As the lover longs for the Beloved, as the deer yearns for the stream.
My heart, my soul, my all, feels the allurement of Earth; feels the allurement of Earth.
As the child longs for arms of mother, as the parched land yearns for the rain.
My heart, my soul, my all, feels the allurement of Earth; feels the allurement of Earth.

Hidden Within

Hidden with the heart of the atom; hidden within the tear of a child;
hidden within the nest of the sparrow; hidden within is the Universe.

Hidden within the touch of the parent; hidden within the dance of the wind;
hidden within the young shouts of springtime; hidden within is the Universe.

Hidden within the softness of moonlight; hidden within the depths of the sea;
hidden within the roar of the lion; hidden within is the Universe.

Hidden within each dying and rising; hidden within the fragrance of flowers;
Hidden within the breech of the humpback; hidden within is the Universe…
hidden within me.

Let the Healing Begin

(Refrain)
The time is now! The place is here! Let the healing begin!
The ancient call is heard anew! Let the healing begin!

This is the day of peace and atonement. Heal the wounds. Heal the pain.
Let forgiveness find a home. Peace in every home. (refrain)

Oh, that our world may choose to live as one. No more hate. No more war.
May peace abound in every land, justice is at hand. (refrain)

The call to live in right relationship stirs within, stirs the soul.
Respect each culture and each race, creature and each place. (refrain)

Our fragile Earth needs mending and healing. Stand for life. Choose for life.
Defend each species on death row. Each deserves to grow. (refrain)

Gloria

Glory to God on high!
Peace on the Earth!
Glory fills the Earth!
Gloria!

Crashing waves, setting sun, canyon deep; Gloria!
Desert flowers, fields of grain, ancient trees; Gloria!

Coral reefs, lightning storms, morning dew; Gloria!
Autumn leaves, falling snow, shooting stars; Gloria!

Mosques at prayer, churches alive, temples full; Gloria!
World at peace, hunger no more, Kin-dom come; Gloria!

A New Dawn

Feel the New Dawn awaking! Rising sun reflecting all that we could be!
Morning Star brings Fire to Earth transforming hearts and minds.

Consciousness is awaking to its sacred name, “Holy One, am I.”
In my Being Fire’s ablaze; illuminating who I am.

I am Holy Presence waking, knowing in my Being joy, love and peace.
Let go into Fire’s power, becoming One in All.

Feel the New Dawn Awaking! Consciousness transcending culture, race and creed!
All distortion Fire burns away; giving humans new eyes.

A New Worldview

A new worldview, shift in paradigm!
Inner life of atoms; quanta blow my mind!
A new worldview, “Paradox,” declare.
Universe alive, Mystery everywhere!

Quantum waves in empty space wait to be observed.
Observation pops the wave causing it to become form. (refrain)

We are but a hologram of the Universe.
Each part reflects the Whole, capturing a glimpse of All. (refrain)

The Call of the Wild

The Call of the Wild rouses my soul, opening mind and heart to soar.
Oh, Call of the Wild, Fire of Life, flame the love of life in me.

The Call of the Wild howls through the trees, shaking and dancing in the storm.
Oh, Call of the Wild, Shaker of Bones, dance your freedom in me.

The Call of the Wild lurks in the night, into the place where shadow reigns.
Oh, Call of the Wild, Friend of the Dark, release the fear of night from me.

The Call of the Wild lures me to come; come without fear and without shame.
Oh, Call of the Wild, Healer of Soul, touch me with wholeness once again.

Evergreen

May the wreath of the evergreen give you strength.
May the fragrance of pine bestow peace.
May the cedar and spruce, the redwood and fir,
encircle you with Life, Everlasting Life.

May the wreath of the evergreen give you strength.
May the fragrance of pine bestow peace.
May the branches so green, hopeful and sure,
encircle you with Life, Everlasting Life.
