Alabaster Heart
Words by Leddy Hammock, Music by Sue K Riley

Here in the presence, when the student is ready,
the Teacher appears.
Truth is the essence calling ever so gently,
My Child, come here.
I have chosen the better part, it shall not be taken from me

I hunger and thirst for truth when I hear it, the message divine
Seeking first, the kingdom of Spirit, then all else is mine
I have an open heart, one thing I need

The Teacher is here and calling for me, at the feet of the Master
My alabaster heart overflows with the sweetest devotion
Filling the house with the fragrance, from my alabaster heart.

Breaking apart the seal of the vessel of alabaster pure.
Tears from my heart, ointment so precious, anointing the Master
The feet of the Master, dried with my hair
Filling the house with the fragrance of prayer.

The Teacher is here and calling for me, at the feet of the Master
My alabaster heart overflows with the sweetest devotion
Filling the house with the fragrance, from my alabaster heart.

One thing I ask, Lord, show Your way.
Your word a path, make me understand.

The Teacher is here and calling for me, at the feet of the Master
My alabaster heart overflows with the sweetest devotion
Filling the house with the fragrance, from my alabaster heart.

Center Me
Words by Leddy Hammock, Music by Sue K Riley

The chosen ones, in Truth discerning, choosing the high road
Find their way, find their way
The chosen ones, open to learning, judge not by appearances
First, they pray, first they pray

Center me, in the Presence of the Lord
Center me, center me, center me

Wisdom is at the right hand, the right hand of the Lord
Center me, center me
Still me 'til I understand, with wisdom at my right hand
Center me, center me

Center me, in the Presence of the Lord
Center me, center me, center me

Justice and compassion, balanced be.
Righteousness and mercy, blessed be

Love is at the heart side, the heart side of the Lord
Center me, center me
Still me 'til I can decide, with love at my heart side
Center me, center me

Center me, in the Presence of the Lord
Center me, center me, center me

Divine Order
Words by Leddy Hammock, Music by Sue K Riley

Let there be less of me
Let there by more of Thee
Less of the human, more of the divine
Less that belongs to me, more that is Thine
More of God’s nature, less that is mine

Order and harmony now are in place
Where there is harmony, discord will cease
Where there is harmony, there will be peace

Not personality, individuality
More of the Christ self, shining through me
Teach me humility; let me your servant be
Give me serenity, selfless and free

Order and harmony now are in place
Where there is harmony, discord will cease
Where there is harmony, there will be peace

Let there be less of me
Let there by more of Thee
Less of the human, more of the divine

Do You See Anything New in Me?
Words by Leddy Hammock, Music by Sue K Riley

Do you see anything new in me?
Is there a kind of glow on my face?
In a moment bright, soft as the moonlight,
A messenger came to me, touched me with grace.

Shelter me, Holy Spirit, whisper to me from above
So forever my heart will hear it,
Nothing's impossible for love,
Nothing's impossible for love.

"Something new, is being born through you"
These were the gentle words I seemed to hear.
Thought you say, there is no outer way
There is an inner way, so have no fear.

Shelter me, Holy Spirit, whisper to me from above
So forever my heart will hear it,
Nothing's impossible for love,
Nothing's impossible for love.

I am reflecting upon the message that Love brought.
I am beloved of God, born of a pure thought.

Shelter me, Holy Spirit, whisper to me from above
So forever my heart will hear it,
Nothing's impossible for love,
Nothing's impossible for love.

Do you see anything new in me?
The Lord is with me, the Lord is with me.

Don't Ask Me to Give Up this Dream
Words by Leddy Hammock, Music by Sue K Riley

With my back to the past, I let ev’rything go
I am leaving behind me the life I have known
In this meadow of memories, nothing can grow
I am leaving the life I have known.

There are those who will say it is safer to stay
Where the voices around me all call me by name
But, I’ll follow the longing that leads me away,
From the voices that call me by name

Don’t ask me to give up this dream
Wherever it takes me, I’ll go
No matter how hopeless this journey may seem
Don’t ask me to give up this dream
Ah*ah

I will gather my good from the seeds of the past,
My blessing will come by the work of my hands
From the heat of the day to the sunset at last,
I’ll be blessed by the work of my hands

Don’t ask me to give up this dream
Wherever it takes me, I’ll go
No matter how hopeless this journey may seem
Don’t ask me to give up this dream
Ah*ah

Don’t ask me to give up this dream
Wherever it takes me, I’ll go
No matter how hopeless this journey may seem
Don’t ask me to give up this dream
Ah*ah

Imagining
Words by Leddy Hammock, Music by Sue K Riley

I close my eyes, and behold the Image
The eyes of the Infinite, beholding me
All through the ages, so tenderly gazing
With love and compassion, enfolding me

In the Temple that is prayer, you will find me there.

I am imagining what the fullness of time will bring.
I have seen many days, singing songs of praise
Fasting from shadows, living on Light

In the Temple that is prayer, you will find me there.

Thoughts held in mind are mirrored in kind around me
Reflecting in kind in all that I see

In the Temple that is prayer, you will find me there.

Leave Those Walls Behind
Words by Leddy Hammock, Music by Sue K Riley

Sounds of the city, the life I knew,
Fade in the background and drift away.
As I turn to face the window, to the open blue
New life is calling to me

It says, “Come with me, Beloved, leave those walls behind,
For a land of milk and honey, a promised land, leave those walls
behind."

Oh, I’ve taken care of others, of ev’ryone but me
Closed in these walls, no room to breathe,
I can only save them by choosing to be free
New life is calling to me

It says, “Come with me, Beloved, leave those walls behind,
For a land of milk and honey, a promised land, leave those walls
behind."

No more looking out with longing, hiding here within
Now I fin’ly have the courage to step outside.
I’ve shaken off my sorrow, no more waiting to begin
New life is calling to me

It says, “Come with me, Beloved, leave those walls behind,
For a land of milk and honey, a promised land, leave those walls
behind."
Oh, ah, oh, ah, oh, ah, oh

Nothing is Impossible
Words by Leddy Hammock, Music by Sue K Riley

I am standing at the gate of unlimited possibility,
I 'm ready for the blessings only Spirit can bestow.
I’m now open and receptive for the good that’s bound to come to me.
This I know, and I know that I know:

Nothing is impossible; it is never too late.
Nothing is too much for God, no challenge too great
Hold onto your faith, the Truth will be reveled.
Nothing's incurable, all things can be healed.

Faith is the power to receive and to give form
It takes hold of desire when you believe,
You walk on water, even through the storm.
What I believe, I can conceive,
Thank God in faith, I will receive.

Pour Over Me, Holy Spirit
Words by Leddy Hammock, Music by Sue K Riley

Pour over me Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart and comfort me
Pour over me Holy Spirit, help me know how to let go
Pour over me Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart and comfort me
Pour over me Holy Spirit, help me know how to let go

With the setting of the sun, I now let drift away,
everything and everyone, that can no longer stay

Pour over me Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart and comfort me
Pour over me Holy Spirit, help me know how to let go
Pour over me Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart and comfort me
Pour over me Holy Spirit, help me know how to let go

In the scented evening air, let living water flow
Bathe my many fears and cares, I release and I let go

Pour over me Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart and comfort me
Pour over me Holy Spirit, help me know how to let go
Pour over me Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart and comfort me
Pour over me Holy Spirit, help me know how to let go

Baptism of tears, clear my vision
Bathe me in peace, reveal my mission

Pour over me Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart and comfort me
Pour over me Holy Spirit, help me know how to let go
Pour over me Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart and comfort me
Pour over me Holy Spirit, help me know how to let go

Remember Who You Are
Words by Leddy Hammock, Music by Sue K Riley

You stood at the crossroads, silent and stronger
Opened your window and waited no longer
Gleaned in the fields, for the leavings of others,
You're the wives and the daughters, the sisters and mothers.
Without you, all this could not have happened.
You are all the women, you made things happen there

Do not tell me you are afraid then,
Remember who you are
You're all the women of power that have ever been
Remember who you are, remember.

You bathed in the moonlight, rose in the new morn.
Widow or wife, you have cradled the newborn.
Prayed in the temple, gave birth in the stable,
Followed His footsteps, and served Him at table.
Without you, all this could not have happened.
You are all the women, you made things happen there.

When My Moment Comes
Words by Leddy Hammock, Sue K Riley

I stand alone, I close my eyes and wait
Against the wind, steady and strong
I am unmoved, for I am not afraid,
I stand and wait, for I know how to wait, I’m holding on

Beneath this veil of who I seem to be
Truth is the staff I lean upon
I come to claim what has been promised me
And give my heart, that was a broken heart, a brand new dawn

For when my moment comes, when my moment comes
Like the phoenix I’ll arise, when it comes

Like a seal upon my heart, my sacred destiny, a brand new start

For when my moment comes, when my moment comes
Like the phoenix I’ll arise, when it comes

When You Will
Words by Leddy Hammock, Music by Sue K Riley

Worrying and working, pacing 'cross the floor
Burdened with much serving, when will He, when will she,
When will they help me do this MY way?
If I do not do these things, who will, who will?
How can I possibly be still?

Then, the Master came, He called me by my name
Over, and over because He loves me
Gently He told me, "You are anxious and worried,
Over so many things, but only one thing is needed, you will see.
You will live, you will be, your hopes will rise again, when you will."

Watching by the window, waiting by the door
Anxiously I waited, when will He, when will she,
When will they make this happen my way.
If I cannot do this who will, who will?
Master, teach me to be still.

Then, the Master came, He called me by my name
Over, and over because He loves me
Gently He told me, "You are anxious and worried,
Over so many things, but only one thing is needed, you will see.
You will live, you will be, your hopes will rise again, when you will."

Good and only good, is Your will for me
Let it be, Your will
Let Your will be done, not mine, O Lord
This is what I will, I am still.

You will see, You will live, you will be,
Your hopes will rise again, when you will.
Your hopes will rise again, when you will.
