Today I will judge nothing that occurs.

If I'm absolutely honest,
I would always be astonished
At things that God accomplished.

I'd better let creation be,
Since the whole of it I'll never see,
And lack of judgment makes me free.

We may as well accept it --
God has always kept it,
And we can't reject it.

Once you really understand,
You'll never make demands, 
But let God be in command --
Know control is in His hand --
It's all exactly as He planned.

Our intelligence has come awake --
Judgment is not ours to make,
Creation's made for us to take --
Know what's real and what's a fake.

Can you finally see
The true reality
With purity and honesty?
If so, then let it be --
Every thing we see
Is part of you and me.

Here's the way to start:
Know we share our heart,
And never are apart.

This day is God's. It is my gift to Him. 

I want to give a lift to God
By giving a small gift to God.

What I do is not a whim --
Each day I give my life to Him.

With true forgiveness I atone:
I cannot live my life alone.

God knows each day what's best for me,
And whether it's easy or a test for me --
I want all my sins confessed for me,
Then God will make a rest for me --

When sin is gone it makes us free
To live for all eternity,
Which God wants for both you and me.

So I can't stay here --
Didn't know the way here --
I was led astray here --

Now I've learned the way with God,
And I've learned to pray with God,
So now I want to stay with God --

He has everything we need,
And we are His Holy Seed --
Humanity's now freed --
Let the Holy Spirit lead --
To His Home we can proceed.

This holy instant is salvation come.

Within each instant is creation --
A cause for celebration --
The meaning of salvation.

It doesn't matter what you say,
Joy is everywhere today,
And salvation's come to stay.

One thing is made clear --
Pain's no longer here --
The world is freed from fear.

Free at last!  Free at last!
It could not come too fast,
And conflicts now have passed.

We must stand tall,
And have a ball --
We are forgiven all.

Each sister and brother
Is the same as each other,
So forgive one another.

As millions see the light
The world's at last made right:
We're perfect in God's Sight.

Fear is not justified in any form.

Fear is deception
And false perception --
It's not a projection
Of our true perfection.

What we fear in our minds
Will appear in our minds,
But we fail to see
It's unreality,
For what you think you see
Is something you can never be.

Still truth cannot be missed:
Though fear does not exist,
It does seem to persist,
And so must be dismissed --
Please ask God to assist!

Often fears are amplified,
But thinking must be rectified
If you think fear is justified --
And faith will have you sanctified,
As all the saints have testified.

Still all your dreams will shatter,
And all your hopes will scatter
When you let falsehood flatter,
For the forms of fear don't matter --

Let your heart not conceal
What you finally must feel:
No fear is real --
Before God we will kneel --

And to find inner peace
You must find your release --
God's Truth you will know
When you let fear go.

The glory of my Father is my own.

When we look upon Christ's face,
Our sins leave without a trace,
And in their place
Are the temples God has built,
Where we reside, and have no guilt.

Thank you God for sharing with me,
And thank you God for caring for me --
I'm One with You and You're One with me.

You made us perfectly,
You love us constantly,
And make us see
That always we
Are living free --

In true humility,
With nobility
And tranquility,

Instantly
And eternally --
We've shared Your story,
And now share Your glory --

The glory of God is my glory too
And the story of God is my story too,
And whatever you want to say or to do,
Please honor God's Light that is shining in you.

We are one, in light united,
And to this light you are invited --
If you accept, you will be delighted
To walk in the path that God has lighted.

On my decision all salvation rests.

God does not reprimand --
He puts Salvation in your hand
So you will understand,
And know He loves you too
When He confides in you,
And tells you what to do.

You don't need an exposition
To explain your position
And announce your decision --
He forgets you not --
You're worth a lot,
As you've been taught.

You must concede
He meets all needs --
You're loved indeed,
Which is truly just --
You're not a bust,
In you He trusts.

So trust Him only --
With Him you're holy --
He loves you wholly.
His Love will last
Till eternity's passed --
He is steadfast.

You don't compete with Him
So don't retreat from Him --
You're made complete in Him.

Now would I be as God created me.

To end the dream of dying
We're now testifying,
And talking of Salvation,
Which is our obligation,
While we show our worth
To every soul on earth.

To set the world right
We shine our holy light
Until it's so bright
It ends the night,
And every soul has sight.

With no dreams to convey,
Our light shines all day,
And shows the world the way,
For we've learned how to pray,
And have no sins to weigh --
There can be no delay
When you're never led astray.

We're telling the story 
Of mankind's glory,
And the truth of you and me
Is the best that we can be --

And now we will see
What Christ wants us to see,
And now we will be
What God wants us to be --

For beyond the eternal sea,
God is calling you and me
To live in eternity --
And so I will finally be
Just as God created me.

I rule my mind, which I alone must rule.

You think you're in a bind
At the mercy of your mind,
But the mind is just a tool
Which you constantly must rule.

So you must understand
Only you are in command,
And learn to never fear it:
It's of the Holy Spirit.

In your mind you're always king,
In charge of thoughts and everything,
But you must always choose to do
The function that God chose for you.

Just ask God to open your mind,
And within it you will always find
His Holy Gift we've all been given --
The Peace of God, waiting in Heaven.

God in His mercy wills that I be saved.

Salvation is something we can't live without,
But the outcome has never been in doubt,
For Heaven is what love will bring about.

It's us God will save --
Heaven He gave --
We must be brave,
So please behave
And ride His wave.

Whenever your life looks totally amiss,
Say "God wills that I be saved from this"
And you will forever live in bliss.

Remain alert
And you won't get hurt --
Every fear
will disappear --
God makes it so:
This is all we know --
God's Holiness
Is in all of us --
We're in God's arms
Protected from harms --
God's love surrounds us,
Though the world confounds us --
And evil is winless
Because we are sinless --
This makes me content,
And I've no need to repent --
You have no defect  --
You were made perfect --
Let your mind be still:
You're doing God's Will.

Father, today I am Your Child again.

Although we have the right to choose,
There's something we will never lose --
God's Love, His Peace and Memory
Abide in Him and You and Me.

We dream of love,
We scheme for love,
We ask for help from God above --

Which now may seem undignified,
But eternity and time are unified --
It seems our Selves we crucified,
And think our sins are magnified --
"God Save Us" we have always cried,
And God knows we have always tried
To live in peace before we died.

God's Peace is always with us --
It's something we should discuss,
But now's not the time to make a fuss --
We're on the road to Heaven, or bust.

You've never been coerced --
He quenches our thirst --
Our wounds have been nursed,
But our safety comes first --
Can you see God's Lights burst?

And now we'll always know --
Grace on us does God bestow --
Father, we accept what's wholly true --
We never have forgotten You.

I give my life to God to guide today.

Since God is my guide

In Him I confide --
I'm along for His ride,
Take struggles in stride,
And He takes my side.

To Him I concede
Every thought, word and deed,
So my life is now freed
By His Grace, indeed.

His Words are not hollow,
So they're what I follow --
I must give my life to Him
And so live my life for Him.

I'm feeling no stress,
Since my life He did bless --
His gifts are boundless,

So my worries are foundless.

Though we can't comprehend
His Love without end,
The time that we spend,
Or the mercy He sends,
His Truth we defend.
Now my life to God I give,
So my life with God I live.

Be in my mind, my Father, through the day.

Father when I wake
Please take
This day, 
For Your Sake,
And make

Me never forget
I'm in Your Debt,
And how You let

Me always stay,
With You each day --
And how I pray
To live and play
In Your Holy Way.

I can now begin it --
I thank You each minute,
For Your Light is in it.

You're with me still --
I try to do Thy Will --
My heart with love You fill.

You're always forgiving,
And I'm filled with thanksgiving,
For the gifts You are giving.

You're always there,
And You always care --
Your Love is everywhere.

You don't conceal Your Truth --
Now please reveal Your Truth,
For I can feel Your Truth.

I know You're always near --
My call You always hear --
My mind You always clear --
Today you did appear,
My love for you is dear,
With You I have no fear.

Father, I will but to remember You

Beyond the bounds of time
Lies what we want to find --
No matter what we name it,
Now is the time to claim it.

Through history we've moved undaunted,
Searching for the only thing we've wanted --
God's Love which we know is vaunted --
Yet through history we have been taunted.

Our hearts have sprung a leak,
But God's Love is all we seek --
Our vision needs a tweak,
But of love is what we speak --

For we shall finally see
What we can finally be --
Through God's Holy Memory
That makes us free
In spiritual unity --
Knowing our divinity
For all of eternity.

Separation is not true --
This is nothing new --
So open the door of your mind 
And step outside of time --
Heaven's unity you shall find.

Though trials of time I did undergo,
   I have no foe, 
   And feel no woe --
On me God did His Love bestow --

Who am I? Now I finally know --
   And finally I go
   With God's holy flow --
Feeling the joy of God's holy glow.

Now will I seek and find the peace of God.

My happiness is unabated,
In peace and joy I was created,
I live in light, I'm not frustrated --
Salvation's mine -- it's not belated.

Salvation untied me,
And God is inside me --
Peace can't be denied me.

My own mind enslaved me --
Forgiveness has saved me --
Heaven God gave me.

Now I'll speak
Of what I seek --
I'm not a freak,
And am not weak --

I shine all night
In holy light --
I never fight --
With God I'm right.

I'm feeling real fine,
For inside my mind
I've now seen the sign:
It's Peace that I find --
It's there all the time --
God's Peace is now mine.

Love, which created me, is what I am.

The cry of modern man
Is "I think therefore I am,"
But now I understand
That Love is what I am.

I seek no more 
   forgotten lore;
I see Christ's face 
   in every place;
I hear God's Voice 
   and now rejoice.

And Love will always be --
It always waits for me --
It is our true Identity,
And always sets us free.

Thanks to God for saving me,
And for eternal purity --
I live with Him in safety --
Now and for Eternity.

God gave me a holy place,
Like all the human race,
And now I live in grace
And look upon Christ's holy face.

God has condemned me not. No more do I.

Things do not exist 
If God didn't conceive them,
Even if we persist,
And we all believe them.

Each of us has free volition,
But only God knows our condition --
He put us on His sacred mission.

Illusions cast their evil spell,
And condemn each one of us to Hell --
God knows the truth because He made us,
And Separation is what He forbade us.

In truth we're all One.
In truth we're His Son --
God made our fate for us,
So it's not too late for us.

We were never forsaken,
But merely mistaken --
So stay on God's Course,
And return to our Source.

I'm always a part of you,
And never apart from you --
So now I can finally see:
Never have you condemned me --
And because I'm growing stronger,
I condemn my Self no longer.

This is my holy instant of release.

Nothing apart from God exists,
But our human mind resists,
And so we always have to pray:
Thy Will be done this day.

God's Will for us is inner peace,
In the Holy Instant of release --
To free us from the chains of time,
And remove illusions from our mind.

Today accept the gift we're given,
And find our glad return to Heaven --
Throughout all time we felt bereft
Of Heaven, though we never left.

In purity, we are freed from sin --
So be happy now, come home again --
Live among the holy men --
Practice peace and love, and zen --

God's Will has made us free --
Our minds restored to sanity --
Since we all have immortality,
We see divine reality 
And forever holy we will be.

My home awaits me. I will hasten there.

This world is not what it seems --
It's the land of broken dreams --
   Vain desires
   Stoke earthly fires,
And we never know what it means.

This world is not your fate --
It's filled with things you hate --
   Fear and pain
   Keep us in chains,
But a better world awaits.

I change the world when I change my mind --
This has been true since the start of time --
    But I haven't a clue here --
    There's nothing I value here,
And nothing I claim as mine.

Lord, You wait for my return,
While I for Heaven yearn --
   I have wasted my youth,
   But now seek Your Truth --
And vain desires I will spurn.
