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.

Judy Talelski  Inspired by lyrics to “I Dreamed of Rain” by Jan Garrett: The Spirit indwelling inspires me with dreams of freedom. “I dreamed of rain and the rains came, soft and easy, sweet and clear….” and peace spread over the land.” Every soul dreams of freedom and deserves to be free from bondage. “I dreamed of summer, and the winds changed and peace spread over the land.” I dreamed of freedom and I know the Truth sets me free from all limitation. “I dreamed of freedom and the moon rose, and the way was easy and the path was clear.” I am a child of God, born to be free. “And the flowers bloom in the desert, and the air is fresh and clear. I dreamed of freedom and the moon rose and peace spread over the land.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Closer than You Think” by Sue Riley, Glen Roethel and 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.

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 Inspired by “Getting’ Better Ev’ry Minute” by Richard Mekdeci: It’s getting better ev’ry minute, getting better ev’ry day…. There’s a channel of peace being sent from above Bringing us this message on the wings of a dove – It says, It’s betting better ev’ry minute, getting better ev’ry day…. If we’re wise, we surely know; what we feed will always grow …. So I walk through my life and do my best to be cheerful Because I know it’s a choice and it’s better than fearful. So when my friends smile and say, “Hey how ya doin’ today?” I will choose to answer in a positive way – I say, “I’m getting better every minute, getting better every day

Sue Riley Inspired by 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 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.”
