From lyrics to "I Am One" by Tim Bays & Jana Stanfield:

I'm just a spoke in the wheel, one grain of sand, But it feels so right, to be right where I am.

I'm just one little part of a much bigger plan, And the longer I'm here, the more I understand.

I am one. We are one, like the rays of the sun.

When it's all said and done, I am one, we are one.

Inspired by "Earth" by David Roth:

We believe we can live without anger, or hunger, or pain. Dream of a sign that the Earth can be peaceful again, A day when we choose not to live anymore like strangers, For each of us has the power to bring about changes.

Our people are looking higher, seeking the light. We can do the good we desire when intentions are right. Remembering what life is really worth, We want to learn to live in peace on earth.

Dream of a day when we can live in communion. Dream of a time when we can live without fear. Awaken a way to get all of us working together. Know that the time when the Earth can be peaceful is near.

Let our thoughts and our actions always be honest and clear, Let the people of Earth learn to live in peace without fear. We believe that the time when the earth can be peaceful is here.

From "It's a Brand New Day" by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, & Glen Roethel:

Faith can move a mountain, part that stormy sea. Love can be a fountain pouring over me.

Hope can build a future so we can truly say. The past is past, free at last, it's a brand new day.

Doubts become believing that death can be destroyed. Painful loss and grieving, can open us to joy.

A dawn of resurrection can chase our fears away. The past is past, free at last, it's a brand new day.

Inspired by lyrics to "Rise!" by Faith Rivera

I close my eyes. I open my heart. I take a deep breath, let the healing start. I lift my hands. I plant my feet. I let love in, I feel the beat that's calling us to rise!

I ready my soul. I clear my mind. I'm here and now in present time.

I feel the power of a thousand suns lighting up the dark.

Love's calling out my name. Love's calling – that's why we came! Rise up! Reach for the sky! Going up high. Love is alive. We're bringing the light!

From lyrics to "Hallelujah Today!" by Denise Rosier:

God is my strength, I'm never stranded. I'm not alone.

Every breath in me proclaims, Hallelujah today!

Steady on, I'll finish strong on this path.

Every breath in me proclaims, Hallelujah today!

Highlights:

God loves me and sees me well.

The place for my healing is right here, right where I am.

Now, in this moment, I am ready and willing to be healed.

Now is the time for me to go within and discover that I already know how it feels to be whole, how to heal.

Highlights: From lyrics to "Closer than You Think" – Sue Riley, Glen Roethel & Melinda Wood Allen: "When all your dreams are hooked on a shooting star And the star falls down, remember how great you are. You are the guiding star you need…. Your day in the sun, the moment seems lost in time, When the sun sinks low, remember how bright you shine. You are the only light you need…. The road is long, and you feel weary. Take one more step, you are nearly home. Shadows of time, love that has passed you by And your hope runs out. Give it just one more try. Love may be closer than you think. Don't stop now. You're closer than you think.

Highlights 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!

Inspired by "Allowing" by Susie Hulcher:

"It's all about allowing, allowing peace within, in absolute surrender so serenity begins. For when the storm subsided, and calm becomes a wave, it's all about allowing it to stay.

It's all about allowing, allowing love to flow. It's setting down your burden and just simply letting go. For as you cease to struggle and love pours through your heart, it's all about allowing it to start.

Now, feel it warm and shining, new with promise, strong, undying, Love different than any you have known. And, now the seed is sown.

It's all about allowing, allowing change to show, then living in the moment like it's all you'll ever know; … It's all about allowing it inside."

Inspired by lyrics by David Roth to his song, "I Stand for Love," adapted (text in purple) for our Annual Meeting 2 22 26 with permission from the songwriter.

I stand for love, I stand for peace, I stand for joy and for release, For what is beautiful and true. I stand for hope. I stand for you.

We stand for Truth that sets us free. I stand for you; you stand for me. Then let us build a house of prayer to welcome friends from everywhere.

At last, the time is now at hand to live the Truth we understand, To build a church on love that's real, we build on faith as strong as steel.

Where we will stand for love and peace, we'll stand for joy and for release, For what is beautiful and true. We'll stand for hope; we'll stand with you.

For what is beautiful and true, We stand for hope; we stand for you.

From lyrics to "More Love" by Lezli and Dawn:

I'm game for making friends quite easily; I freely give respect to everyone and appreciate when goodness is returned as we choose more love.

It's worth it all to experience the freedom that an open heart can bring when I choose more love.

I avoid being sarcastic. I prefer to see a simple smile. I'm too happy to be cynical. Kindness works much better every time I choose more love.

I don't imagine that I'm magical; I'm just thinking of this life that I'm creating for myself when I choose more love.
