Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “May the Light of Love” by David Roth As we come around to take our places at the table, a moment to remember and reflect upon our wealth. Here’s to loving friends and family, here’s to being able to gather here together in good company and health. May the light of love be shining deep within your spirit. May the torch of mercy clear the path and show the way. May the horn of plenty sound so everyone can hear it. May the light of love be with you every day.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by “I Made Room for Grace” by Sue Riley): When I stumble, I won’t be defeated, since I make room for grace. I stop resisting. I make room for grace. I just step aside, open up a space, and make room for grace. Now the blessings arrive every day, since I made room for grace.

Leddy Hammock I practice an attitude of gratitude. My prayers are answered as I share generously from my grateful heart. The grateful heart draws to itself great things. Perfect answers take form as I keep a good and grateful attitude.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “The Part of Me that Is You” by Sue Riley & Richard Mekdeci: “When the world tells me I’m less than whole, I hear these words, spoken from my soul: ‘A Child of Mine will not inherit disease.’ I am a Child of peace. The part of me that is You knows only health and wholeness. The part of me that is You knows only love and joy. The part of me that is You is divine and ageless, like a compass pointing to a north that’s true. Then I remember what my heart already knows. When I feel my back’s against the wall, I hear a voice say, ‘Fight!’ but I refuse the call. As Your Child, I choose the higher road and I know You’ll always be there if I fall. You are the Truth of who I am. I am a Child of peace. When my self-respect is fading fast, frozen in the present, Haunted by the past, I look in the mirror and I see Your face and I remember what my heart already has. I bless the part of me that is You.”–the fairest of the fair.

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “There for You” by Roger Tomhave, Claudia Carawan, & Melinda Wood Allen: If God had hands, there’d only be one on your shoulder. If God could speak, the words would bless everything you do. Take my hand, I’ll stand beside you. Together we’ll make it through. Take my love, now and always, I will be there for you. If God has ears, they’d listen to what you’re saying. If God has eyes, they’d see the wonder that is you. If God had legs, they’d go with you on your journey, But God has me and I’ll be there for you.

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “Meet You where You Are” by Melinda Wood Allen & David Roth: Oh my friend, I will meet you where you are. I won’t throw flower petals on your wounded heart. If it’s not okay we won’t pretend, But if it’s not okay, it’s not the end. Aren’t you stronger than you ever used to be? At least that’s the way it seems to me, if not to you. Aren’t you the one who’s made it all this way? No matter what those voices in your head might say, it’s up to you. This too shall pass. There are times that are simply not okay. What you do with them, it’s up to you to say. I’ll meet you where you are.

Leddy Hammock Lyrics from “Everything To Do with Love” by Jan Garrett,JD Martin,Harold Payne,& Freebo: It’s got nothing to do with history, or which side has lost or won. It’s got everything, everything to do with love. It’s got nothing to do with boundaries, or thinking that you have to be tough. It’s got everything, everything to do with love. Something as simple as kindness can see us through. It’s got everything to do with love. There’s so much hope to hold onto, and so many songs to be sung, It’s got everything, everything to do with love.

Leddy Hammock Inspiration from lyrics to “Making of a Soul” by Nathen Aswell: “There is no destination; the journey is the goal. I’m busy with the making of a soul …. I have no map to guide me; there is no book of rules. The only thing that’s certain is joy will lead me home. I’m part of God unfolding; I trust and fully give. All that really matters is that while I live, I live. My gifts are what is needed; the universe is home. I’m busy with the making of a soul.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “Amazing Things” by Jana Stanfield: We will do amazing things, with the choice each new day brings. And with every breath you take, list the progress that you make. The reason you live is there is every gift you give. Love your life, love your dreams. You will do amazing things. Amazing, amazing, you will do amazing things. Oh, the places you will go and the people you will know! Don’t worry when or where or how. You don’t need to know that now. You’re on the right track, no need to look ahead or back. Just enjoy what this day brings. You will do amazing things. You don’t have to work it out, just stay in the here and now, let your mind rest for a little while. Sometimes deepest answers come when you’re out there having fun. Close your eyes and take a break and smile. Amazing! You will do amazing things!

Rev. Dell deChant Inspired by lyrics to “Letting Go of Holding On” by Richard Mekdeci/Mario Friedel: “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. 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.”

Inspired by lyrics to “The Grand Design” by Greg Tamblyn: “After all these years, I’m startin’ to see 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. Out on life’s highway, we feel alone, as every bend leads us further from home. Our path divides, we take our chances, and pray our loved ones will understand us. Which way to go we don’t always know, so 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 Gran

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “This Is What I Know” – Words & Music by Jan Garrett: “This is what I know: That we are all connected, The universe reflected in each shining part. And everywhere I go I recognize the faces All of my relations in this one Heart. And all I need is already looking thru these eyes, Nearer than my breathing, closer than hands and feet. We are dreaming together all the gifts of heaven and earth, And so I receive all I can be…. And now I let it go, with such appreciation, With sheer exhilaration, now I set it free. And so it is, and so be it. When I sing it I can see it. I welcome us in, and now we begin . . . . Amen, amen, amen!”

Leddy Hammock Lyrics from “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, your true calling, calling you!

Leddy Hammock Lyrics from “No Complaints Whatsoever” by Jan Garrett & JD Martin: I got no complaints whatsoever and a new day is dawning in my soul. I gave up the struggle at last, and I can see all the ways that I’ve been gifted and all the wisdom that has brought me to this place. Through the twists and the turns, I have finally come to learn to trust this amazing kind of grace. The high road is surprisingly easy. Forgiveness shows up without a fight. Through the ups and the downs I see beauty all around, ‘cause I’d rather be grateful than right. I’ve got no regrets. I’m seriously blessed. I got peace of mind. All the time. I’ve got no complaints whatsoever and a new day is dawning in my soul.

Judy Tafelski Inspired by lyrics to “The Way of God” by Richard Mekdeci: “Hush my child,” I heard the voice say from the dark night of my soul. “Things are not as bad as they seem, you are stronger than you know. You call on me to help you but it’s already done. Ev’rything I am, you are; the battle has been won. You are not weak. You are not helpless. You are not fear. You are not judgment. You are whole. You are worthy. You are the way of God, the way of God. Deep in my own heart I found strength and the courage to go on, When I faced my fears I could see they were all just illusion. I want to make the difference, I want to be the way. Now when I want to turn and run, I hear myself say: Stretch your heart until it reaches the way of God. Ev’ry Master Teacher teaches the way of God. ‘Cause the only way to peace is the way of God. So when the path before you seems too much to take, just remember who you are, take a breath and say, I am not weak. I am not helpless. I am not fear. I am not judgment. I am whole.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Leddy Hammock to a song by Sue Riley, “Leave those Walls Behind” from the double CD set with “Twelve Women of the Chalice” (2008): Sounds of the city, the life I knew, fade in the background and drift away. As I turn to face the window, to the open blue, new life is calling to me. It says, “Come with me, Beloved, leave those walls behind, for a land of milk and honey— a promised land, leave those walls behind.” Oh, I’ve taken care of others, of ev’ryone but me. Closed in these walls, no room to breathe, I can only save them by choosing to be free. New life is calling to me. It says, “Come with me, Beloved, leave those walls behind, for a land of milk and honey– a promised land. Leave those walls behind. “No more looking out with longing, hiding here within. Now I fin’ly have the courage to step outside. I’ve shaken off my sorrow, no more waiting to begin. New life is calling to me. It says, “Come with me, Beloved, leave those walls behind, For a land of milk and honey, a pr

Leddy Hammock   Inspired by lyrics from “A World Awakening” by Richard Mekdeci: “No more fighting, hearts uniting, all one people, all one dream. Hate is dying, Love is rising on a world awakening. Children of one God, one planet. Let the earth and heaven sing. Join the angels’ joyous strains all for a world awakening. One day all the world is watching. Time weaves us a common theme. Peace, our anthem, all are welcome to a world awakening. New ideas and new beginnings, that’s what each tomorrow brings. Freely giving, we are living in a world awakening.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by “Don’t Ask Me To Give up this Dream” from “Twelve Women of the Chalice” Cd set, music by Sue K. Riley and lyrics by Leddy Hammock: With my back to the past, I let everything go. I am leaving behind me the life I have known, In this meadow of memories, nothing can grow. I am leaving the life I have known. There are those who will say it is safer to stay Where the voices around me all call me by name. But, I’ll follow the longing that leads me away From the voices that call me by name. Don’t ask me to give up this dream. Wherever it takes me, I’ll go. No matter how hopeless this journey may seem, Don’t ask me to give up this dream. I will gather my good from the seeds of the past, My blessing will come by the work of my hands. From the heat of the day to the sunset at last, I’ll be blessed by the work of my hands. Don’t ask me to give up this dream.

"Dreamspeak" Inspired by lyrics to “When We’re Talkin’ Dreams” by Sue Riley, Karen Taylor-Good, and Harold Payne: A dream is just a seed we plant. Then we wait for it to grow. We’ve been waiting patiently, I know. We’re breathin’ so it’s not too late. There’s no expiration date when we’re talkin’ dreams, and we’re talkin’ dreams. Anything can happen, long as we think it can. Unexpected gifts await our outstretched hand. There’s no expiration date when we’re talkin’ dreams, and we’re talkin’ dreams.
