New Testament Quotations
from New American Standard Bible (NASB)
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
–John 1:14
Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
–Matthew 5:16
When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES.”
–Matthew 8:16-17
Carried Away – Lyrics
Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar
Refrain:
Carried away, carried away!
Bondage and sickness are carried away!
1. Christ is the vessel of one perfect Word,
Speaking away every feeling of hurt;
So we may glorify God and His work,
Sickness is carried away!
Refrain:
2. Christ is the only begotten from God,
Showing compassion in deed and in thought;
So we may know every blessing He brought,
Sickness is carried away!
Refrain:
3. Christ is the vessel that carries us through,
Offering solace for me and for you;
So we may seek Him and live in the truth,
Sickness is carried away!
Refrain: (Twice)
The reign of our food
is clouded with foes.
I won’t dig into
the cons and cheap pros
or theories that spread
like diseases and woes.
Just one simple question:
Do we care to know
and feed ourselves fully,
so good things may grow?

1. Sitting on the porch I feel a breeze;
it lifts the heavy burdens from my mind.
Tender as a child, reminding me to smile,
And only a whisper will do.
Only a whisper will do.
Refrain:
2. The sounds of life compete throughout the day,
And booming thoughts take over in the night.
The Spirit soft and low, urges “be still and know,”
And only a whisper will do.
Only a whisper will do.
Refrain:
3. We can make a difference in this life
And come to know the sweetness of the soul.
When we think and speak in peace, we can feel the love increase,
And only a whisper will do.
Only a whisper will do.
Refrain: (Twice)
The Holy Spirit’s whisper will do.
Refrain:
Love is strong enough
And powerful enough; so
Only a whisper will do.
Sometimes I want to go visit the Queen-
A shadow of brighter days.
I realize my life is much more than it seems,
And try to reclaim the ways
That I Am the Queen of my destiny
And Fate is a Choice I make!

1. Sing the song of love and light!
It gives your Spirit power and might
And takes away the fight or flight.
Sing the song of love and light!
Refrain:
2. Sing the song of hope and care!
It spreads compassion everywhere
And makes the burdens less to bear.
Sing the song of hope and care!
Refrain:
3. Sing the song of sweet release!
It calms the mind and gives you peace
And tells the rushing winds to cease.
Sing the song of sweet release!
Refrain:
Refrain:
The One-in-All-is-singing song,
The music of the heav’nly throng
We come to earth to pass along
The One-in-All-is-singing song!
If only those with feathers fly,
Then why do airplanes cross the sky?
And why are kites allowed to soar?
There must be something… so much… more!
If only those with wings take flight,
Then why do stars shoot through the night?
And why are minds allowed to probe?
There must be more… we can behold!
If only those with feathers lift,
Then why the heart with tender wish?
And why the prayer without a word?
There’s always More… The soul is heard!
I changed my guitar strings today. It wasn’t “time.” I mean, they weren’t dull-sounding, frayed, rusted, or going out of tune. In fact, they sounded great! But they felt like barbed wire cutting into my fingers! Just because someone recommends something, doesn’t mean it will work just as well for me. So I swapped them for my favorite, softer, silk-wrapped strings. They still sound great, even with a little less volume. But the experience is much better. You see, the more strings change, the more they play the same.
spiral in and out
seasons, relationships, life
constant as they change

Written for the last-for-now Haibun Monday prompt at dVerse.
When I started these lyrics in 2011, they contained the verses of Remember (The LOA Song).
There they stayed, and I often use that song in concerts and workshops based on the Law of Attraction.
The verses heard here were written in 2012, and the third verse and music just this week. Even a song goes on a journey! So how much more do we! May your journey be one of constant opening!
Opening – Lyrics
Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele
1. Your experience now
Was created before.
Your thinking and feeling
Have only brought more.
A new understanding
Can even the score
And let in the life
You deserve and adore!
So
Refrain:
2. By changing the inside,
Improve what you get.
Enjoy what you have,
And let go of the rest.
The Universe carries you
Every step,
Supplying your needs.
So have faith! You are blessed!
And
Refrain:
3. Your thinking and feeling
Are not all there is.
A Power much higher
Inspires your bliss.
In every detail
You believe is amiss,
Hear Love softly calling you
Deeper than this!
And
Refrain:
So sweet,
Like the butterfly you find release.
Refrain:
Reach within yourself and feel the opening, contented,
The broken wing, now mended.
Soar in harmony and peace!
As deep within yourself you feel the lightening, astounding,
The brightening, surrounding,
And like the butterfly you find release.
