Lotus grows in mud
Hope and light bloom from darkness
Let us do the same!
Lotus grows in mud
Hope and light bloom from darkness
Let us do the same!
Right now I’m ok.
This is all I really have,
Choice of pain or peace.
Today has been a letdown,
But it’s over! Thank you, Lord!
I pray tomorrow’s better
And my patience will endure.
I pray that when the morning sunlight
Kisses grass and trees,
It sends your peace and hope and love
Shining down on me!
And when tomorrow’s ended
As the gentle night begins,
I pray, whatever happens,
Help me turn to you within!
Amen.
When we rise
Do we realize?
Or is it just a new normal?
When we become enlightened,
Does the Light dawn?
Or is it simply another day?
When our knowledge yields to Truth,
Do we really know?
Or do we take it for granted?
When belief turns to awareness,
Do we awaken?
Or are we intimidated by its power?
O let us awaken!
Let us know beyond thought!
And let the Light dawn
As we realize
When we rise!

Charles Wesley’s well-known hymn is based on an older Bohemian hymn, whose author is unknown. The version we know today was written by Wesley, co-founder of the Methodist movement, in 1739. The original Bohemian title was “Jesus Christ is Risen Today,” while Wesley’s title was “Hymn for Easter Day.” More recently, it’s most often known by its first line, “Christ the Lord is Risen Today.”
Enjoy this lovely hymn, played on lyre, and have a blessed and happy Easter!
Healing comes softly
Unity is found in love
Giving strength and grace
Ego crucified
The cross between earth and sky
Paradise awaits!
Jesus prayed,
“Let this cup pass from me.”
We pray the same.
His answer came.
The cup would not pass
Until He saw it through.
If this is our answer,
Thy will be done
As You guide us through, we pray.
Amen.
Where is the lamp that’s burning bright?
Where is the tunnel’s ending light?
Where is the comfort lifting fright?
Always deep inside!
Where is the Voice that’s speaking peace?
Where is the hope that brings relief?
Where’s the supply that meets my needs?
Always deep inside!
Where is the bird that sings in flight?
Where is the dawn that breaks the night?
Where is my purpose good and right?
Always deep inside!
Love is there when out of sight!
Peace and comfort, hope and Light!
Coming home, I need not fight
Always deep inside!
Nature continues
While seasons and crises pass.
We move onward too.
