Today I claim the gifts forgiveness gives.

Today I receive God's ancient treasure
With worth beyond all human measure,
And, as always, it is His Pleasure

To give us all eternal peace,
And give every soul release
From its earth-bound prison,
So we can see Christ's Vision.

This day is my rejection
Of every false perception --
I release unholy thought
Since God's Gifts can't be bought.

Today I make my choice
To hear God's Voice --
And so I follow Him,
And I will allow Him
To lead me to the place
Where I receive His Grace.

Now I am so sure
That He makes me pure --
Today's when we begin
To see we have no sin --
We're on the road to Heaven,
And all is now forgiven.

Forgiveness ends the dream 
of conflict here.

Forgiveness ends the dream
Humanity has seen
Since time began,
When ancient man
Suffered through life
With endless strife.

To end all war,
Let Spirits soar --
With God's great gifts
We'll end all rifts --
We must forgive,
To learn to live.

Receive God's Light,
And end your fight --
We cannot pretend
It will ever end,
Till conflict's resolved
And life's puzzles solved.

You are the child who God loves dearly --
He holds you in His Hands securely --
Open your heart and feel it sincerely --
Shine your light and you'll see it clearly.

Fear binds the world. 
Forgiveness sets it free.

God's Truth belongs to you and me,
And His Forgiveness makes us free --
When His Banner is unfurled,
Fear no longer rules the world!

Truth shines light on death's illusion,
And wakens us from dark confusion --
The ego gives us evil dreams,
So nothing's really what it seems.

Love lasts forever -- do not attack --
To God's Home we'll always go back --
Love is our divine reality,
Not the ego's hopeless fantasy.

A Child of God is in your heart --
Know this and be set apart --
Fear may grab us, and put us in prison,
But we've been set free: God's Child is risen.

If you want to know real inner peace
Then the world of fear you must release --
You must give what you want to receive --
If you want joy you had better believe
In light, and in your soul's true essence,
Which is divine, and God's Own Presence.

There is no conflict, for my will is Yours.

Today we set the record straight:
It's time for us to demonstrate
That we and God are joined together --
Today, tomorrow and for ever.

When we forgive we really live,
But know there's nothing to forgive --
We see the sight: Our Self in spirit --
It is so bright, we can't come near it.

But we know it's really inside us --
God's infinite power's beside us --
We open our minds and suffering is gone --
It's in Heaven with God where we belong.

We're made of love, and love does not leave --
The truth no matter what we believe --
Peace in Heaven our minds must conceive --
A lack of conflict is what we receive.

We have salvation
And not damnation;
We have eternal life
And not eternal strife:
It's not a world of pain --
It's a world of Godly Gain.

And we are not forsaken --
Into peace we will awaken --
Forgiveness shows the way,
So every living day
With God we always stay.

I will not hurt myself again today.

Each soul on earth
Has infinite worth --
We must learn to live,
And learn to forgive,
So please don't attack:
You can't take it back.

We're perfect in God's Sight,
And have no reason to fight --
Change your weapons into flowers --
Perfection and beauty will be ours.

Our time has come -- it's the hour of God --
And we're all given the power of God --
Our minds have been restored to Spirit,
So don't talk of fear -- I don't want to hear it.

The law is simple: love one another --
As you do to yourself you do to your brother --
When we wake up from the dream of fear
We see God's Strength is always near.

So give up your images of pain --
God's Love is like a soothing rain
That nurtures us, and makes us grow,
And teaches what we already know.

We're divine -- death has no sting for us,
Just listen -- the angels sing for us --
Eternal peace God brings for us --
You're the Self which God created --
Let your joy continue unabated.

I have already chosen what You will.

I had a dream where I was wandering,
Defying God, while I was pondering:
"How great am I compared to You?"
(Something the ego made me do.)

I woke up from this dream
And I started to scream --
"I'll always be defending You,
And always be extending You."

"I'm One with you and you with me --
This choice was made eternally --
I'm peaceful, safe and serene --
The happiest I have ever been."

"That Your Way is my way
Is the truth I see today --
My inner Self will never change --
Through all Eternity I'm the same --
I'll always share Your Holy Name."

I choose the second place to gain the first.

When God's Will is behind us
He'll be there to remind us
That He will always find us --

When we hear His loving voice
We have no other choice
But to forever rejoice --
With Him we're always safe,
And there is no second place.

We have to let His Will be first --
Separation is the worst --
When we forget He is our boss
We get suffering and loss --
Though the world is upside down,
He turns all things around.

When God we follow
In joy we'll wallow --
We'll win His Prize
When we recognize
Our will is His Will --
Our hearts he'll always fill --
His Love is with us still.

I need but call and You will answer me.

God is waiting for your call
To freely give you all --
He will always hear you,
To show you He is near you.

Though His Love speaks for itself,
He will answer you Himself,
So put your doubt back on the shelf.

By your love He will know you,
So now just let Him show you
Your faith in Him is justified,
And Salvation is de-mystified.

He loves us all forever,
And tells us He will never
Leave us all alone,
But always brings us home.

Thank you God for being true,
So we can see the real You --
Thank you Lord -- You never fail
To free us from this earthly jail
Of fear and death and guilt,
Upon which mortal lives are built.

Oh, thank You, Lord, for You are great --
Your Love has built my inner faith
And led me back to Heaven's gate.

I am forever an Effect of God.

We live inside God's Mind,
Right now and for all time,
And wherever we roam,
We're forever at home.

We never can reject our God
Cause all we see's an effect of God  --
Yet after all time passes away,
Within God's Loving Home we'll stay.

A child of God, a piece of God --
I always find release in God --
And when I clear my mind
I see we're all divine.

He created Heaven, our dreams created earth,
Yet human life goes on with endless mirth,
While God waits for our spiritual birth.

We followed His Plan, which led us here,
To do His Will and let go of fear,
So all of our sins will be forgiven,
As we surrender and then find Heaven.

This world will go away,
But God's Word is here to stay --
When we close our eyes and see,
God's Love shines through eternity.
In God's Home we abide together,
Living with Him in Love forever.

All things I think I see reflect ideas.

This world is a reflection
Of my mind's insurrection,
And all the things I see
Come from inside of me.

But I'm not a liar --
My heart's on fire
With things I desire.

Coming from God's Mind
All ideas feel fine,
But the ones from mine
Are a waste of time.

Illusion and insanity
Create a world of inanity --
So far from Christianity --
We've lost our humanity.

It still takes a village
To fully envisage
The lovely image
That comes from God's Visage --

Oh, I wish I couldn't feel
Things that aren't real,
But life is just a dream
We hold in high esteem --

If I think it and then see it,
It forms my life, so be it --
In my mind ideas begin
That I project out from within,

So I distort the truth by fudging it,
And condemn the world by judging it --
But I love the world by forgiving it,
And I seek the truth while living it --

I create my world with a loving thought,
Receiving the joys that cannot be bought,
For Heaven on earth God's Love has brought,
Which is the only goal I ever sought.

I merely follow, for I would not lead.

It's easy today
To find the way --
On God's path I stay,
And I do not stray.

I give up night,
And follow the light --
I will succeed
When I follow God's Lead.

Through the world we may roam,
But we're always at home --
We walk arm in arm,
And suffer no harm.

We're safe and secure
When fear has no allure,
And we suffer no wrath
When following God's Path.

Right from the start
I've played my part:
God chose it for me,
And now I am free.

I gladly make the "sacrifice" of fear.

Please sacrifice your suffering, pain and doubt,
   And realize the joy you can't live without --
Become aware of God's Love, 
   Silently streaming
From the Source of all light, 
   Constantly beaming.

After so long we've again found peace --
We surrender to God and find our release --
Suffering is gone, replaced by new joy --
God's healing powers we now employ.

Your Unity with God is what you've believed,
So give up fear and be no longer deceived.
Let go of deception and false image of ego,
For love and truth are the path on which we go.

You'll see there's no such thing as unfairness
When God's Love returns to your awareness --
And you'll feel there's no such thing as pain
When God's Love calls you home again.

I can give up what was never real.

The only goal of the human race
Is to open our eyes and see God's Face,
But we hide this truth in powerful dreams,
In false desires, and our silly schemes.

We abide in God and He abides in us --
He gives us everything with no fuss --
We must give up things that are not real,
For infinite grace and the power to heal.

The idea of sacrifice is a human delusion,
Caused by conflict, fear and confusion,
So I must give up my precious illusions
To receive God's Love in great profusion.

The God in us shall never die:
We have angel wings and now must fly --
Safety and warmth and love divine --
Eternal happiness beyond all time.

Don't share in dreams of separation
That will just lead you to frustration --
We are joined as One reality,
Not separate in false duality.

This is how God has seen us:
There is no gap between us --
To think so will demean us.

It's no sacrifice 
  to give up this dream --
What we see with our eyes 
  is not what it seems.

Father, my freedom is in You alone.

While the Universe has swished and swirled
'Round stars and planets God has hurled,
Our minds -- around the truth they're curled --
And today we answer for the world.

To find our freedom, as we must,
We follow a simple path of trust,
Leaving this world to those who lust,
Remembering it will turn to dust.

To abolish suffering and sinfulness,
Give up illusion and willfulness,
And fill your heart with soulfulness
In exchange for holy cheerfulness.

I have no choice
But to trust God's Voice --
He makes me free
By directing me --
Now I see clearly:
I love Him dearly.

In the beginning God decreed
That every soul would be freed
From false dreams of pain --
He leads us home again.

To receive grace from above,
Anchor your heart in love --
We're separate no more --
We're safe on God's Shore.

My Father gives all power unto me.

Our Father, who gave us the gift of power,
Gives us His Light in our darkest hour --
His Will is done, and my will too,
For we are always One, not two.

We are limitless cause and effect --
Fear and illusion are what we reject --
See now there is no separation,
Only love and healing and regeneration.

When my will is God's it can't be denied --
Upon my mind, His love light shines,
And I will go to any length
To receive His peace and strength.

It's not a sacrifice to give up illusion --
To receive the truth instead of confusion --
Through me God's Will can do everything,
Like make the bells of Heaven ring.
So let's sing a song of joy and praise,
And accept God's Gifts through all our days --

When with Him our wills align,
He makes our little selves divine --
He purifies each holy mind
And triumphs over death and time.

I came for the salvation of the world.

If I gain you don't have to lose,
Because arrogance
Opposes truth.

We see the whole totality
Of God's total reality --
It's not just our reflection
But the light of our Salvation.

The ego tries to limit us --
Its goal is to inhibit us --
But if we do the Will of God
We'll never have our fill of God.

Existence can't be curtailed,
And progress can't be derailed --
God's Truth will always fill us up
When the ego wants to give us up.

Everyone who gives also receives;
Everyone who lives also believes;
Everyone who dies also grieves,
But what we discard, God retrieves.

When God gives gifts expediently
We're filled with Truth immediately,
And follow His Will obediently.

What we need God may not show,
But we don't really need to know --
Say "Thank you God" -- and it is so.

We're the effect and You're the cause --
If You didn't make it, it never was --
Eternal life will give us pause,
But You give us gain, and never loss.

In me salvation's means and end are one.

Part I

The means do justify the ends of our existence,
As we grow inside and out with no resistance.
When we walk with God we go the distance --
We'll save the world with His assistance.

It takes a little while
For things to reconcile,
But the means of our Salvation
Is the goal of our Creation.

From the day we begin
We live without sin --
All things are equal --
We live with no sequel.

But our fear is depraved
Since we've always been saved.
The means and the end are me,
Which my eyes can finally see.

I accept my atonement
With no more postponement --
Conflict is done --
We've become One 
With God's Son.

Part II

We have to wake up from illusion,
And see the truth with no confusion --
Just open up our hearts,
And stop throwing darts.

Have fun with each other --
Stop hating your brother --
Let's live in total joy
Without planning our next ploy.

Sing praises of gratitude
In truth and not platitude --
Fill our hearts with love
And be blessed from above --
Get rid of worry and fear --
Make the most of the time we're here.

Receive God's Holy Grace,
Live in His Holy Place,
And see His Holy Face
Where sin has no trace.
