pain be released.
Refrain

Your tired years have been measured in sighs and tears
and yet you allow your fears to imprison your mind.
Just turn to Me and ask Me to set you free.
Learn your identity is still perfect, divine.
Refrain

You have not sinned.  Fear not to turn within
and joyously go to Him Who gave you life.
You have not left your Creator.  There is no death.
Call on the truth.  Be blessed.  In God's love abide.
Refrain

2. WHAT IS IT FOR

What is it for - does it serve the light?
What is it for - does it serve the Christ?
Does it bring me joy, or a stab of pain?
Does it bring me peace, or the fire of hate?
Can I truly say that it comes from God?
What is it for, what is it for, what is it for?

What is it for - does it sing a song
of Heaven’s love?  Will it make me strong?
Is my brother blessed by its gentle light?
Does it help us join, lead us deep inside?
Can I truly say that it comes from God?
What is it for, what is it for, what is it for? 

What is it for?  Will it heal my mind
and teach the truth that I am divine?
Is it Spirit-sent, blessing God’s own Son?
Is the dream of death by its light undone?
Can I truly say that it comes from God?
What is it for, what is it for, what is it for?

3. WE ARE THE SAME

We are the same in holiness. We are the same in holiness.
Our sameness is true and differences are unreal.
We are the same, one child of God. We are the same, one child of God.
Spirit has come that oneness may be revealed.

Refrain: The light of the One shines within us as love.
Differences all are undone in its tender glow.
It shows we’re the same beneath illusions of pain.
When our union we claim, to heaven we go.

We are the same, not separate. We are the same, not separate.
Safe in God’s Mind, we dream of a world of forms.
Nothing to fear, just images. Nothing to fear, just images.
Death is not real, no reason to weep and mourn.
Ref rain

No need to make comparisons. No need to make comparisons.
They lead to guilt, and guilt paints the world in fear.
Join with me now, one holy mind. Join with me now, one holy mind,
joyous our peace, remembering our home so dear.

The light of the One shines within us as love.
Differences all are undone in its tender glow.
It shows we’re the same beneath illusions of pain.
When our union we claim, to heaven we go.

4. SING ME AWAKE

Sing me awake.  Sing me the light.
Sing me to heaven, where my true Self abides.
Undo the dark with a sweet lullaby.
Sing me awake in the light.

Open my eyes and open my heart,
to know that from God I have not gone apart.
Undo the fear with a song of God's love.
Sing me awake in the One.

Sing me the truth that will set my mind free,
restored to union, from suffering released.
Undo the guilt for the sins that were not.
Sing me awake in God's thoughts.

Sing me the peace that will shine from my mind,
born of my holiness pure and divine.
Undo the world I have made out of lies.
Sing me awake in the Christ.

I will sing you awake.  I will sing you the light.
I will sing you to heaven, where our true Self abides.
I’ll undo the dark with a sweet lullaby.
I’ll sing you awake in the light.

I will open your eyes and open your heart,
to know that from God we have not gone apart.
I’ll undo the fear with a song of God's love.
I will sing you awake in the One.

I will sing you the truth that will set your mind free,
restored to union, from suffering released.
I’ll undo the guilt for the sins that were not.
I’ll sing you awake in God's thoughts.

I will sing you the peace that will shine from your mind,
born of our holiness pure and divine.
I’ll undo the world we have made out of lies.
I’ll sing you awake in the Christ.

5. GOD IS

I'm a child of the IS - Gee whiz! I live in God's IS-ness.
I'm a child of the IS - Gee whiz! The I AM - that's me.
I suddenly see that the ego's unreal and IS-less.
It was not and is not and could never possibly be.

Refrain God IS my Source. Only God IS, and of course
because love is  all there is, Love is me.

I'm a child of the One - His Son, of purest perfection.
I'm a child of the One - His Son, at home in His Mind.
How could I have thought that God could be chopped into sections,
that the infinite could be imprisoned by form and by time.
Refrain

I'm a child of God's light, His Christ, joyous and holy.
I'm a child of God's light, His Christ, filled with His peace.
I fell into a dream where I seemed to be little and lowly.
But now from its nightmare of guilt my mind's been released.
Refrain

I'm a child of God's joy - oh boy! There's no need for suffering.
I'm a child of God's joy - oh boy! So happy am I.
My illusions of pain, of fear, guilt and shame were all nothing.
Only truth can be true and within its sweet light I'll abide.

So I’m singing God IS my Source. Only God IS, and of course
because love is  all there is, Love is me.

6. COME DOWN FROM THE CROSS

Come down, come down, come down from the cross.
There is no sin and your soul is not lost.
You have been dreaming a world of sad thoughts.
Come down, come down from the cross.

You have been dreaming a world of sad thoughts.
Come down, come down from the cross.

Pull out the nails from your hands and your feet.
There is no death that can ever defeat
a mind that's so holy, united with God's.
Come down, come down from the cross.

Your mind is so holy, united with God's:
Come down, come down from the cross.

Throw off your thorns.  Here are lilies of light
to honor all minds that are one in the Christ.
You've been mistaken, but it has no cost.
Come down, come down from the cross.

You've been mistaken, but it has no cost.
Come down, come down from the cross.

Gladly go forth now and sing a joy song.
The nightmare is over and you did no wrong.
Tell all our brothers as you journey on:
Come down, come down from the cross.

Tell all our brothers as you journey on:
Come down, come down from the cross.

 7. SATURDAY SONG

Boulder of guilt, be rolled away.
Here in this tomb, I would not stay.
I hear the Voice of Spirit say:

"Pebble of guilt, be rolled away."

Boulder of fear, you are not real.
As I forgive, I break the seal. 
By love the truth will be revealed:

Pebble of fear, you are not real.

Boulder of hate, may light undo
the idol so dark I made of you.
In peace I will rise and live anew.

This pebble of hate cannot be true.

Boulder of lack and scarcity,
floating away on winds of peace.
I will rejoice and laugh with glee

at pebbles of lack and scarcity.

Boulder of time that shut me in
to relive a past of shame and sin,
I join in the song of Now love brings

and pebbles of time can't keep me in.

Boulder of death, I would be free
to live in God's love eternally.
Looking with eyes of Christ, I'll see

from pebbles of death I've been set free.

Boulder of form, you've been undone.
Nothing can limit God's own Son.
Dissolved by the Great Rays of the One,

all pebbles of form must be undone.

 8. I SURRENDER

I surrender to flowers. I yield to their peace.
I surrender to hours of blissful release.
I give in to happiness that fills me with light.
My heart yields to Your caress, Your love for Your child.
I surrender, I surrender, I surrender to You.

I surrender to blessings that fall down like rain.
I surrender to healing that undoes my pain.
I accept Your tenderness, enfolding Your Christ.
My mind yields to Your caress, Your love for Your child.
I surrender, I surrender, I surrender to You.

I bow to Your presence that shines in each one.
I feel the sweet essence  of You in each one.
I receive their holiness and take it inside.
My soul yields to Your caress, Your love for Your child.
I surrender, I surrender, I surrender to You.

9. QUIETNESS

Refrain: Quietness, come to the quietness.
Lay down your cares.  Be blessed, from doing released.
Quietness, come to the quietness.
Allow your mind to rest here in God's peace.

The truth you'll find deep in the quiet mind
free from illusion’s lies of pain, guilt and fear.
Turn within, surrender and join with Him
in quiet remembering of His Love so dear.
Refrain

The world you see is a dream of insanity,
where you seem to be so little, alone.
The quiet heals, reminds you of what is real,
transforming your dreams to be reflections of Home

Quietness, come to the quietness.
Lay down your cares.  Be blessed, from doing released.
Quietness, come to the quietness.
Allow your mind to rest here in God's peace.

In your smile, I know I'm not alone.
In your heart I feel whole and safe and free.
In your soul I find the best of me.

Hearts gazing, amazing treasures we find.

Christ in us, light in us, as one we shine.

I can trust your kind intent.
I can hear that you truly are my friend.
Joined in love, we recall eternity.
In this now, you can find the best of me.

Hearts gazing, amazing treasures we find.
Christ in us, light in us, as one we shine.

In my eyes, be at home.
In my smile, my friend, you never are alone.
In my heart you are whole and safe and free.
In my soul you are the holy best of me.

Hearts gazing, amazing treasures we find.
Christ in us, light in us, as one we shine.

In your eyes, I come home.
In your smile, I know I'm not alone.
In your heart I feel whole and safe and free.
In your soul I find the best of me.

11. JESUS’ SONG

I have come to comfort you and be your loving friend,
to take your hand and walk with you and lead you home again,
and help you to remember how beautiful you are,
so filled with light and shining, as lovely as a star.

I will be a mirror reflecting all your good,
and there is nothing else to see; I want that understood.
Your jagged dreams of suffering like shadows all are gone.
The lonely night is over. As one we greet the dawn.

I will be your beating heart so filled with love for all.
I'll be your sweet compassion that answers every call.
And I will be your power to change the world you see
from separateness and sadness to joy and unity.

And I will be your power to change the world you see
from separateness and sadness to joy and unity.

 12. A NEW HEART

I have a new heart, filled with a passion to love. 
I have a new heart.  The past is gone.  I forgive. 
My new heart’s beating a joyous rhythm of life. 
A holy feeling: the power and presence of Christ,
my heart filled with light.

I have a new dream, a dream that’s gentle and kind. 
I have a new dream, in which I’m safe in God’s Mind. 
A dream of freeing from limitations of old;
a dream of being serene and holy and whole,
expressing beauty of soul.

A spirit so loving, resilient, giving and strong
shines from my new heart and sings a confident song. 
I claim the real world and all its possibilities. 
I claim the treasure that God has placed inside of me;
now I’m going to set love free, for

I have a new heart, filled with a passion to love.

My new heart’s beating a joyous rhythm of life. 
A holy feeling: the power and presence of Christ,
my heart filled with light.  I have a new heart.

 13. I AM

I AM love, a loving mind. I AM giving, happy, whole and kind.
I AM peace, serene and free. I AM still as God created me.
I AM the dreamer of the dream in which I seemed to go apart.
Through Holy Spirit, the truth I've seen: I live forever in God's Heart.

I AM joy. I AM real. I AM strong and honest, gentle, healed.
I AM Now, free of time. I AM forever safe within God's Mind.
Child of Spirit, child of Light, never have I left my home.
Holy, changeless, I AM Christ. I claim perfection as my own.

I AM worthy.  I AM whole. Living in the Light's my only goal.
I AM trusting in God's Love, resting in the cradle of the One.
Spirit guides my every step. There is nothing else to seek.
God has willed my happiness in this sweet reality.

I AM peace, serene and free. I AM still as God created me. I AM

 

14. FATHER, MY FATHER

Father, my Father, dear Source of my life,
I come to the silence, surrender to light.
Gather me into Your heavenly peace.
Hold me, enfold me in union so sweet.

Father, my Father, bless now Your son.
Into Your presence so holy I've come.
Help me remember Your Name is my own.
Hold me, enfold me in my heaven home.

Father, my Father, I love only You,
for in You lives all that is shining and true.
Sing to me, Father, sweet hymns of the light.
Hold me, enfold me in music of Christ.

Father, my Father, Your Voice is so dear,
speaking in stillness the words I would hear
that guide me through dreaming to gently awake,
that hold me, enfold me in heavenly grace.

Father, my Father, dear Source of my life,
I come to the silence, surrender to light.
Gather me into Your heavenly peace.
Hold me, enfold me in union so sweet.

15. GATHER ME HOME

Refrain:  Gather me up.  Gather me in.
Gather me under Your radiant wings.
Gather my pieces that I may feel whole.
O loving Spirit, gather me home.

I seemed to be broken like pieces of glass
in tiny mortal fragments that don't last.
Each one reflecting sharp edges of grief,
each one expecting a life painful and brief.
Refrain

The longing for union is filling my heart,
desire tor joining with each lovely part.
Undo all my judgments.  Let me see all the same.
Help me remember we are one in Your Name.
Refrain

Each sister and brother is part of the Christ,
the only Child of God, a single Light.
The Child is dreaming.  The mind is asleep.
Restore it to union.  Restore it to peace

Gather me up.  Gather me in.
Gather me under Your radiant wings.
Gather my pieces that I may feel whole.
O loving Spirit, gather me home.

16. CHILD OF PEACE

River flowing silently carries every care from me
and like the Spirit wide and deep, it sings to me of peace:

Peace requires letting go,
letting be and letting flow.
In the flowing, always home,
you’ll be a child of peace.
Child of peace, child of peace.
In the flowing, always home,
you’ll be a child of peace.

Sunlight warm upon my face in this quiet time and place
tells me that I live in grace and sings to me of peace:

Peace will shine forth from your eyes
like the sun shines in the sky
if you’ll waken to the Christ
and be a child of peace.
Child of peace, child of peace,
if you’ll waken to the Christ
and be a child of peace.

Gentle wind is blowing now, stirring grass and trees and clouds,
blows away my fear and doubt and sings to me of peace: 

Holy Spirit  in your mind
whispers of your Self divine.
Chains of pain and guilt unbind
and be a child of peace.
Child of peace, child of peace.
Chains of pain and guilt unbind
and be a child of peace.

I meditate and go within. The grip of fear is loosening,
my holy mind awakening and singing of God’s peace:

My peace belongs to everyone
that dreams of suffering be undone.
Go sing to all and bid them come
to be My child of peace.
Child of peace.  Child of peace.
Go sing to all and bid them come
to be My child of peace.

17. COME, DAY

Come, day.  Come, light.  Undo this night. Come flower in the east.
Come, sun.  Come, shine of light divine, new day of holy peace.
Release from fear all children here who think they are apart.
Let love arise in all our minds and joy rise in our hearts.

Come, day. Come, light of freedom bright, a day so fresh and new.
Come, light of faith and light of grace, the dawning of the truth.
In God we’re one, Love’s holy Son. We’re ever safe and free.
Let light reveal and gently heal the suffering we’ve dreamed.

Come, day. Come, light. Undo this night. Come flower in the east.
Come, sun. Come, shine of light divine, new day of holy peace.

 18. FAMILY

They're the ones I depend on when I need some help,
helping me do what I can't do myself.
They set no limits on what I am worth.
They make it joyful to live in this earth.
They support me and bless me and call me their own,
and help me remember the Brightness of Home.

Refrain:  Family, family, holy and whole is my family.
Kindness and love are the sweet ties that bind
the family that lives in the Mind.

No one's excluded, and everyone's kin
in the arms of forgiveness, the Spirit within.
Mothers and fathers and daughters and sons,
brothers and sisters: we're all of us one,
not bodies, not separate with no one to care,
but joined as the Child of one Parent we share.
Refrain

My brother, come home now, there's no joy out there.
Throw off the mask of the stranger you wear.
Join with me, sing with me, praises of God.
Share with me, love with me, laugh at the thought
that the One could be broken, the Whole could be part,
that anything can be outside of God's heart.

Family, family, holy and whole is my family.
Kindness and love are the sweet ties that bind
the family that lives in the Mind.

19. VIBRATIONS OF LOVE

Vibrations of love, softer than light
quietly heal confusion of mind.
Vibrations of love singing of Christ
gently reveal a world beyond time.

Here in God's heart, child, be at peace.
Here in God's arms, rest and be free.

Vibrations of love tenderly call:
Child, turn within, away from the false.
Within is the light, your true Self that shines,
holy and whole, perfect, divine.

Here in God's heart, child, be at peace.
Here in God's arms, rest and be free.

Vibrations of love shimmer with joy,
caressing my mind with Spirit's still Voice.
Speaking of Christ, they call me their own,
enfold me in light, sing of my home:

Here in God's heart, child, be at peace.
Here in God's arms, rest and be free.

Vibrations of love, soft in my mind,
show me a world that is loving and kind.
My brothers I see forgiven and dear.
Whenever they speak, these words I hear:

Here in God's heart, come be at peace.
Here in God's arms, we rest and are free.

20. TURNING, TURNING

Turning, turning to the light that is the peace of God. 
Learning, learning we are Christ, for truth was never lost.

Refrain: Holy light, shines so bright, undoes the dark of pain.
Light of truth in me and you will take us home again.

Flowing, flowing in the now, the past and future gone.
Growing, growing is the sound of God’s eternal song.
Refrain

Giving, giving all we are to keep it safe within.
Living, living in God’s arms to know we’re one with Him.
Refrain

Laughing, laughing at the thoughts of bodies, death and time.
Passing, passing, all that’s not, wiped from our holy Mind.

Holy light, shines so bright, undoes the dark of pain.
Light of truth in me and you will take us home again.

21. GETHSEMANE PRAYER (MUSIC OF CHRIST)

O Father, I love them, Your daughters and sons. 
Their dream world I leave now, for my work’s just begun. 
From Spirit I’ll call them to know we are one,
to awaken from dreams and remember the love.

They are flowers not blooming and stars that don’t shine. 
They bow down to idols and mock the divine. 
Their hearts know not peace and their minds are asleep. 
Yet I see their true beauty and goodness, and weep.

They are eagles in cages.  They are deer without legs. 
They are lakes without water.  They are princes who beg. 
They are gods who’ve forgotten their power to create. 
They wander in darkness and call it the day.

My brothers, my sisters, my children, my all,
deep in your souls can you hear my love call? 
Awaken, little children, remember the light. 
Rise up now and dance to the music of Christ.

I forgive them, dear Father.  They know not what they do,
yet in time they’ll make union with me and with You. 
We’ll send them our Spirit to comfort and guide
and teach them to sing to the music of Christ.

O Father, I love them, Your daughters and sons. 
Their dream world I leave now, for my work’s just begun. 
From Spirit I’ll call them to know we are one,
to awaken from dreams and remember the love.
