Unity Church Of Clearwater

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Go Out and Shine” by Sue Riley, Glen Roethel, and Melinda Wood Allen: Keeping my thoughts centered on what I want to see in my life and letting kindness be my guide, I go out and shine my light! I see the world, not as it seems, but as I am, and I am in unity with God: one voice, one hand, one heart. If I want a change, I make a start. I go out and shine! I am a child of God and I act like one. I am a radiating center of peace and love. I go out and shine my light! It is up to me to see the world and all its people rightly – as God’s children. We’re one big family and what’s good for you is good for me. Let’s go out and shine!

Leddy Hammock “There’s a new church on the horizon, made of light, not of stone, calling now to all creation, ‘You are not alone.’ We are One Heart, looking for answers. We are One Soul, finding our way through the dark. Hold out your hand. Someone will take it and bring you home again. One dream, we share together. We are all a part of One Heart.” We are One Heart, looking for answers, sharing this eternal quest for our own indwelling Christ.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “Gone!” by Faith Rivera and David Roth: “Gone – all the baggage that has burdened me. Gone – all the troubles I no longer need. Now is the moment that I do release – it’s gone!” “Gone is the weight that had me slowin’ down. Gone are the habits that I kept around. Now is the moment that I do release — it’s gone!” “Gone – all the baggage, I am finally free. Gone – all the troubles, I am finally me. Now is the moment that I do release – it’s gone!” “My loss is my gain. I am changing. I’m free, I’m through. I’m strong, I am new. It’s gone!”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Let It Out” by Faith Rivera and Richard Mekdeci: “I have within me greater power than that I have used, more life than I have lived, more strength than I have known.” “I have within me, greater dreams to come true, more willingness to change, more love to give away,” “I have within me greater wealth for me to share, more potential to reveal, more beauty every day.” I am ready to express my divine potential and shine my light!

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “God Is” by Richard Mekdeci “Wherever we are, God is. Wherever we go, God is. Let everybody know God is, and all is well. Whenever we give, God is. Whenever we love, God is. There’s always gonna be enough, ‘cause God is and all is well.” “Whenever we give, God is. Whenever we love, God is. There’s always gonna be enough, ‘cause God is, and all is well.” and “The Prayer of Faith” by Hannah More Kohaus: “God is my help in every need; God does my every hunger feed; God walks beside me, guides my way Through every moment of this day. I now am wise, I now am true, Patient and kind, and loving, too; All things I am, can do, and be, Through Christ the Truth, that is in me. God is my health, I can’t be sick; God is my strength, unfailing, quick; God is my all, I know no fear, Since God and Love and Truth are here.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “My Every Notion” by Sue Riley and Glen Roethel Words I say come back to me. I choose my words carefully. With my thoughts and words, I build my life. As I speak, my words have power. My life opens like a flower. This is why I know: My every notion puts energy In motion. What I say is what I get. So, when I feel I’ve lost my way, I find perfect words to say. I look within, I make the choice, I take a breath, I lift my voice. Words and thoughts are seeds that grow. This is why I know: My every notion puts energy in motion!

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “What I Seek Is Seeking Me” by Sue Riley/Jana Stanfield The whisper that I hear In my heart is telling me it’s time to start to become the me I’m here to be. “What I seek is seeking me, even when that’s hard to see.” “It’s time to just let go of my fear, trusting that the net will appear, believe that things I know are true in everything I say and do.” “I choose faith, so I believe! What I seek is seeking me.”

Leddy Hammock “We Remember Them” by Rabbis Sylvan Kamens & Jack Fiemer (1975) “At the rising of the sun and at its going down…. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter…. At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them.” “At the shining of the sun and in the warmth of summer…. At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them.” “At the beginning of the year and at its end…. When we have decisions… to make, 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 You are the face of God. I hold you in my heart. You are a part of me. You are the face of God. You are my family. I hold you in my heart. You are the face of God. You are the face of God. I hold you in my heart. You are a part of me. You are the face of God. You are my family.  

Leddy Hammock Lyrics from “Morning Sun” by Ariel Thiermann: “LITTLE ONE, IN MY ARMS, I WILL KEEP YOU SAFE FROM HARM. SWEET DREAMER, HOW YOU GLOW, AS I ROCK YOU, SOFT AND SLOW. YOU SHINE SO BRIGHT, LIKE THE MORNING SUN. YOU SHARE YOUR LIGHT WITH EVERYONE. I’M GONNA LOVE YOU THROUGH IT ALL, WATCH YOU FLY AND WATCH YOU FALL, HELP YOU LEARN, HELP YOU GROW, ROCK YOU SOFT AND ROCK YOU SLOW. I’M GONNA LOVE YOU.”

Leddy Hammock We are unique and precious beings, always doing the best our current consciousness allows as we grow up spiritually. It is up to me to decide what kind of world I am helping to create for the children today and the children of the future. To have a world that is peaceful and kind, fair and joyous, I must speak to every child of God in the language of love. For this precious place, for every young face, I am ready to be all that I can be to show every boy and girl what kind of wonderful world we are now creating together.

Leddy Hammock “Wake up, lay down the burden.  Leave it alone, it’s time to move on.” “Step up with a light heart.  Shine it all around . . . .” “With a word, like a prayer, send it out everywhere, it will grow — And the Truth of this Force leads us back to the Source we all know. Live out the best of your life!”

Leddy Hammock “The road is long but I will make it! That's who I am! It's not the race, but how I'm running, not who I was, but who I'm becoming. Steady on, I'll finish strong on this path. Hallelujah today! With every mile I'm reminded that I never go empty-handed. God is my strength. I'm never stranded. I'm not alone. Hallelujah today! Calling out like a siren of good and peace and joy resounding! Hear me now — I'm ringing out around the world!” Hallelujah today! In every song I sing, in every part of me, in everything — Hallelujah! Every breath in me proclaims, ‘Hallelujah today!’”

Leddy Hammock Things are not as bad as they seem and I am stronger than I knew. I call on God to help me, but it’s already done. Everything God is, I am. The battle has been won. Inside my own heart, I find hope and the courage to go on. When I face my fears, I can see they are all just illusion. I want to make the difference. I want to be the way. And when I want to turn and run, I hear myself say: “I am not weak. I am not helpless. I am not fear. I am not judgment. I am whole. I am worthy. I am the way of God.” Stretch your heart until it reaches – the way of God. Every master teacher teaches – the way of God. Because the only way to peace is – the way of God. When the task before us seems too much to take, let’s remember who we are. Then we take a breath and say, “I am not weak. I am not helpless. I am not fear. I am not judgment. I am whole. I am worthy. I am the way of God.”

Leddy Hammock From Peter Mayer’s song, “Holy Now” — “I remember feeling sad that miracles don’t happen still. But now I can’t keep track . . . ‘cause everything’s a miracle…. See another new morning come and say it’s not a sacrament – I tell you that it can’t be done. This morning, outside I stood and saw a little red-winged bird, shining like a burning bush, singing like a scripture verse. It made me want to bow my head. I remember when church let out, how things have changed since then. Everything is holy now. It used to be a world half-there, heaven’s second rate hand-me-down. But I walk it with a reverent air, ‘cause everything is holy now.”

Daniel Nahmod From lyrics by Daniel Nahmod to “Raising the Veil” “I’m raising the veil between me and my God. No separation. No distance at all. God is right here in my heart. I’m raising the veil. I want to know you, O God . . . . I want to see You, O God . . . . God is right here in my heart. I’m, raising the veil. I want to praise you. O God . . . . I want to love you. O God . . . . God is right here in my heart. I’m raising the veil. I’m raising the veil between me and my God. No separation. No distance at all. God is right here in my heart. I’m raising the veil.”

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “Divine Order” by Leddy Hammock/Sue Riley (“12 Women of the Chalice” CD). “Let there be less of me. Let there be more of Thee – less of the human, more of the Divine, less that belongs to me, more that is Thine, more of God’s nature, less that is mine. Not personality: Individuality. More of the Christ Self, shining through me. Teach me humility; let me your servant be. Give me serenity, selfless and free. Let there be less of me, let there be more of Thee – less of the human, more of the divine.”

Leddy Hammock An Irish Blessing – “May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sunshine warm upon your face; the rains falls soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.”

Leddy Hammock From lyrics to “Get Ready, My Soul” by Daniel Nahmod: “Everything I’ve ever done, everything I’ve ever seen, everything I’ve lost or won, everything I’ve ever dreamed, has brought me here to the present moment, here, to a new beginning, here and I’m seeing life so clearly now.”   Here I go, deeper, deeper, deeper than I’ve ever been before. Here I go, close, closer, closer to my sacred Source.” “Get ready, my soul.  I’m divin’ in. Get ready, my soul.  I’m divin’ in to the deepest kind of love, to the sweetest kind of life, Get ready, get ready, my soul.

Leddy Hammock “Moving forward through uncharted water with only my heart as my guide, one thing I know for certain:  what I need is a leap of faith. I know if I start to falter, You’ll give me the strength to go on. Though I might waver, I’m certain of this:  what I’m needing is a leap of faith. I need faith to believe in the wisdom of change. As I follow in trust, when my ways are not enough,  I need a leap of faith. Though it’s hard to let go of the comfort in the things I would be leaving behind, the first step I need to consider, is a big one — it’s a leap of faith.”
