Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele
Recorded outside – listen for the birds!

Open up your ears and listen
To the Spirit you’ve been missin’.
Find a little happiness in
Someone else’s song!

God gave us ears to hear
The music of His band.
All creatures are His instruments
And played by His own hand.
Just

Open up your ears and listen
To the Spirit you’ve been missin’.
And find a little bit o’ happiness in
Someone else’s song!

God gave us hearts to feel
The beauty of His touch.
We tune them up to boundless Love
And never take too much!
Just

Open up your ears and listen
To the Spirit you’ve been missin’.
And find a little bit o’ happiness in
Someone else’s song!

The music wouldn’t be the same
Without a part or two.
So, let’s enjoy the symphony
God plays for me and you!

Open up your ears and listen
To the Spirit you’ve been missin’.
And find a little bit o’ happiness in
Someone else’s song!

God gave us eyes to see
His works in everyone.
We keep the faith and realize
His Will is always done!

Open up your ears and listen
To the Spirit never missin’.
And find a little bit o’ happiness in
Someone else’s song!

Open up your ears and listen
To that Spirit never missin’.
And find a little happiness in
Someone else’s song!

‘Cause God knows everybody’s song!

Every Mother’s Tears

Posted on by

Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele

1. It doesn’t matter whether she gave birth to them or not.
Her heart knows they’re her children and a precious gift she got.
But every time she hears them cry, Mom cries a little too,
For all the taking, fixing, healing she would like to do.

Refrain 1:
She cries a billion tears of love and fear,
And through all the years may she know
That the Spirit bright shines the Light
To make a rainbow
From every mother’s tears.

2. Even when they move away, she carries them around,
And somewhere deep inside her, every mother knows the sound
Of all the hopes and happiness her children want and plan.
How she would love to wrap each one and place it in their hands!
Refrain 1:

We want to hold them tightly,
But we need to let them go
And let our tears wash over them
To help our children grow!

3. It doesn’t matter whether we gave birth to them or not.
We take care of God’s children and the precious gift we got.
And every time we hear them cry, we cry a little too,
With thanks for all the taking, fixing, healing God can do!

God bless each mother’s tears.

Refrain 2:
We cry a billion tears of love so dear,
And through all the years may we know
That the Spirit bright shines the Light
To make a rainbow
From every mother’s tears.

Eternal Love

Posted on by

Lyrics based on 1 Corinthians 13 and meditation.

Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele

1. I thought I knew so many things when I was young,
But knew in part and understood just pieces of the One.
Yet the Love that brought us here in Spirit always will remain,
The greatest gift of ages that will never fail or change.
Refrain:

2. I see a dim reflection of a perfect place,
A veil over a mirror, but in Heaven face to face.
And as time is moving onward and the bless’ed Kingdom comes,
We feel the purest Presence of eternity in Love.
Refrain:

3. Without it we are nothing by ourselves alone.
In God we can discern the Truth and know as we are known.
Everything we see will all be gone, but there’s no need to fear.
The Love of our Creator is embracing us right here.
Refrain: (Twice)

God’s Love within our Spirit is the Light that never fades.

Refrain:
And may Love keep playing on the strings of our hearts,
Because Its sweet vibration is the ending and the start.
And even though the world we know will someday pass away,
The Love within our Spirit is the Light that never fades.

Move your body joyfully and prance!

Harmony surrounding you.

Offer up your voice to speak.

Manifest, so mote it be.
You are love and light and laughter.
In yourself is all you seek.
So

Hail Mary

Posted on by

A mystical nod to the virgin Mary within each of us – that part of us that is complete unto itself and untouched by human experiences.

Hail Mary, hail! Once blessed in the name of God; twice blessed in the name of Holy Breath; thrice blessed in the name of Christ; for you are worthy, and will bear a son who shall be called Immanuel.
–Aquarian Gospel 2:15

Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele

Refrain:
Hail Mary! You are worthy.
Bless’ed are you, precious one,
In the name of God the father,
Holy Breath, and Christ the son.

1. Virgin Mary, blameless one,
You will bear a saving son.
For the word within you dwells;
God with us, Immanuel.
Refrain:

2. All of those who walk in Light
Bear the Savior called the Christ.
Mary is the willing soul
Where the birth of Christ unfolds.
Refrain:

The Sound of 2015

Posted on by

Personally, this hasn’t been the greatest year I’ve experienced. Not by a long shot… My beloved brother-in-law, Kenny, passed away after a short but very intense struggle with cancer. Because we were so close and I helped care for him and the household, it was a difficult time.

But: Spiritually this year has been nothing short of wonderful! In spite of personal circumstances, every week brought a new song! There are
50 Sunday Songtime offerings,
because I started in the 3rd week of 2015. Did I always feel like writing songs? No, and if I had to do it on human strength, energy, and power – let’s just say the project, and my spirit, would have fallen flat!

But this was not a project of will or personal choice. Every song came from Spirit. Each one is a divine expression of God as I was able to perceive and express at the time. Looking back over these weeks, I realize now more than ever, that these songs were meant to lift my spirit, to draw me closer to God-within, even as they are also meant for others.

I could not have written them without daily meditation! Without inner connection, songwriting results in, well, turn on the radio, and you’ll get an earful! Spiritual, mystical songwriting can only result from a spiritual, mystical relationship with God within our own mind. I.e. becoming Christ-minded so that we can proclaim, “The father and I are one,” and “I am about my father’s business,” as Jesus did.

Having shared the personal side of Sunday Songtime, here are some of my favorites:

God Bless this Human Mess

So Pass the Cheer!

Be Lifted Up

All Because of Love

Train of Thought

Can’t Take it with You when You Go
(started just before my Nana’s passing last December)

Give Thanks Within

Time for Lettin Go

Within Dependent

Faith of Christ

Bring the Light

Cookie Song
(I haven’t made Christmas cookies since childhood, but was pressed into service this year! And that was long after the song! A premonition I didn’t recognize at the time.)

Is that all? No! Though I haven’t finished the doctoral research and dissertation I wanted to finish this year, I’ve had the opportunity to become more intuitive, more spontaneous, and more joyful and playful musically. No doubt this has, and will continue to spread into other areas of life – and may it be so! Other songs written this year, some for future release, are:

Eternal Love, a wedding/union song based on 1 Corinthians 13

Piece of Paper, a future album track

Never Just a Kiss, also a future album track

Singing Sweet, from the mp3 album
Mother Nature Sings

Happy Birth Day,
a joyful breakthrough for me personally

Dreamkeeper,
co-written with ~Morgan~ of BookNVolume

Smilemaker,
written in memory of my brother-in-law

There have been some poems and articles as well, mostly health-related. I’m grateful for those; however, music has been at the forefront this year, including the October/Mabon release of
Mother Nature Sings!

One of my
International Metaphysical Ministry
ordination vows is “not to let personal suffering show forth to the public that could affect your work with them.” By the Power of God, I kept this vow, and only by His Infinite love and grace!

I give thanks for the opportunities God has given and created through me, and know that whatever 2016 holds will be for the Highest Good of every one of us! And mystically speaking, it is already done!

May God’s Presence bless you and your loved ones, now and always! And may you recognize these blessings and give thanks to their Creator–and yours!

Labor of Love

Recognizing Labor Day in the United States, and for anyone – everyone! – who is about the Father’s business (Luke 2:49).

Instrument: Brio – Red cedar concert ukulele

Refrain:
[And] may your work be a labor of love.
May you serve the Father in peace.
So on Earth as in Heaven above,
Giving thanks while planting the seeds.

And do your part
To plant the fertile ground.
He knows, He knows
Where water flows
And ready soil abounds.

And do the task
That God has planned for you.
He lives, He lives
And through you gives
The harvest of good fruit.

You go your way.
O take the path of Light.
And do, and do
Your labor true
With heart and soul and mind.

The tiny seed
With miracles inside.
It grows, it grows,
It flow’rs and shows
The blooming of a life.
