Love a Little More
04:09
|
|||
|
Why can’t we love a little more?
Embrace the light
Open the door
Cast the darkness aside
Why can’t we love our enemies?
Pray for their hearts
To see true Self
A wondrous remedy
An open book
A burning heart
Receiving grace
Never part
(Chorus)
Have you lost your way?
Do you feel all alone?
Has your heart become stone?
Oh, love can take you home
It’s time to love a little more
That's why we’re here
Perfect love
Casts out all fear
It’s time to love our enemies
See through the skin
Spiritual fruit
Reveals Life within
In the twilight of this life
When you look back
Was there Light?
Was there Love?
(Chorus – 2xs)
Love will take you home
Sure there’s a flame deep within
The breath of life whispers…“Begin”

Sacred Romance
02:41
|
|||
|
Sing me a song from above
High in the trees
Within the leaves
Bring me a token of love
Float on the breeze
Sweet honey bees
Leave me a gift from the sea
Barefoot affair
Salt in the air
Whisper a secret to me
Treasure so rare
Beyond compare
(Chorus)
Stars singing harmony in the night
River flowing with life
Down through the canyon and high on the mountain top
All creation is calling out
Raise up your voice from the land
Crickets entrance
Fireflies dance
Bring me the touch of your hand
This circumstance
Sacred romance
(chorus)
Sing
Sing
Sing

Inside Out
02:58
|
|||
|
(Chorus)
Dying to live
Learning to give
Changing the inside out
Losing to gain
Transcend the pain
Finding what it’s about
Feeling divided
(about to fall)
Yet undecided
(behind the wall)
Straddle the line between the Kingdom and the world
The way provided
(through the dark)
The flame ignited
(inside this heart)
Invited past the point of no return
What’s in a name, he said?
(Chorus)
Jumped from the mountain
(a leap of faith)
Swam in the fountain
(riding the wave)
Carried along by going with the flow of Love
Eagle and river
(soaring so high)
Somehow familiar
(behold the sky)
Beyond the noise beyond the shadow of a doubt
What’s in a name, she said?

Alma
03:22
|
|||
|
(Jesus speaking to Alma while she is lying in bed dying)
I’m right here
Where I’ve always been
Right by your side
Beginning and end
I knew you
Before you knew Me
I held you
You couldn’t see
I'll open the eyes of your heart
The time has come
For us to be One
Alma
Alma
(Alma speaking to Jesus moments before she passes)
Distracted by things
Done in Your name
I wanted to know
Wanted to change
The time is near
Is it too late?
How much longer
Must I wait?
Sweet Jesus
There you are
The Truth is known
I’m coming home
Alma
(Angels are singing on high)
Alma
(With Peace, Love and Joy in their hearts)
Alma
(Angels are singing on high)
Alma
NOTE: The inspiration for Alma comes from Jim Walsh, who wrote via email:
“I just thought about your comment on writing a song about Alma, my 96 year old mother- thank you - what a loving thought.”

I Forgive
05:43
|
|||
|
As the Light reveals the disguise
I see delusion hidden in lies
Darkness I can now perceive
Freedom has come
And as I pass through the Narrow Gate
I hear a Voice say
It isn’t too late
Shed the past
Leave it behind
And all that you’ve done
You’re forgiven
My beloved one
I forgive your foolish pride
I forgive all the anger inside
I forgive the secrets you hide
I forgive all the tears
The tears that you’ve cried
On an journey that never ends
All the armor I need to defend
Up high on this precious ground
One with the Son
Now my heart beats with Yours
Perfect Love opens all doors
Living water
A vine so sweet
The battle is won
Yes, the battle is won
I forgive the resentment you hold
(revelation)
I forgive the emotions so cold
(release and let go)
I forgive all the fear and the blame
I forgive all the shame
(rise above in Love)
I forgive your foolish pride
(after the fall)
I forgive all the anger inside
(transcending)
I forgive the secrets you hide
(into the Light)
I forgive all the tears
The tears that you’ve cried
You are forgiven
My beloved one

The Great Life
05:39
|
|||
|
With this heart
I can live
With this love
I can give
With this hope
I can grow
With this peace
I can show
(Chorus)
Press in
Press on
Another day
In The Great Life
We fix our eyes on what’s unseen
Receive grace
Trust and believe
Travel the path few can conceive
Let Truth set us free
(Chorus)
Beyond the ego
Rising in Light
True Self in view
Above left and right
Press in
Press on
Everyday
In The Great Life
In Christ

Jericho
02:01
|
|||
|
Why won’t you let Love in?
All those years of tears and pain
Defying authority in vain
The Voice that speaks to you now is Truth
And it will set you free
Jericho
Oh, Jericho
All those years you tried to see
And journey into eternity
The wall you built must fall
For you to have it all
Jericho
Oh, won’t you let Love in?

Let Go
04:13
|
|||
|
To leave all this here
Isn’t the easiest thing to do
To rise above the world
In this beautiful balloon
And be free
Tethered to dreams
Weighed down by make believe
All considered dear
False reality
Holding on
(Chorus)
No body can remain for very long
All we think we have will soon be gone
Desire’s gravitational pull is strong
Don’t matter who is right or who is wrong
Let go
There once was a man
Clinging to a string
Whispers on the wind
Love was beckoning
To release
At the break of dawn
The man still hanging on
Frozen he was found
Five feet above the ground
He passed away
(Chorus)
All that will be
Non-attached to what is keeping us from seeing
Eternity
One Reality
To leave all this here
Isn’t the easiest thing to do
To rise above the world
In this beautiful balloon
And be free

Take Me Away
03:15
|
|||
|
Darkness falls
High on the wire
Flesh yearns
Spirits burn
Lights dim
Glares of desire
Eyes glance
Pulses dance
(Chorus)
Oh, take me away
It’s Your Light
I want to see
Lord, take me away
Let Your heart beat
Inside me
Rocks glisten
Carnal stares
Midnight dawns
The beat goes on
Broken lines
Empty chairs
Senses wane
To ease the pain
(Chorus)
Tempted again
(Chorus)
|
||||
10. |
Follow Me
04:31
|
|||
|
Follow me
I’ll show you
A heart of peace
A Love so true
Follow me
I’ll give you
The strength you need
To make it through
(Chorus)
I am the Way, the Life
I am the Truth
I am the Spirit that will
Set you free
Follow me
Follow me
I’ll be your eyes
I'll give you sight
To see the lies
Follow me
Kingdom come
A narrow path
To freedom
(Chorus)
Bearing
Believing
Hoping
Enduring all things
Follow me
Follow me
|

11. |
||||
|
I wander through
These streets alone
Never looking for you
I see like a child sees
I Am Love
I am patient
And I am kind
I’m never jealous
Never selfish
I Am Love
I’m not touchy
I delight in the truth
I am ready to excuse
I am never rude
I Am Love
(Chorus)
Love…love
I am stronger than you know
I can make the rivers flow
I can lift you when you’re down
I can turn your world around
I can brighten every day
I can guide you on your way
I Am Love
I am hope
Eager to trust
I endure all these things
I am everywhere
I Am Love
Stormy seas
I sail through
May I always be with you
I Am Love
(Chorus)
Love…love
May I always be with you
I Am Love
I Am Love
I Am Love
