Leddy Hammock (slight glitch around the 3:25 mark)   Lyrics from “Over My Head” (traditional spiritual):     Over my head, I hear music in the air.  There must be a God somewhere!    Over my head, I hear singing everywhere.  There must be a God somewhere!    Over my head, I hear music in the air.  Over my head, I hear singing everywhere. There must be a God!  There must be a God!  There must be a God somewhere!

Leddy Hammock 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 the only hope for some broken hearts. 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. We’re all healing in the hands of time.

Leddy Hammock In this wonderful life, I reap what I sow. All God’s good is mine to give and to receive. My life is God’s gift to me; what I do with my life is my gift to God and to the world. I am a good worker: I serve with a song in my heart and I give thanks to God, my Source. My work is to live the good life: to do my best, to love, to grow, and to serve God. I love my life’s work!

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “Do What I Can Do” by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, and Gary Lynn Floyd: “Look around, what do I see? Good or bad, it’s up to me. My world reflects what I believe. Here’s what I believe. I know there’s good in everyone. I know the best is yet to come. Look out world, ‘cause I’m not done, I’ve only just begun…. I’ll choose compassion over fear, release my love into the atmosphere. Like a single wave in an endless sea, any change begins with me. And, when I feel I’m all alone, I’ll remember, one drop of water smooths a stone. Gonna, love like crazy, shine like gold, be courageous, break the mold. Can’t do it all, but this much is true. I can do what I can do.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Sue Riley to “True North”: “I’ve been a weary traveler on a broken road. Guide me as I find my way, find my own true north.” “I’ve reached a place of trust, I know, I’m answering the call.” “Guide me as I find my way, find my own true north.” God is with me always, even in the wilderness, ready to give me a sign, hold my hand, and help me along the way.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “The Grand Design” by Greg Tamblyn: “…We’re all threads in a tapestry, woven together, your life and mine, ‘till our hearts and roads are intertwined. The road of life may lead us far from where we all begin, but sooner or later, The hands of time weave us back in to the Grand Design. Our path divides, we take our chances, and pray our loved ones will understand us…. We navigate by heart. But, in time, we come to learn that every road is part of the Grand Design…. We could rise up high, see the long road, how far we’ve come and where we’ll go, see how our pathway crosses the others, we know how much we need each other. In this living tapestry, each thread is someone’s road and one day, from a higher place, we may know the Grand Design. It’s something I believe and now I find it comforts me. I’ve come to love the mystery. The Grand Design is with us all along, a last goodbye, a newborn’s song, and, in the end, we all belong, to the Grand Design.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Your True Calling” by Jana Stanfield: When you hear a voice, no one else can hear, yet it’s clear and loud, ringing in your ear. And you finally know, what it’s time to do, that’s your true calling, calling you. When your heart’s wide open ’cause your mind’s been changed and the dreams you dream are not the same, there’s a gate that’s open, you can walk right through. That’s your true calling, calling you. You ask yourself, “Is this a voice I can trust?” You think you can’t, but you know that you must. You’re afraid you’ll fall, if you let go. But, there’s only one way you’ll ever know. Those wings you keep folded are meant to be used when your true calling is calling you. You ask yourself, Am I asking too much? You think you can’t, but you know that you must. There’s a gate that’s open, you can walk right through, that’s your true calling, calling you!

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “A Steadfast Bridge” by Joy Katzen-Guthrie: A Steadfast Bridge gently supports me, constant and strong, through every furious storm. A Steadfast Bridge swiftly transports me past raging waters on a path that’s safe and warm. Show the way, fill me with courage. Help me to know there’s an answer in my heart. When I am weak, your strength sustains me. Your love enfolds me, as You have loved me from the start.

Leddy Hammock From lyrics to “Crossroads” by Joy Katzen-Guthrie and Lisette Brodey: There’s so much to learn, just heeding our inner voice … at the crossroads of life. Life is a challenge we must face . . . God guides us on our way. As we move on, we look down the road . . . while a new life waits for us to arrive. Love only grows and grows at the crossroads of life.

Leddy Hammock From lyrics by Sloan Wainwright to “I Am Free” — I am free, by the Truth in each moment, by the love heaven sent. I won’t walk like a slave today, chained to my regret My past and my future fade. I forgive, I won’t forget. I won’t talk like a slave today, suffering to survive…. I find myself alive. I am free, right where I am—a piece of the puzzle, a part of the plan.

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 that paves 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 Inspired by lyrics from “Father’s Day” by Johnsmith In my heart, I hear my Father say that He loves me. “Like rain falling gently upon fallow ground. I felt the fields of my heart turn green on those few small words my father said to me. So, now, I try to say ‘I love you’ every chance I get. It’s funny how a few small words can run so deep, make a baby smile make a grown man weep.”

Leddy Hammock Based on lyrics from “I Made Room for Grace” by Sue Riley and Melinda Wood Allen I live without making demands. I am happy, just doing the best that I can. When I stop resisting, I get what I needed – and so much more. Rather than insisting on my own way, I open my arms in surrender. Since I made room for grace, I just stepped aside and opened up a space. Now the blessings arrive every day, since I made room for grace.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “The Shepherd’s Song” by Sue Riley: Though I walk in deepest shadows, I will have no fear. I journey with the Shepherd, He walks beside me. With His strength he gives me courage. May His wisdom be my guide. His rod and His staff, they go before me. Surely goodness and mercy will always follow me All of the days and the nights of my life. The Lord is my Shepherd, I will have no fear Within the greenest meadows, beside the deep, cool stream, I will rest in the comfort of eternal love. My cup is overflowing, You anoint my head with oil. I am safe in Your presence, Oh, Eternal One. The Lord is my Shepherd. I will have no fear.

Leddy Hammock Highlignts from “We Remember Them” by Rabbis Sylvan Kamens and Jack Riemer: “At the rising of the sun and at its going down …. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them.” “At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring …. At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember them.” “At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn …. At the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them.” “When we have achievements that are based on theirs …. When we fulfill their dreams, and our own, we remember them. As long as we live, they too will live: for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Still Yourself” by Richard Mekdeci and Mario Friedel “Your path is true. There’s a guiding light that shines inside of you.” “Still yourself. Still yourself. In the silence you will find your way.” “Still yourself. Still yourself. Still yourself and heal yourself. The strength you seek is just a breath away.” “Strength flows from stillness like a fountain, Like a mountain against the sky.” I am still and I am strong.

Sue Riley The Mother side of God’s love is selfless. This is the noble love that inspires everyday heroes. The Mother side of God is infinite wisdom. This is the love that inspires discernment The Mother side of God’s love is loyal and strong. It takes a hero to release fear and trust in love. The Mother side of God’s love is strong enough to let go and begin again. It takes a hero to hold on and inspire other heroes, every day.

Leddy Hammock Highlights inspired by lyrics to “If You Want To Be Happy” by Sloan Wainwright, Sue Riley, Jana Stanfield: “Don’t believe all that you think – if you want to be happy.” “If you want to be happy, be careful what you say. Resist the urge to criticize when things don’t go your way. You can’t make yourself feel better putting other people down. Remember words can hurt you when they come back around.” “Focus on the things you have, not what you haven’t got – if you want to be happy.” “Give up control.” “Trust the Mystery – if you want to be happy.”

Judy Tafelski Highlight from lyrics to “See Myself in You” by Tom Prasado-Rao and Tom Kimmel: “If I met you on the corner, would I know you as you are? Would I take you for a stranger and brush past you in the door? If you called me, would I hear you? Would I walk away too soon? If I lingered for a moment, would I see myself in you? If you held me like my brother, would I see myself in you? …. If you called me, would I hear you? Do I know what I would do? …. If you held me like my mother, would I see myself in you?”

Leddy Hammock Highlights inspired by “Part this Sea” by the Friedels and Richard Mekdeci   I’m facing my worst enemy.  I know that You will part this sea.   I call on You to rescue me.  I know that You will part this sea.   You are the LORD, my God.  I know that You will part this sea.    I know that You are here with me.  I know that You will part this sea.
