Unity Church Of Clearwater

Leddy Hammock Highlights: Based on lyrics from "I Made Room for Grace" on Sue Riley's CD: "I Am Love": When I stop resisting, I get what I needed – and so much more. Rather than insisting on my own way, I open my arms in surrender. Since I made room for grace, I just stepped aside and opened up a space. Now the blessings arrive every day, since I made room for grace.

Leddy Hammock Highlights: From lyrics to "May the Light of Love" by David Roth: May the light of love be shining deep within your spirit. May the torch of mercy clear the path and show the way. May the horn of plenty sound so everyone can hear it. May the light of love be with you every day.

Leddy Hammock Highlights: From the lyrics to "Slow It Down" by Daniel Nahmod:   It's time to slow it down.  Slow it down. Slow it down now.   It's time to take a breath. Take a breath and slow it down.   It's time to look around.   Look around at where we are now, at what (who) we've become, at where we're headed. It's time to slow it down.

Sean Schrader Highlights:   From lyrics to "Here and Now" by Jana Stanfield and Paul Dolman:   It always seems there's so much space between, Where I am and where I'd like to be, And yet when I stop to look around at the good life I have found,  I can't help but see. I have all that I need. Here and now, I have all that I need, here and now.       I'm always running half a step behind, the image of my life that's in my mind,       And yet when I let myself slow down, I see beauty all around, And I'm reminded once again, I have all that I need.              Here and now, this is where I'm meant to be. And somehow, tomorrow, come what may, I will be okay as I learn to love, here and now.

Leddy Hammock Highlights: Lyrics to "The Answer," by Eddie Watkins, Jr.: Here we all are, gathered together in this place. Why are we here? What is our purpose? Spirit, reveal! How do we know what's true and what's real? We may not know where life's road will lead, but it doesn't matter, long as we believe that God is the Answer. What's goin' on in this world today? Where do we fit? What can we do to make a difference? What can we say? Where do we go, this way or that way? If we all pray and truly believe, and love one another, we'll let the world see that God is the Answer.  God is the Answer to whatever the question may be.

Leddy Hammock Highlights: Lyrics from "Let the Magic In" words & music by Sue Riley & JD Martin: When I opened my eyes, then suddenly I could let the magic in.   Now my dreams are alive. Now I know to let the magic in.   Now when I lose my way along the path, there's a trail of stars to guide me back.   I opened my heart and let the magic in!

Leddy Hammock Highlights: Lyrics to "Holy Now" by Peter Mayer "When I was a [child] … we would go to church and pay attention … and everyone would kneel and bow. Today the only difference is, everything is holy now." "When I was in Sunday school, we would learn about the time Moses split the sea in two, Jesus made the water wine. And I remember feeling sad that miracles don't happen still. But now I can't keep track, 'cause everything's a miracle." "It used to be a world half there, heaven's second rate hand-me-down. Now I walk it with a reverent air, 'cause everything is holy now." 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.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “God Is” by Rich Fagan based on the “Prayer for Protection” by James Dillet Freeman: “In the morning when I rise and before I close my eyes, Anytime I’m in despair, I just speak this little prayer – God’s light surrounds me. When the cold winds start to blow and they beat upon your door, Every night will have its dawn, hold this thought as you hold on – God’s love enfolds you. We all hear the Spirit call. It’s a small world after all. Bound together in and through this one common, simple Truth: God’s power protects us. God’s light surrounds us, God’s love enfolds us; God’s power protects us; The presence of God watches over us; Wherever we are, God is!”

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “Silver Lining” by Tom Kimmel and Jeff Franzel: “Help is on the way. Even when the sun is hiding, I know there’s a silver lining to everything. Even when I’m feeling blue, I know that I will pull through. I know there’s a silver lining to everything. I started looking for the Love that saves the day. I know there’s a silver lining to everything. Even when the sun is hiding, somewhere else the sun is shining. I know there’s a silver lining to everything.

Cynthia Mackey Lyrics from “God, You Are” by Daniel Nahmod:   God, You are every mountain. God, You are every ocean. God, You are every canyon, every inch of earth and sky.   God, You are every morning. God, You are every midnight. God, You are every moment every second of my life. God, You are every sunrise, God You Are every moonglow.   God, You are every starshine, every inch of earth and sky. God, You are every springtime, God, You are every snowfall. God, You are every season, every second of my life.   Everything I see, everything I do, everything I am is You. Everything above, everything below, everything I know is You. ‘Cause You are the very breath I breathe, and Your perfect Love created me.

Lydia Muar Inspired by the lyrics to “My Soul Is Welcome Here” by Daniel Nahmod   I’m in the right place at the right time.   I am just where I’m supposed to be.   I am getting the message loud and clear.   My soul is welcome here!

Leddy Hammock Highlights: Inspired by lyrics to “Planting Seeds” by Daniel Nahmod:   I plant good ideas. Whatever grows will grow.   Whatever is of Spirit thrives. Whatever fails will fail.   Whatever good seed I plant and praise multiplies.   What’s meant to soar will soar. We are planting seeds, nothing more.

Leddy Hammock Highlights: “There are loved ones who have moved on in both seen and unseen lands, Who will never really be gone from the joining of our hands.” “As our voices rise in union, healing flows through you and me. An accord of soul communion makes a sacred harmony.” “There’s a oneness in the Spirit and that bond shall ever be. Sing it strong so all can hear it! We are one in Unity.” “Let the circle be unbroken, by and by, Lord, by and by. Let there be no separation under Spirit’s endless sky.”

Leddy Hammock Highlights: Inspired by lyrics from “I Know God” by Denise Rosier: I have felt the Spirit stirring in my soul, deep in my soul. I will give love, I will speak peace, all because of the love that got a-hold of me — so wide open, so amazing, it takes my breath away when it occurs to me. When the Spirit in me meets the Spirit, I have felt this fire burning in my soul. In a world where so many feel lost, I know God.

Leddy Hammock From “I Am the Place where God Shows Up” by Eddie Watkins, Jr.:   “There is no spot where God is not.   I am not alone and there is nothing I have to do on my own.   I am the place where God lives and breathes and has Its being.   I am the place, you are the place, we are the place where God shows up.”

Leddy Hammock Highlights: From “All Is Grace“ by Melinda Wood Allen: Grace (peace and joy) within me; grace is all I know, Grace from the heavens; grace from the earth. Grace is all around me, everywhere I turn. All is good, all is well. All is grace, all is grace. It’s all good, I am well. In this grace, this loving grace.… All is grace, all is grace. It’s all good, I can tell. In this place, this loving place, all is grace.

Leddy Hammock Highlights: Lyrics to “Everything Changes” by Sue Riley and Tom Kimmel When everything changes, I can change anything. Turning the pages, everything’s new. If life’s little stages are teaching me anything, it’s everything changes and I can change, too. When everything changes, I can change anything. Turning the pages, everything’s new. If life’s little stages are teaching me anything, it’s everything changes and I can change, too.

Leddy Hammock Highlights: Lyrics to “No One Gets to Heaven [If Anybody Else Is Left Behind]”: by Tom Kimmel & Klaus Caprani: “No one gets to heaven if anybody else is left behind.” “There is a light in the dark when we need it the most.” “There is a way through this world if we keep this in mind ….” “We’ll meet on that heavenly shore in the sweet by and by. No one gets to heaven if anybody else is left behind.”

Carol Record Highlights: Inspired by Myrtle Fillmore’s Healing Letters & “This Is What I Know” by Jan Garrett: Each of us is “a child of God” (MFHL). “This is what I know: That we are all connected, the universe reflected in each shining part” (JG). “Be still and know…. I rest in the assurance that… all is well” (MFHL). God is “nearer than my breathing, closer than hands and feet” (JG). “The Spirit of God” … stands “forth in the individual as the expression of divine ideas from the mind of Being” (MFHL). “And so I receive all I can be…” (JG). We find that if we “just love folks and live happily among them, they will love” us (MFHL). “And so it is, and so be it.” When I know it, “I can see it…. and now we begin…. Amen, amen, amen!” (JG).
