Out of the Ashes

Out of the swirling dust a hand reached out for me
From under the concrete's crush I left my body free
Through all the falling grime that turned the day to night
I found my soul was flying towards a distant light

There my loved ones waited, arms open to draw near
My spirit elevated to where I could hear...

Chorus:

Heavenly bells ringing
Angels singing
Peace unto thee

Out of the desolation smoldering in the rain
I felt our anguished nation crying out in pain
I saw my picture hanging on the faithful wall
As the rescue workers labored, heroes one and all

I saw my family losing hope within their tears
I only wish that they could hear now through my ears...

(Repeat Chorus)

I could not console them in the ruins that were left
By the ravages of hatred at its worst
But out of the ashes rose new power
To meet the challenge of the hour
From the devastation came new birth
New birth

Out of the fractured hearts of each and every soul
I saw a new spirit rising to heal and to make whole
I saw a courageous people united in their stand
To put an end to the wrath of terror that violates our land

Reaching out for each other--mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,
Every race and every creed--one people consecrated to be free

Chorus (2x)

And the heavenly bells are ringing
You can hear the angels singing
Peace unto thee

God Belongs to All of Us

Sammy was a God fearing man...
he read his bible from the palm of his hand...and he
went to heaven the moment he died...
it's where he saw the light...that
God belongs to all of us.

The general knows that God's on his side...
his enemy pray that the evil general die
They thank God when the killing is done...no...
God belongs to all of us.

Ha re Ha re...Alleluia, Namaste...Om and Amen. Praise Allah. Shalom.

Buddha told a story and the people were awestruck.
Rub his belly it will give you good luck...I think all he came to say is
The love belongs to all of us...
There are no closed doors...the love is in your heart...
The chosen are all of us...all of us.

Ha re Ha re...Alleluia, Namaste...Om and Amen. Praise Allah. Shalom.

The chosen few are all daughters and sons...of every nation with a Father and Mother's love.
No one will be ever denied. No one.

Ha re Ha re...Alleluia, Namaste...Om and Amen. Praise Allah. Shalom.
Ha re Ha re...Alleluia, Namaste...Om and Amen. Praise Allah. Shalom.

Children of Light

May the spark of God in me ignite and flower,
sending streamers of love and Light to you,
my many loves, on this planet of billions of souls

May each stream of ribbon-Light
touch your soul within your breast
and may flames ignite and burst from you
to ignite yet more loves

Until Adamah, the Earth Herself,
is encircled in brilliant fires of holiness
encompassing and embracing every living
earthly soul-being, rock and tree, creature and bush,
and vast immutable endless sea

Entwining all in the Oneness of
Yah/Shekinah, Yud-Hey-Vav-Hey, Elohim, El Shaddai,
and She/He-That-Has-No-Name

As God's love flows over all
may hate flow into love
may greed flow into giving
may vengeance flow into forgiveness
may indifference flow into gentleness
and may disbelief flow into Light
and understanding

May we, Children of Light,
come to realize our true Oneness
within the Universal God
of no names and many names

May we realize the uniqueness
to which we are born,
yet all of us together,
in all of our various shades and forms,
blend and meld into a Universal Wholeness
of love and Light,
a rainbow of colors of brown and gold,
yellow and red

from her book, "One Year After...and Beyond"
