  Contemplations
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
  I sit in absolute stillness 
  And wait for you to speak. 
  I listen in the silence. 
  I hope for your word.  
  I hear you. 
  I know you. 
  I am with you. 
  It stills me. 
  It steadies me. 
  It fills me
  And I know, 
  with absolute certainty, 
  that somehow all is well. 
  And somehow, all will be well. 
 
 
  
 
 
  When the pain I am experiencing 
  is too loud to hear God 
  and too immense to pray through, 
  the Spirit prays for me, 
  so I am always held before and by God 
  and connected to the Heart of Love. 
  Thus I can know that I am always safe, 
  for the Spirit is truly with me! 
 
 
  
 
 
  I am with You as You are with me. 
  I know this to be true. 
  Even when I can do nothing, 
  still You are here with me. 
  Even when I can think nothing, 
  still You are here with me. 
  Even when I can feel nothing, 
  still You are here with me. 
  Thus I am strengthened and renewed in faith. 
  I feel your love filtering through to touch me. 
  I know that you will hear me, 
  even if I cannot call out. 
  For that is the blessing of oneness, 
  held as we all are, 
  in the very centre of the Heart of Love, 
  united with God forever.
 
 
  
 
 
                    Here I am Lord
  pinioned by intolerable pain.
  I lie on the cross with you 
  and find that my heart too is miraculously opened and so,
   in some mysterious way, 
  I too am held  in the Glory and the Mercy 
  of the Passion.
  Thus I am changed for evermore, 
  knowing that, even  in the centre 
  of the most horrendous, indescribable pain, 
  I am closer still to you 
  and can reach out to feel you with me 
  in this most barren 
  and bleakest of places. 
  There is no place that you are not 
  and therefore even here I am safe, 
  for your love strengthens me 
  and my tiny flicker of light 
  is part of your vast 
  and infinite being.
 
 
  
 
 
  I sing to the lord and praise His Holy name. 
  It brings a joy beyond description. 
  I dance and sing in the Spirit. 
  I am lifted higher by the tunes 
  that resound in my soul 
  and must be expressed in the world! 
  I am gifted with tunes 
  that touch hearts 
  and echo God’s Holy Word. 
  What a blessing, the mystery of creation. 
  Alleluia!
 
 
  
 
 
  Here is my heart. 
  I offer it to you, small and battered as it feels. 
  I offer it in love and service. 
  I wait with head bowed. 
  I wait to hear you speak 
  and show me how to serve, 
  even in the smallest of ways. 
  For you have shown me 
  that everything counts,
  that a smile, 
  a kind word, 
  a warm touch, 
  a simple prayer for another, 
  can all bless the world in ways
   beyond my limited comprehension 
  and are part of Your great plan.
 
 
  
 
 
  When I am confused 
  or lost 
  and don’t know which path to take, 
  I wait upon the Lord 
  and find the Spirit is with me. 
  He will Bless me. 
  He will Guide me. 
  He will always Lead me on a path of Love. 
  For I am wild as the wind and can trust 
  that the Breath of Life lives in me and 
  will lead me safely on, held securely in the Heart of Love, 
  the total love of the Trinity.
 
 
  
 
 
  When two or three are gathered together, 
  He is with us. 
  We feel His presence. 
  We know He is near. 
  There is a Peace that resonates in the soul. 
  There is an understanding not previously known. 
  There is Light in the darkness 
  and a sure path forward. 
  For we know with absolute certainty this is so, 
  for He has promised this to us 
  and we know it in our hearts to be true. 
  Praise the Lord.
 
 
  
 
 
  The  Spirit guides me. 
  I follow. 
  I flow. 
  I dance, 
  I trust. 
  I do not know the path 
  but the Lord knows the rhythm and guides my feet. 
  All is blessed here on this holy ground I tread upon, 
  with His love ever present, 
  His Spirit shining for me, 
  showing me the way to go.
 
 
  
 
 
  We place ourselves totally in the Heart of Love
  and open our hearts to the wonder of the Lord. 
  We know He is with us 
  for He leads us on a path of love. 
  We pray for others 
  and hold them in a healing space 
  in the very centre of the Heart of Love
  where miracles happen 
  and our joy is complete.
 
 
  
 
 
  I give you my heart that You might fill it, Lord. 
  I long to walk a path of peace, 
  a path of truth, 
  a path of healing, 
  a path of blessings. 
  Let this be my way to serve you Lord. 
  Only Show me how I may serve 
  and I will follow humbly, 
  knowing Your way is always filled with Love
  and Mercy.
 
 
  
 
 
  I fall before you, oh Lord. 
  Only You know how I truly feel. 
  Only You know what is in my heart. 
  Only You can help me carry my burdens. 
  For I have it heard tell in absolute truth, 
  that Your yolk is easy 
  and Your burden light. 
  Therefore let my whole life be transfigured
  by your Love 
  and all that I carry 
  be lifted into that Light too.
