Leddy Hammock “Living in My Heartland” by Sue Riley and Claudia Carawan:   I’m gonna make a new start, lead with my heart, I’ve never felt so sure.   I’m gonna follow where I’m called, it may not be the easy road, Because I’ve finally found my home, living in my heartland.   Now I like those quiet days, I love the peaceful pace, It’s now what I call home.     Sometimes the road less traveled, feels like the real frontier  But when I’m true to who I am, the path is free and clear. I’ve finally found my home, living in my heartland.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Look How Far You’ve Come” by Sue Riley:    Hasn’t it been great?… Let’s talk about the future. Let’s cool off with the rain.   We’ve come through the desert and now we sit here in the shade. Though we’re not where we were heading, just look how far we’ve come.   I now see the beauty in the days that have gone by.   Each day, I remind myself to treasure what I have. Look how far I’ve come!

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “That’s What Love Is” by Lisa Aschmann, Karen Taylor Good, and Freebo   It’s a whisper you hear in the midst of your fear. It’s revealing.   It’s a part of the heart and it’s just who we are. It’s so healing.   It’s the power inside, always wins over pride, never judges.   And it strengthens and comforts us all. That’s what love is.

Leddy Hammock We take to heart these mighty words of The Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr., spoken in 1963:  “As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.” “With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope ….” “With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together….” “With this faith we will be able … to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day…. Let freedom ring!”

Leddy Hammock Lyrics by Daniel Nahmod to “Everything New”:   “Bring it on — everything new, everything different, everything true.  I am ready for my next thing to do.  Oh, I know it’s gonna be everything new.”   “I think I finally learned to bring it on, everything new.”       “I think it’s time to bring it on, everything new.”    “So bring it on, everything new, everything different, everything true.  I am ready for my next thing to do.  Oh, I know, it’s gonna be everything new.”

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “Ready to use the Gifts I’ve Been Given” by Jana Stanfield & Greg Tamblyn:   “Lately, I’ve been noticing how much I’ve been blessed With people to love, peace of mind, and happiness. It makes me want to pass along the love I’ve received As a way of giving thanks for what’s been given to me.”   “I’ve got a strong heart and I’m ready. I’ve got a strong love and I’m ready. I’m ready to use the gifts I’ve been given To make this world a better place to live in.”   “I thought I had to have it all before I could share, Till I realized what’s mine to give has always been there. Well, I may not make a difference that the whole world can see, But if I can show more kindness, that’s what matters to me.”   “I’ve got a strong heart and I’m ready. I’ve got a strong love and I’m ready. I’m ready to use the gifts I’ve been given to make this world a better place to live in.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by “A Quiet Christmas” by Michael Gott:    My heart longs for a quiet Christmas, far from the hurry and the noise, for peace on earth meets peace of mind.     I can slow my mind.  Just breathe, don’t run away, just breathe, and leave the  cares behind.  I know I don’t have to hide.  I can find a quiet place inside.   My heart longs for a quiet Christmas, far from the hurry and the noise, where peace on earth meets peace of mind.       Suddenly, there’s the joy, there’s the peace.  I am ready for a quiet Christmas.

Leddy Hammock Make of my heart a cradle, Lord, so love will come and lay there.   Make of my heart a shelter, Lord, so love will come and stay there.   Make of my heart a manger, Lord, where Love’s the only answer.   Make of my heart a stable, Lord, glowing for light for miles in the darkness so Love will find its way there.

Leddy Hammock The Child of peace is hope to all the world.   The Child of Peace is born in me.     I give my heart to the Child of Peace within all humankind.     Show me how to be a Child of Peace.

Dell deChant Lyrics from “Letting Go of Holding On” by Richard Mekdeci & Mario Freidel:   “I let go of the feelings that feed on lack and greed. I let go of the reasons keeping me in need. I let go of the fear that there’s never enough. And I stop holding on, to what is not love.   We breathe in, we breathe out. It’s all give and take. They’re one with each other, for all of goodness’ sake.   The loaves and the fishes were blessed, then released and barely enough, turned into a feast …. I’m letting go of holding on, seeking first the kingdom of God.   I’m letting go of holding on. God is my Shepherd, I shall not want. I’m letting go of holding on. Seeking first the kingdom of God.

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “Who You Really Are” Richard Mekdeci, Sage & Sue Riley “I know who you really are – I see it in your eyes. Oh, you are a shining star – I know who you really are! Oh, I know who you’re here to be – I see it in your eyes: A light for the world to see – I know who you’re here to be…. Oh, I know who you really are – I see it in your eyes. Oh, you are a shining star – I know who you really are. I now release the limits of the past and let my light shine in this bright New Year.

Leddy Hammock Negative expectations come to nothing, while positive and loving thoughts are manifesting now.   Every good thought, like an angel presence, goes before me to make my way easy, safe, prosperous, and happy.   I deny the stumbling blocks of doubt, fear, and worry, and instead I build up a strong and positive consciousness, paving the way to good outcomes.   I reflect on the good I expect, and as I conceive it, I receive it – or something even better!

Leddy Hammock Highlights from Psalm 91 I shall not fear.  There is no evil, for God is the only Presence and the only Power. I shall not fear, for there is no absence of life, substance, or intelligence, anywhere. I shall not fear.  Pain, sickness, poverty, old age, and death cannot master me, for they are not real.  I dwell on thoughts of Truth—“angel thoughts.” There is nothing in all the universe for me to fear, for we belong to God, children, and the One who is within us is greater than anything in the world.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics, “Share the Dream of Peace” by Sue Riley, David Roth, & Jana Stanfield: “My skin may be a diff’rent shade, my language not the same. I pray in different places, I call God by different names. My clothing may not be like yours, might stand out in a crowd. But in universal Spirit, there are diff’rences allowed. We have the precious present and our presence holds the key to a world that is more loving, as we share the dream of peace. My arms embrace my children. I fall in love, I cry. I marvel at the sunset as another day goes by. But halfway ‘round the world, I know, your rain brings rainbows, too. Though we might seem so different, I am just the same as you. Imagining the future, remembering the past. Together we can co-create a vision that will last.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “As You Believe” by Claudia Carawan: Spread your wings and fly. You belong to the sky. Many wonders lie waiting within your mind’s eye. As you believe, you will receive. With great clarity, claim your destiny. Beyond perceived boundaries lies possibility. Keep hanging on sight unseen. The world belongs to those who believe in their dreams. You will receive as you believe.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “It Works when You Work It” by Sue K. Riley & Fred Bogert: “It works, when I work it! My good comes pouring through. It works, when I work it – these principles of Truth. … I know that I am ready to receive …. If I trust my heart to lead, then love comes pouring through …. My good will know my face. I’m making room for miracles and saving room for grace.”

Leddy Hammock My life is in order and I am ready to receive my good.   I do not make excuses.  I make ready.    My mind is now open, my heart is receptive to be healed and happy.      I am open to give love and to receive love, to love and to be loved.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “Healing in the Hands of Time” by Karen Taylor-Good & Lisa Aschmann:   God has a gentle salve for the wounded, a pillow for the weary soul.    God is time and makes us whole.    God is taking us all on a journey, knows exactly ev'ry inch of this road and, if we could only see farther down it, we would know as God knows.   God, Father Time, the Master of Surprises, will surprise us once again.   Right here and now, we’re all healing in the hands of time.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “I Wish You Strength”  by Jana Stanfield, Tim Bays, & Matt Wilder:    I wish you strength to rise unafraid, like the morning sun, taking on the day, Because when you shine, you light up the place. So, I wish you strength.   I wish you faith, that you’ll overcome, whatever you face ….   Beyond any words, as certain as grace, I wish you faith.   I wish you could see, the you that I see, there at the edge of possibility.   I pray that you will find, all that you need.   I wish you peace, that comes from within, a gentle release, of all that might have been, like the stillness that waits, between waking and sleep, I wish you peace.  I wish you faith, I wish you peace, I wish you strength.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “This Place” by Richard Mekdeci:   This place stirs my love for life, brings me home to paradise.         This place holds me in its arms, breathes on me the breath of God.     Oh, when I think about this place. It always heals me somehow.   This place –best of times, best of friends, the best of everything. Every face in this place, I will be remembering.
