Blessed Be
Faith Rivera and Sue Riley
Gonna set it free, let things be
Let the thrill of life carry me
‘cause now I know, I’m in the flow
I’m finally free, Oh, blessed be
(repeat chorus)
Life unfolds with grace and ease
Endless possibilities
They’re everywhere, they’ve always been
When I choose to let them in
Chorus 2 times
I’ve outgrown those smaller dreams
The way they used to limit me
I make the space, invite love in
Magic fills my life again
Chorus 2 times
There’s something bigger calling me
to follow where my passion leads
I trust that flow, don’t need to know
I dance ~~ into the great unknown
Gonna set it free, let things be
Let the thrill of life carry me
‘cause now I know, I’m in the flow
I’m finally free, Oh, blessed be
Dandelion Dreams
Glen Roethel, Penny Nichols, Sue Riley, Chris Kunstadter
I am dreaming You can't stop me
People pulling me all directions
Good intentions
Manifesting with my blessing
My new direction, certain
Through with guessing
This is the way it's gonna be
Life is a flower, blooming for me
My dandelion dreams. My dandelion dreams
Waves are crashing, Winds are blowing
May not know where I'm going
But, I am going
This is the way it's gonna be
Life is a flower, blooming for me
My dandelion dreams
My dandelion dreams
Sweet as sunshine
Flowing down like rain
Hey, possibilities, you know - my - name
After the blossom, I'm tossin' the seeds
Into the wind, I'm setting them free
My dandelion dreams. My dandelion dreams
My dandelion dreams. My dandelion dreams.

Second Chances
Harold Payne and Sue Riley
Second chances, second chances
Reflecting on the things I’ve done
Second chances, second chances
Knowing that the best is yet to come
Cast a stone out on the endless sea of possibilities
Watch the ripple flowing, trusting, never knowing where it leads
Second chances, second chances
There’s something waiting round the bend
Second chances, second chances
Ready now to take a leap again
Cast a stone out on the endless sea of possibilities
Watch the ripple flowing, trusting, never knowing where it leads
All my tears and all my fears subside
And all these dreams
on mended wings will fly
Second chances, second chances
Reflecting on the things I’ve done
Second chances, second chances
Knowing that the best is yet to come
All my tears and all my fears subside
And all these dreams
on mended wings will fly
Second chances, second chances
Here I go again
The Goodness of God
Words and Music Sue Riley
These are the hands, This is the voice,
to celebrate the goodness of God.
I lift up my hands, I lift up my voice,

So as we wait, our hearts wide open, wide open, fill us we pray
That we may walk in the fullness, the fullness, the wonder
of Your grace.
These are the hands, This is the voice,

a whisper sweet and clear
And it is then that we discover, we
discover, Your presence ever near
Ours are the hands, Ours is the voice, to celebrate
the goodness of God.

I Made Room for Grace
Melinda Wood Allen, Sue Riley
I used to think I had to have my own way
Could do everything on my own
Living my life like a one-woman play
Feeling confused and alone
I held on tight to the life that I knew
Till it wasn’t the life I remembered
Finally admitted, I hadn’t a clue
Opened my arms in surrender
And I made room for grace
I just stepped aside
Opened up a space
Now the blessings arrive ev’ry day
Since I made room for grace
I want to live without making demands
Asking for help when I need it
Being happy, just doing the best that I can
When I stumble I won’t be defeated
‘Cause I made room for grace
I just stepped aside
Opened up a space
Now the blessings arrive every day
Since I made room for grace
If I had insisted on all that I wanted
I see I’d have sold myself short
But when I stopped resisti
ng I got what I needed
And so...much...more...
Since I made room for grace
I just stepped aside
Opened up a space
Now the blessings arrive ev’ry day
Since I made room for grace. Since I made room for grace.
My Every Notion
Words and Music by Sue Riley and Glen Roethel
Words I say come back to me
My every notion puts energy in motion
I choose my words carefully
My every notion puts energy in motion
With my thoughts I build my life
Anew, anew, a new life.
As I speak my words of power
My every notion puts energy in motion
My life opens like a flower
My every notion puts energy in motion
Words and thoughts are seeds that grow
And this is why I know
My every notion puts energy in motion
My every notion puts energy in
motion
My every notion puts energy in motion
My every notion puts energy in
motion
I know, what you say is what you get, what you say is what you get
A lifetime guaranteed sure bet, that
what you say is what you get
When I feel I’ve lost my way,
My every notion puts energy in motion
I find perfect words to say
My every notion puts energy in motion
I look within, I make a choice I take a
breath, I lift my voice
Ahh. Ahhhh.....ahh
My every notion puts energy in motion
My every notion puts energy in
motion
My every notion puts energy in motion
My every notion puts energy in
motion
May You Know God
Words and Music by Don Lansky, Patricia Gulino Lansky, Sue Riley,
Karen Taylor Good, and Laurence Elder
May you rejoice in the new life within you
As you release the old and worn.
Open your heart with
praise and thanksgiving
May you see God.
May you awake to a world of beauty,
lifted up from times of tears.
Aware of the grace that
tenderly carries you
May you see God, May you feel God.
Was there a time in your life
You might have glimpsed something unseen?
Now, you can believe it’s real
May you look back on a life sweet with mem’ries
Understanding all was right
And, in the whisper
of your last breath
May you see God, May you feel God
May you know God.
It’s Up To Me

If it’s to be it’s up to me
If I’m feeling stressed - let me stop and rest
If I’m feeling hurt- let me forgive

I Choose Love
Words and Music by Sue Riley and Karen Taylor Good
Peace in my life is growing because
I choose love
Love’s always present, it’s what I’m made of
I choose love
We are a part of each other, we are one
One tie that binds us that can’t be undone
I choose love
Peace in my family is growing because I choose love
Let love be present, it’s what we’re made of
I choose love
We are a part of each other, we are one
One loving family, sharing one sun
I choose love
Peace for our planet is growing because
I choose love
Let love be present, it's what we're made of
I choose love
We are all part of each other, we are one
One choice unites us, let this be the one
I choose love, I choose love, I choose love
What I Seek
Words and Music by Sue Riley and Jana Stanfield
The whisper that I hear in my heart,
telling me it’s time to start
Set my inhibitions free, become the me I’m here to be.
So, I’ll act brave as if I am, act “as if” until I can
Live each day as though I know, that
What I seek is seeking me
Even when that’s hard to see
I choose faith, so I believe
What I seek is seeking me, oh yeah
What I seek is seeking me
It’s time to just let go of my fear
Trusting that the net will appear
Believing things I know are true
In everything I say and do
So, I’ll act brave as if I am, act “as if” until I can
Live each day as though I know, that
What I seek is seeking me
Even when that’s hard to see
I choose faith, so I believe
What I seek is seeking me, oh yeah
What I seek is seeking me
When every day’s a daily grind
Peace is something I can’t find
This is what I keep in mind
What I seek is seeking me
Even when that’s hard to see
I choose faith, so I believe
What I seek is seeking me, oh yeah
What I seek is seeking me
Why Not Me?
Words and Music by Sue Riley
I’m standing at a party, talking to some friends
They fall in love
before the night ends
No hesitation, hearts open wide
If I let down my guard, would love be my prize?
Hand in hand, they walk away
These are the words I wish I could say
Why not me? Am I pushing you away?
Do I seem to have everything I need?
Look at me; Do you see me as I am?
Or, do you even see me at all? Why not me?
I have a heart, gentle and large
With wide open spaces
and one or two scars
I’m not afraid to try love again
If you looked at me as more than a friend
Have I forgotten how to send out the signs?
If love is the message,
You can’t read my mind.
Why not me? Am I pushing you away?
Do I seem to have everything I need?
Look at me; Do you see me as I am?
Or, do you even see me at all? Why not me?
Taking off my armor, laying down my shield
Not leaving here till I tell you how I feel
Why not me? I’m not pushing you away
Don’t you see I have everything you need
Look at me, really see me as I am
I’m strong yet I’m tender,
ready to receive
Love’s possibilities
Why not me?
Who You Become
Words and Music by Sue Riley and Jana Stanfield
Keep your eyes on the prize,
but don’t fret if you stray
Because the most important thing is who you become along the way
It’s how you love, how you live
How you laugh, how you give
Yes, the most important thing is who you become along the way
People pushing, shoving, rushing, stressing faster every day
Losing their composure at the tiniest delay
Always multi-tasking, still thinking they’re behind
When I see that this is me,
I bring this song to mind.
Keep your eyes on the prize,
but don’t fret if you stray
Because the most important thing is who you become along the way
It's how you love, how you live
How you laugh, how you give
Yes, the most important thing is who you become along the way
It’s easy to believe we’re in
a race to get things done
A race to get ahead, to prove we’re number one
Does it have to be a contest
with the one in front of you?
What if we agree let’s slow it down a notch or two?
Keep your eyes on the prize,
but don’t fret if you stray
Because the most important thing is who you become along the way
It’s how you love, how you live
How you laugh, how you give
Yes, the most important thing is who you become along the way
