Leddy Hammock From the words of The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together…. With this faith, we will be able . . . to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day…. Let freedom ring!”

Leddy Hammock 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.” “‘Cause here I go, deeper, deeper, deeper than I’ve ever been before. Here I go, closer, closer, closer to my sacred Source. 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 Inspired by lyrics to “Who You Really Are” Richard Mekdeci, Sage & Sue Riley “I know who you really are – I see it in your eyes. Oh, you are a shining star – I know who you really are! Oh, I know who you’re here to be – I see it in your eyes: A light for the world to see – I know who you’re here to be…. Oh, I know who you really are – I see it in your eyes. Oh, you are a shining star – I know who you really are. I now release the limits of the past and let my light shine in this bright New Year. Peace begins with me in 2023!

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Emmanuel” by Claudia Carawan Once, a tiny baby slept beneath the stars of a long, dark night. This child, an answer to our prayers, our hopes and dreams and longing for the light. And now, the time has come to celebrate this baby’s birth and vow to do our best to bear His light upon this earth. I welcome the gift of this love with the joy of receiving. I welcome the light to my heart with all of my being. Welcome to my heart, sweet and holy Child. Shine your light on me, Emmanuel.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Be the Light” by Karen Drucker and Claudia Carawan Like a candle flame in a window pane, or embers burning by the fireside, as we celebrate, we illuminate, the light we shine is multiplied. And the angels sing, with the love that we bring. In the blackest night, there’s a shining light, shining so bright. Be the light that shines in the dark. Be the hope, all it takes is a spark. If love is to be, it all starts with you and me. Be the light!

Inspired by lyrics to “Stables” by Peter Mayer: Make of my heart a cradle, Lord, so Love will come and lay there. Make of my heart a shelter, Lord, so Love will come and stay there. Make of my heart a manger, Lord, where Love’s the only answer. Make of my heart a stable, Lord, glowing with light for miles in the darkness, so Love will find its way there.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Search the Sky” by Sloan Wainwright: Search the sky for that star—star of light, star of love, bright enough to guide believers from afar. Let there be peace around our troubled world, peace within ourselves. We’ve traveled such a long way. Let us not forget what for. And when we gaze upon that star of light, star of love, we hope for the only gift: peace around our trouble world, peace within ourselves. Search the face of the Child, shining with the spirit of Christmases in our heart.

Leddy Hammock My life is in order and I am ready to receive my good. I do not make excuses. I make ready. My mind is now open, my heart is receptive to be healed and happy. I am open to give love and to receive love, to love and to be loved.

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “May the Light of Love” by David Roth As we come around to take our places at the table, a moment to remember and reflect upon our wealth. Here’s to loving friends and family, here’s to being able to gather here together in good company and health. 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 Inspired by “I Made Room for Grace” by Sue Riley): When I stumble, I won’t be defeated, since I make room for grace. I stop resisting. I make room for grace. I just step aside, open up a space, and make room for grace. Now the blessings arrive every day, since I made room for grace.

Leddy Hammock I practice an attitude of gratitude. My prayers are answered as I share generously from my grateful heart. The grateful heart draws to itself great things. Perfect answers take form as I keep a good and grateful attitude.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “The Part of Me that Is You” by Sue Riley & Richard Mekdeci: “When the world tells me I’m less than whole, I hear these words, spoken from my soul: ‘A Child of Mine will not inherit disease.’ I am a Child of peace. The part of me that is You knows only health and wholeness. The part of me that is You knows only love and joy. The part of me that is You is divine and ageless, like a compass pointing to a north that’s true. Then I remember what my heart already knows. When I feel my back’s against the wall, I hear a voice say, ‘Fight!’ but I refuse the call. As Your Child, I choose the higher road and I know You’ll always be there if I fall. You are the Truth of who I am. I am a Child of peace. When my self-respect is fading fast, frozen in the present, Haunted by the past, I look in the mirror and I see Your face and I remember what my heart already has. I bless the part of me that is You.”–the fairest of the fair.

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “There for You” by Roger Tomhave, Claudia Carawan, & Melinda Wood Allen: If God had hands, there’d only be one on your shoulder. If God could speak, the words would bless everything you do. Take my hand, I’ll stand beside you. Together we’ll make it through. Take my love, now and always, I will be there for you. If God has ears, they’d listen to what you’re saying. If God has eyes, they’d see the wonder that is you. If God had legs, they’d go with you on your journey, But God has me and I’ll be there for you.

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “Meet You where You Are” by Melinda Wood Allen & David Roth: Oh my friend, I will meet you where you are. I won’t throw flower petals on your wounded heart. If it’s not okay we won’t pretend, But if it’s not okay, it’s not the end. Aren’t you stronger than you ever used to be? At least that’s the way it seems to me, if not to you. Aren’t you the one who’s made it all this way? No matter what those voices in your head might say, it’s up to you. This too shall pass. There are times that are simply not okay. What you do with them, it’s up to you to say. I’ll meet you where you are.

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!”
