Bless’d Trinity – Mother’s Day Tribute

Posted on by

We seek to know the Father
And live as Christ the Son.
But what about the Mother;
Is She not in the One?

The quiet Holy Spirit,
The comforter of men,
The counselor and teacher,
In Mother it descends.

Through mothers of all races,
The Holy Spirit flows.
Where there is Love in action,
The Mother-Presence knows.

So anyone who nurtures,
Who loves and holds a space
For Life to grow and blossom
Is in a mother’s place.

The Ghost of unseen mystery,
The clay becoming form,
It waits in all creations
As Peace within a storm.

The woman who has children,
The man who’s good and kind,
And all who offer caring
Are of the Mother-Mind.

We seek to know the Father
And live as Christ the Son.
And through the Love of Mother,
We see the All-in-One!

Thank You, Mother Earth

Repeat 1.

Presence Within

Posted on by

Instrument: Walnut Concert Flea Ukulele

Your Presence within each creation
Is the blessing.

In each manifestation,
You abide.

You take care of Your own,
Of Your own accord,
In Your own time,
By Your own means.

The limited mind cannot know Your ways.
But by Your Power,
We rise to Christ Mind!

Here we know
We are one
Creator-Creation,
Blessing-Blessed,
Love-Beloved,
In Essence “atonement,”
At-one-ment.

Oh that we can be aware of this oneness,
Live in it,
Act within it,
Speak from it,
Know because of it,
More of the time we are here on Your Earth!

For as one,
In You,
We live
And move
And have our very being!

Without You we are nothing.
But because of You,
We are beloved!

For this we give You thanks
And bless Your Presence within us!
And so it is!

Rhythm and Rhyme

Posted on by

Rhythm and rhyme are truly sublime.
But you do not know just what makes them so?

I tell you the truth: the heart that’s in you
Is beating all day to music God plays.

And every night God’s thoughts from the Light
Expand in your mind till gently in time…

You know the song and start singing along!
The music of love is yours to live from!

Your heart beats pure, and its rhythm is sure
By God’s design, his rhythm, and rhyme!

Welcome, Springtime!

Posted on by

Welcome, Springtime!
youthful splendor;
Sweet renewal
Flowing free.

Welcome, Springtime!
Stirring Lifeforce,
Singing, dancing
In and through me.

Welcome, Springtime!
Equal daytime
Sharing space with
Equal night.

Welcome, Springtime!
Balance weighing;
Harmonizing
Dark and Light.

Welcome, Springtime!
Bringing forward
Light that kindles
Deep within.

Welcome, Springtime!
Now in Christ we
Lift our hearts in
Resurrection!
–Amen!

And so it is!

Posted on by

I think a thought,
And so it is!
I may not see it now.
But at some time
The God of Mind
Will bring it back around.

So with each thought,
Which is a prayer,
I let God reign in me:
Thought manifests
To take or bless;
Which do I choose to see?

I think a thought
And may it be
From Higher Consciousness!
And when it’s mine
To have in time,
The good will manifest!
–And so it is!

Woman

Posted on by

I wrote this song in early 2011, while exploring Goddess-centered spirituality. I share it here in honor of International Women’s Day – but more than this, honoring all people and our Great Creator! It’s time we see our gender as a blessing and not a difference, curse, crutch, or hindrance! This applies to our personal gender and everyone else’s. May we truly know, and thus experience, that we are indeed all One, regardless of physical form!

Woman – Lyrics

Instrument: soprano Flea ukulele

Note: This was recorded outside, so I apologize for the background noise. And this is not my usual ukulele tuning – this is reentrant/high G, and I usually play linear/low G. 🙂

1. Woman so soft
Woman so sweet
Woman so gentle
Woman so strong
Woman of love
Woman of peace
Woman complete
Sing your beautiful song!

2. Woman of earth
Woman of air
Woman of water
Woman of fire
Woman of birth
Woman of life
Woman of laughter
Now express your desire!

3. Woman in body
Woman in mind
Woman in spirit
Open your eyes!
Know who you are
Claim who you’ve been
For you will be
All that you can let in!

Repeat 1.

Sing your beautiful song! (3x total)

Miracle

Posted on by

This song was written for a child’s welcoming ceremony. In other traditions and religions, this would be a baptism, christening, baby naming, Wiccaning, etc. It acknowledges the child’s God-purpose and the parents’ and others’ support of that purpose–whatever it may be.

We are all someone’s child, and children of God; so Miracle is for everyone!

And to Aaron, happy birthday! May God continue to bless you, and others through you!

Miracle – Lyrics

Instrument: Lanikai LU21C concert ukulele (Aaron’s uke)

1. You are a miracle
Of laughter and love.
You are a miracle
Of Spirit above.
You have a purpose and a path,
And we affirm our openness to that.

2. You are a miracle,
A precious gift of God.
You are a miracle
That we are blessed to love.
You are one body, mind and soul,
And we affirm together we will grow.

3. You are a miracle
Of possibility.
You are a miracle;
Be the change you want to see.
We travel beside you, but the path is yours alone.
We watch you and learn from you, the greatness of The One.

4. ‘Cause we are miracles
Of laughter and love.
We are all miracles
Of One Spirit above.
We have a purpose and a path,
And we affirm our gratitude for that

‘Cause we are miracles
Miracles
Miracles!

Children

Posted on by

These are little ones before they become “adult” and prone to judgment, prejudice, hate, narrow-mindedness–need I go on? You know, all the things they learn from the rest of us…

Instead of conforming them to our molds and “raising good kids,” wouldn’t it be better for all of us, and the world, if we conformed more to their unadulterated standards?

Children have a beauty
That’s within them; it is true.
Children have a beauty
And an innocence that’s pure.

Children love all people,
And they bring great joy and peace.
Children love all people,
And they teach us many things.

Children are quite special,
And they fill our hearts with love.
Children are quite special,
And we thank the Lord above.

I love little children,
For they’re gentle, good, and kind.
I love little children;
They delight my heart and mind.

—
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”

Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them, and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
–Matthew 18:1-4

Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.” He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
–Matthew 19:13-15

Wedding Prayer – More than Ceremony

Posted on by

Contrary to its title, this isn’t a wedding song. 😀 Or it isn’t just a wedding song. It’s for anyone in a loving, intimate, romantic relationship. And should you happen to extend that to a wedding or union ceremony, this song would fit in. But ceremony itself does not create love! It must already exist and be acknowledged within, and between people. No imitation or appearance alone will do. It is with true love in mind that I share this song.

Wedding Prayer – Lyrics

Instrument: Luna HTC-Koa ukulele (concert, reentrant)

1. Oh as I focus on you now,
May I make no earthly vow
That keeps your spirit at bay.
And as I dwell within your life,
May I be a shining light
That stands behind
In peace of mind
To let you go your way.
And
Refrain:

2. So as I see the good in you,
May I to us both be true
And know we’re already one.
And as I live the best I can,
May God guide my heart and hands.
I lift them up
To bless this cup
And pray, “Thy will be done.”
And
Refrain: (Twice)

When I say, “I love you,”
May it warm the heart of you.

Refrain:
When I take your hand,
May it be a gentle touch.
And when I say your name,
May a little be so much.
When I kiss you or embrace you,
May I wrap you in the Truth.
And when I say, “I love you,”
May it warm the heart of you.
