Let us sing of the beauty within.

Oh, hear the Earth tell that all shall be well.

3 Amazing Grace 1 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.

How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.

3 Thru many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come

‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home.

To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away

C I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away (in the morning)

In the Garden 1 I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses

And the voice I hear falling on my ear, the son of God discloses.

C And he walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me I am his own.

And the joy we share, as we tarry there, none other has ever known.

2 He speaks and the sound of his voice is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that he gave to me, within my heart is ringing.

(repeat chorus)

3 I’d stay in the garden with him, tho the night around me be falling.

But he bids me go; Through the voice of woe, his voice to me is calling.

(repeat chorus)

Return Again Jewish Traditional

Return to where you are born and reborn again.


(repeat)

Somewhere Over the Rainbow Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,

There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I’ll wish upon a star,

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me,

Where trouble melts like lemon drops,

Away above the chimney tops;

That’s where you’ll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow, why, then, on why can’t I?

If tiny little bluebirds fly above the rainbow,

Why, oh why can’t I?

His Eye Is On the Sparrow 1 Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come?

Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,

When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He.

His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me.

May the Road Rise to Meet You (Words altered by Howard Hangar)

May the sun shine warm upon your face

May the rain fall softly on your fields

And till we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of a hand.

I Can See Clearly Now by Johnny Nash

I can see clearly now the rain is gone,

I can see all obstacles in my way.

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.

It’s gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day


Yes, I can make it now the pain is gone,

All of the bad feelings have disappeared.

Here is the rainbow I have been praying for.


Look all around, there’s nothing but blue skies

Look straight ahead, there’s nothing but blue skies

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Here is the rainbow I have been praying for.

20 How Could Anyone Music & Lyrics: Libby Roderick

© 1990 Turtle Island Records

How could anyone ever tell you

you were anything less than beautiful?

How could anyone ever tell you

you were less than whole?

How could anyone fail to notice

that your loving is a miracle?

How deeply you’re connected to my Soul…

21

The Ash Grove The ash grove how graceful

How plainly ‘tis speaking

The harp wind thru its playing has language for me.

Whenever the light thru its branches is breaking

a host of kind faces is gazing on me.

The friends of my childhood again are before me

each step wakes a memory as freely I roam.

With soft whispers laden its leaves rustle o’er me

The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home.

Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander

when twilight is fading I pensively rove.

Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander

amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove.

Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing

I first met the dear one, the joy of my heart

Around us for gladness the bluebells were springing

The ash grove, the ash grove that sheltered my home.

22 God of Love To the tune of “Edelweis”

1 God of love, God of love, Fill my heart with your treasure Let me share, let me care, Let me move without measure. Mother of love, let me be like you, Kind and true forever God of love, God of love, Love me now and forever. 2 God of light, God of light, Hold my life in your keeping. Let me find peace of mind, Guard me, waking or sleeping. Father of light, guide me every day All the way forever. God of light, God of light, Lead me onward forever.

Day by Day Day by day, oh dear Lord three things I pray. To see thee more clearly Love thee more dearly Follow thee more nearly Day by day, day by day (repeat)

It’s in Every One of Us It’s in every one of us to be wise It’s in every one of us to be wise Find your heart Find your heart Open up all your eyes Open up all your eyes We can all love everything We can all know everything Without ever knowing why Without ever knowing why It’s in every one of us you and I. It’s in every one of us bye and bye.

23 How Great Thou Art 1 O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed. C Then sings my soul, o Lord, My God to thee; How great thou art; how great thou art. Then sings my soul, o Lord, My God to thee; How great thou art; how great thou art. 2 Thy holy name in joyful praise remember, Thou art, o Lord, my staff, my life, my rod. O Christ within, thou art my inner splendor From which does come eternal life in God. (repeat chorus)

3 In thy great love my heart to thee is faithful; I dare to say, “thy will be done, not mine”. My soul is free in praise forever grateful. My life in thee with Spirit one entwined. (repeat chorus)

You’ll Never Walk Alone When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high,

And don’t be afraid of the dark.

At the end of the storm is a golden sky, and the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain,

Though your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you’ll never walk alone

You’ll never walk alone.

24 The Rose 1 Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need I say love, it is a flower, and you, its only seed

2 It’s the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance It’s the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance It’s the one who won’t be taken, who cannot seem to give And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live 3 When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows Lies the seed, that with the sun’s love in the spring becomes the rose

25 Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen

1 Now, I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing hallelujah C Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah 2 Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the hallelujah (repeat chorus)

3 You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken hallelujah (repeat chorus)

4 I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the lord of song With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah (repeat chorus)

(repeat chorus)

26 Every Time I Feel the Spirit traditional spiritual

C Every time I feel the spirit moving in my heart, I will pray, Every time I feel the spirit moving in my heart, I will pray. 1 Up on the mountain when my lord spoke, out of his mouth came fire and smoke.

Looked all around me, it looked so fine and I asked my lord if all were mine. (repeat chorus)

My home is over Jordan. Deep river, Lord, I wanna cross over into campground. Southwind traditional Celtic

Oh, Southwind of the gentle breeze, you banish winter weather. Bring salmon to the pool again, the bees among the heather. If northward now you mean to blow, as you rustle soft above me, Godspeed be with you as you go, and a kiss to those that love me. From south I come with velvet breeze. My word all nature blesses. I melt the snow and strew the leaves with flowers and warm caresses. I'll help you to dispel your woes. With Joy I'll take your greeting and bear it to your loved Mayo upon my wings so fleeting.

Let me call you sweetheart Let me call you sweetheart; I'm in love with you. Let me hear you whisper that you love me too. Keep the love light glowing in your heart so true. Let me call you sweetheart, I'm in love with you.

Side by side Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money Maybe we're ragged and funny But we'll travel along, singing a song – side by side I don't know what's a'comin' tomorrow maybe it's trouble and sorrow but we'll travel the road, sharing our load side by side. Through all kinds of weather, what if the sky should fall? Just as long as we're together, it doesn't matter at all. When they've all had their quarrels and parted, We'll be the same as we started Just traveling along, singing a song, side by side.

I'll be loving you I'll be loving you always with a love that's true, always. When the things we've planned need a helping hand, I will understand, always, always. Days may not be fair, always. That's when I'll be there, always. Not for just an hour, not for just a day, Not for just a year, but always.

29

Happy Trails Happy trails to you until we meet again. Happy trails to you. Keep smiling on till then. Who cares about the clouds when we're together? Just sing a song and think 'bout sunny weather. Happy trails to you, till we meet again.

Sunny side of the street Grab your coat and get your hat. Leave your worry on the doorstep. Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street. Can't you hear a pitter pat? And that happy tune is your step. Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street. I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade, but I'm not afraid--this rover crossed over. If I never have a cent, I'll be rich as Rockefeller, gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street.

30

Keep on the sunny side

1 There's a dark and a troubled side of life. There's a bright and sunny side too When we meet with the darkness and strife, the sunny side we also may view. C Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side. Keep on the sunny side of life. It will help us everyday; it will brighten all the way if we keep on the sunny side of life. 2 Though the storm in its fury break today, crushing hopes that we cherish so dear. Storm and cloud will in time pass away. The sun again will shine bright and clear.

(repeat chorus)

3 Let us greet with a song of hope each day, though the moments be cloudy or fair. Let us trust in our savior always who keepeth everyone in his (her) care.

(repeat chorus)

31

What a wonderful world I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and you and I say to myself--what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night, and I think to myself--what a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky are also in the faces of people passing by. I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do? They're really saying, I love you. I hear babies crying. I watch them grow. They'll learn much more than I'll ever know, and I think to myself, what a wonderful world. Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Angel band

1 The latest sun is sinking fast; my race is nearly run. My strongest trials now are past; my triumph is begun. C O come, angel band. Come and around me stand. O bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home. O bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home. 2 I know I'm near the holy ranks of friends and kindred dear. I've brushed the dew on Jordan's banks; the crossing must be near. (repeat chorus)

3 I've almost gained my Heavenly home; my spirit loudly sings. The holy ones, behold they come; I hear the noise of wings. (repeat chorus)
