Lyrics

Amazing Grace by John Newton. 3rd verse by Trina Brunk

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a soul like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

‘Twas Grace that taught my heart to sing
And Grace my song released
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed

There is a home within our hearts
A place where we are free
The circle there, it holds all things
And we are family

When we’ve been there 10,000 years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
than when we’ve first begun

when I walk through through this world with a heart of humility
when an open heart is the friend that guides my mind
my ears are opened up and my eyes can see
the unity of all of humankind
will you please open your heart to the possibility that we are all on the same side?
will you connect with your courage when you feel you need to hide?
I don’t know any other way, we each have our part to play.
we’re here together and we’re watching it rise
we’re seeing the future with our own sweet eyes
we’re giving it our best
and we know it’s a journey but we
are all in this together and we’re loving so well.
it’s all good, it’s all right, and we’re leaving, leaving the fight (2x)
This is our main task at hand because only love will heal this land (2x)
yes only love will heal this land.

For all that needs to be healed I ask for healing
For all that needs to be healed I ask for healing with arms open wide,
in this everpresent ocean of love I am a wave of peace
om shanti hari om

In the moment the truth stands revealed I open to seeing
in the moment the truth stands revealed I open to seeing (with a heart full of love),
In the moment the truth stands revealed I open to see it clearly, oh,

for all who need to be healed I ask for healing,
for all who need to be healed I ask for healing,
for those whose moment has come and gone, and those who are yet to come
I live in you, you live in me, we are one:

For all that needs to be healed I ask for healing
For all that needs to be healed I ask for healing with arms open wide,
in this everpresent ocean of love I am a wave of peace
om shanti hari om

om shanti shanti shanti, om shanti hari om

I've spent enough time looking through windows
I find that I'm ready to walk through the door
I see you before me here in this moment
This is the moment I've been waiting for

This path emerges the moment we walk it
We are the way peace moves on the earth
Being created new in each moment
witnessing planetary rebirth

Breathe in the world
Breathe in the world
Breathe in the love that breathes you
Breathe in the world
Breathe in the world
Breathe in the love that breathes you

I am the way light dances in matter
I am duality made whole
Cannot be lost or changed in my essence
Cannot be broken, damaged or sold

Heal in one moment years of oppression
Leaving behind old wounds and grief
We are the way Love moves on the planet
Nothing can change that we are free

I've spent enough time dancing in shadows
I feel the wind of God in the door
Meeting your spirit here in this moment
We are the ones we've been waiting for

Breathe in the Life
Breathe in the Joy
Breathe in the Peace that breathes you

Living on Grace
Being the One
Finding the truth within you

Breathe in the world
Breathe out your love
Breathe through the pain that binds you

Breathe in the pain
Breathe out your love
Breathe through the lies and breathe out your truth
Fill up your lungs
Let it all out
Leave all your effort behind you

Life is the joy that breathes you

We are the laughter, we are the children
We are the elders opening doors
Spirit breathes through us here in this moment
Oneness with you is what I'm here for

Breathe in the world
Breathe in the world
breathe in the love that breathes you
breathe in the world
Breathe out your love
Back to the Love that breathes us all

When will the rain come again
I’ve done my best, I’ve done my part but the earth is scorched just like my heart
I’m longing for the sky to open wide
but the raindrops hide
and where’s the peace you promised me
I’ve searched and dug for prophecy but just don’t feel it coming my way
I don’t know why.
please open sky, please open sky, please open sky.

i could kiss the stars the other day
now they feel so far away

Not going home yet, oh you feel so tired
want to lay this body down
Take to the clouds next time one comes round
gonna leave this barren ground
you’ve always been one to live life true
you’ve built half a bridge to the sky
but you know in your heart it’s not just up to you
and you need an answering sign

Oh forgiveness is the bridge that takes you there.
Break your heart open wide
feel the rain come in your soul
and it will flow.
it will flow, it will flow, it will flow

Please know
that you will flow

I am made of stardust
but my toes grow deep into the earth
my branches stretch through aeons
but this moment is my birth
Awakening now
I realize
that I’ve always been looking through
God’s eyes
I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM

I’m looking at you
and I realize
that I’ve always been looking into
God’s eyes
I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM
thank you for being the song that I sing
thank you for being my friend
thank you for being the child in my arms
for the sun and the rain and the winds

you are beloved
more than you can guess
all the days of your life
abundantly blessed
singing I am the river and I am the sea
everything I long for is a part of me
I am the river and I am the sea
everything I long for is a part of me
I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM

I am made of stardust
but my toes grow deep into the earth
my branches stretch through aeons
but this moment is my birth
Awakening now I realize
that I’ve always been looking through
God’s eyes
I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM

Precious Spirit, I’m in your hands
In your light I choose to stand
I release and open to your healing grace
and you give me all I need
and my deepest hunger feed
precious spirit, in your presence I am home.

In the here, in the now
without needing to know how
in the strength of your love i am free
through the storm, I know your power
you hold me through my darkest hour
precious spirit, in your presence, I am home.

You were supposed to be the one God sent to rescue me
to heal my wounds & make me free
you said you wanted to marry me
but all of that was too good to be true
'cause the moment after we said "I do"
you told me you wanted rescuing, too
I didn't come here just to be your knight
I'm the princess, that's MY right
get back on your horse, go find a dragon to slay
turns out I could be glad you're not the slaying kind
'cause some days, I'm the dragon in your mind
So I went to God one night
I said "this person you sent, he's really no knight
he doesn't want to take care of me
and I'm stuck with him now,
what's gonna happen to me?
I don't wanna play this game anymore
if you sent him, then what is he for?
God laughed and said, "you're gonna be okay.
if you look inside your heart, you're gonna find your way."
So I looked inside my heart
and the love I found ignited a spark
lit up a universe inside of me
full of strength and possibility
I found that freedom needs to be shared to be really free
I realized I don't depend on you
to live the way I wanted to
'cause I am strong and so are you
now day by day I'm finding love within
and when you do the same, I love that we both win
when I leave my expectations behind,
I can catch a glimpse of what God had in mind . . .

the River Traditional

the River she is flowing, flowing and growing
the River she is flowing, down to the sea
Mother carry me, your child I will always be
Father carry me down to the sea
