1. The Winter’s had us all wrapped up in blankets, you know,
Swaddled from the snow and dark and cold.
We kick ’em off and celebrate the Springtime and flow,
Uncovering our Spirit bright and bold!
Refrain:
2. And all of those emotions we’ve been hiding? You know,
They’re covered up but cannot be denied.
They’ll tear a hole in every single layer and flow,
Until we let them see the Light inside!
Refrain:
3. The thoughts we think are habits long established, you know,
The blanket statements thrown across our mind.
It’s time to give the upper room a cleansing and flow
To thinking of the great, inspired kind!
Refrain: (Twice)
Refrain:
So, let us kick off our blankets;
We don’t need their shelter now!
The Light within emerges
As we let It show us how.
The Spirit is our Comforter,
As gentle as a cloud.
So, let’s kick off our blankets;
We don’t need their shelter now!

1. The brilliant stars across the sky
Have shone since ancient days
To wish, protect, and to direct
And light the path we take.
Refrain:
2. Their tender tales and story-songs
Reflect the depths of time
And help to show the lives that flow
Within Eternal Mind.
Refrain:
3. For we are stars of ancient days
That travel through the sky
And shimmer long as we go on
The Spirit’s path of life.

O may we

Shine, shine, o stars of night,
Sparks of God’s wondrous Light,

1. I was born in the silence,
Just another day to most.
But I was born in a crashing din
To the ones that held me close.
Refrain:
2. Oh to sleep like a baby
In a world of loving kind.
But many fight when the night is dark,
In a restless state of mind.
Refrain:
3. Some believe in each other
And encourage all they do.
Others try to stop different
Expressions of the Truth.
Refrain:
Either way we leave a mark
With our sound or silence choice.
Refrain:
O from the silence and the sound,
Some effect will come around.
Any time and any place,
We all have a choice to make.
We can be a gentle spark
Or a yelling, jarring voice.
Either way we leave a mark
With our sound or silence choice.
In setting your intentions and goals for 2016, may they be God-sent and God-guided! And may your life song:
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
–Psalm 100 (KJV)
What You Write in Your Song – Lyrics
Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar
1. We feel things,
And we’re not afraid to show them.
We let ourselves expose them
In hopes of being freed.
But real things,
They still remain inside us
And always do provide us
With what we truly need.
Refrain:
2. We think things,
And we speak our own opinions.
We try to have dominion
And make everyone agree.
But in sync things,
By the Light of all creation,
We are one eternal nation,
Under God, the King of kings.
Refrain: (Twice)
Refrain:
And your legacy lives on
With each note in your song.
And when you’re laid to rest,
The words that you express
Keep sounding like a ripple or a gong.
So be aware what you write in your song.
Be aware what you write in your song.
“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
–John 15:11 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. Happiness is flowing, flowing.
Blink! And now it’s going, going.
Look inside you, knowing, knowing
All the joy of Life
This world cannot provide.
It’s in the Light of Christ!
Refrain:
2. Feelings are a picture, a picture.
Oops! But not a fixture, fixture.
Find beyond the mixture, mixture
All the joy of Life
This world cannot provide.
It’s in the Light of Christ!
Refrain:
3. Experience is charming, charming.
Boom! And so alarming, alarming
When you think it’s harming, harming
All the joy of Life
This world cannot provide.
It’s in the Light of Christ!
Refrain: (Twice)
Refrain:
Christ is come, born in you,
That you may have joy,
Joy complete and full!

Scriptures for Meditation

Saved! – Lyrics
Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar
1. Some believe that Jesus died
To save us from our sins.
But it wasn’t the man,
And that wasn’t the plan,
‘Cause the Savior’s already within!
And we’re

2. Jesus taught the crowd to pray,
The Father’s kingdom come.
And in all that he showed,
The Love of God flowed,
Because he and the Father were one!
And we’re

But one who knew his place.
We’re equal to him
And the kingdom within,
‘Cause our Father is one and the same!
So we’re

Saved from a sense of separation
By the Truth of all creation
In the Light of realization, we’re

1. Clicking, clacking, going places.
Ticking, tracking, timing races.
Slipping, slacking, losing paces.
Mind that train of thought.
2. Clicking, clacking, mind a-spinning.
Ticking, tracking, time’s a-winning.
Slipping, slacking, patience thinning.
Mind that train of thought, hmmm, mind that train of thought.
*Refrain:
That we may chug, chug, chug
With the love, love, love
Of God, the engineer.
And we may ride, ride, ride
With His peace inside,
On the train of life He steers.
Because no matter what
Our lives have brought,
We cannot be derailed.
We are conducted on
God’s train of thought
By love that never fails.
3. Clicking, clacking, ever burning.
Ticking, tracking, all a-churning.
Slipping, slacking, o the yearning!
Mind that train of thought, hmmm, mind that train of thought.
4. Clicking, clacking, pressure growing.
Ticking, tracking, changes blowing.
Slipping, slacking, letting go and
Mind that train of thought, hmmm, mind that train of thought.
*Refrain:
And we may chug, chug, chug
With the love, love, love
Of God, our engineer.
And we may ride, ride, ride
With His peace inside,
On the train of life He steers.

Our lives have brought,
We cannot be derailed.
We are conducted on
God’s train of thought
By love that never fails.

Refrain:
[After all,] we’re still here, so pass the cheer!
And leave that glass of fear behind!
Come on, get up, and fill that cup
With Love, the sweetest wine of life!
1. We can be sad, complain, and spread the pain,
But no one wants to know.
It’s all because they’re just like us
And rather Spirit’s flow!

2. Whatever hurt and doubt we’re pouring out
Ferments and rots, you see.
The fruit of Life is Love and Light,
So let it blossom free!

With what the Spirit brews!
So lift your glass, this too shall pass,
And quench your thirst with Truth!
Refrain: (Twice)
Come on, get up, and fill your cup
With Love, the Spirit’s wine of life!
