Leddy Hammock From lyrics to “Like a Boomerang” by Robert Anderson: Every little thing that you say and do, just like a boomerang, it will come back to you. Every time you fight against something new, just like a boomerang, it will come back to you. Every single thought that you hold as true, just like a boomerang, it will come back to you. After you were born, you forgot what is true, but like a boomerang, it will come back to you. You may not recall what you came here to do, but like a boomerang, it will come back to you. All that you desire, when you ask it to, just like a boomerang, it will come back to you. |

God is the only hope for some broken hearts. God is time and makes us whole. God is taking us all on a journey, knows exactly ev’ry inch of this road and, if we could only see farther down it, we would know as God knows. God, Father Time, the Master of Surprises, will surprise us once again. We’re all healing in the hands of time.

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “Do What I Can Do” by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, and Gary Lynn Floyd: “Look around, what do I see? Good or bad, it’s up to me. My world reflects what I believe. Look out world, ‘cause I’m not done, I’ve only just begun…. I’ll choose compassion over fear, release my love into the atmosphere. Like a single wave in an endless sea, any change begins with me. And, when I feel I’m all alone, I’ll remember, one drop of water smooths a stone. Gonna, love like crazy, shine like gold, be courageous, break the mold. Can’t do it all, but this much is true. I can do what I can do.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “The Grand Design” by Greg Tamblyn: “…We’re all threads in a tapestry, woven together, your life and mine, ‘till our hearts and roads are intertwined. The road of life may lead us far from where we all begin, but sooner or later, Our path divides, we take our chances, and pray our loved ones will understand us…. We navigate by heart. But, in time, we come to learn that every road is part of the Grand Design…. We could rise up high, see the long road, how far we’ve come and where we’ll go, see how our pathway crosses the others, we know how much we need each other. In this living tapestry, each thread is someone’s road and one day, from a higher place, we may know the Grand Design. It’s something I believe and now I find it comforts me. I’ve come to love the mystery. |

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Your True Calling” by Jana Stanfield: When you hear a voice, no one else can hear, yet it’s clear and loud, ringing in your ear. And you finally know, what it’s time to do, that’s your true calling, calling you. When your heart’s wide open ’cause your mind’s been changed and the dreams you dream are not the same, there’s a gate that’s open, you can walk right through. That’s your true calling, calling you. You ask yourself, “Is this a voice I can trust?” You think you can’t, but you know that you must. You’re afraid you’ll fall, if you let go. But, there’s only one way you’ll ever know. Those wings you keep folded are meant to be used when your true calling is calling you. There’s a gate that’s open, you can walk right through, that’s your true calling, calling you! |

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “A Steadfast Bridge” by Joy Katzen-Guthrie: A Steadfast Bridge gently supports me, constant and strong, through every furious storm. A Steadfast Bridge swiftly transports me past raging waters on a path that’s safe and warm. Show the way, fill me with courage. Help me to know there’s an answer in my heart. When I am weak, your strength sustains me. Your love enfolds me, as You have loved me from the start. |

Love only grows and grows at the crossroads of life. |

Leddy Hammock Negative expectations come to nothing, while positive and loving thoughts are manifesting now. Every good thought, like an angel presence, goes before me to make my way easy, safe, prosperous, and happy. I deny the stumbling blocks of doubt, fear, and worry, and instead I build up a strong and positive consciousness that paves the way to good outcomes. I reflect on the good I expect, and as I conceive it, I receive it – or something even better! |

Leddy Hammock Based on lyrics from “I Made Room for Grace” by Sue Riley and Melinda Wood Allen I live without making demands. I am happy, just doing the best that I can. When I stop resisting, I get what I needed – and so much more. Rather than insisting on my own way, I open my arms in surrender. Since I made room for grace, I just stepped aside and opened up a space. |

Leddy Hammock Highlignts from “We Remember Them” by Rabbis Sylvan Kamens and Jack Riemer: “At the rising of the sun and at its going down …. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them.” “At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring …. At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember them.” “At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn …. At the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them.” “When we have achievements that are based on theirs …. When we fulfill their dreams, and our own, we remember them. As long as we live, they too will live: for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.” |

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “It’s a Brand New Day” (by Glen Roethel, Sue Riley & Richard Mekdeci): “It’s a brand new day…. The power of love has rolled that stone away…. It’s a brand new day! Faith can move a mountain, part that stormy sea. Love can be a fountain pouring over me. Hope can build a future so we can truly say, the past is past, free at last, it’s a brand new day! The power of love has rolled that stone away…. Doubts become believing that death can be destroyed. Painful loss and grieving, can open us to joy. A dawn of resurrection can chase our fears away. The past is past, free at last, it’s a brand new day! The power of love has rolled that stone away! … It’s a brand new day.” |

Every breath in me proclaims, Hallelujah today! The road is long, but I will make it, that’s who I am. It’s not the race but how I’m running, not who I was, who I’m becoming. Steady on, I’ll finish strong on this path. Hear me now, I’m ringing out around the world! In every song I sing, in every part of me, in everything! Every breath in me proclaims, Hallelujah today!

Leddy Hammock Lyrics from “Holy Now” by Peter Mayer: “When I was in Sunday school, we would learn about the time Moses split the sea in two and Jesus made the water wine . . . .” “I remember feeling sad, miracles don’t happen still, and now I can’t keep track, ‘cause ev’rything’s a miracle . . . .” “When holy water was rare at best, it barely wet my fingertips. Now, I have to hold my breath, like I’m swimmin’ in a sea of it. . . .” “This mornin’ outside I stood. I saw a little red wing bird, shining like a burning bush and singing like a scripture verse. It made me want to bow my head. I remember when church let out. How things have changed since then. Everything is holy now.” |

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “Rising in Love” by David Roth I always find it surprising, the way people say that they’re falling in love when I always thought I was rising, floating right off of the ground and reaching something that I only have dreamed of. I’m not falling at all; I am rising in love. Everyone talks about tying the knot, … but the feeling of love should be freeing – lifting each other up instead of giving one another a shove. We won’t be falling at all; we’ll be rising in love. How do you let love grow? You’ve got to give it a chance when you’ve found it. We won’t be falling at all; we’ll be rising in love. The deeper the river, the greater the trust and the more that we’re rising above. |

My heart’s desire (my spiritual birthright of infinite good) has always been right here for me and God wants me to accept it! |

I’m in the flow of love. |
