I AM BECOMING… (Janis Kelly @2008)
I am blessed, I am beautiful;
Beloved, bright and brave;
I am bold, I am bountiful;
And better every day;
I am becoming…(I can be);
I am becoming…(brilliantly);
I am becoming…(just for me);
I will be what I will to be;
I will be what I will to be;
I will be—what I will—TO BE!
MAY I USE WORDS (Janis Kelly @ 2007)
May I use words of love and light and healing;
May they reflect the oneness of all life;
May they express the joy and wonder of my heart’s own path;
And may they build a bridge of peace, that reaches ‘round the world.
May I be guided by compassion in my speaking;
May I be generous and brave and true;
May I maintain integrity in all I say and do;
And may I build a bridge of peace, that reaches ‘round the world.
Let my voice—be a blessing; to all who are yearning
For hope and for comfort and for strength!
May I stand for dignity and honor;
May I accept my neighbor as myself;
May I choose to recognize the sacredness of Now;
And may I build a bridge of peace, that reaches ‘round the world.
LET IT LIVE IN ME (Janis Kelly @2007)
There is a light that is shining—from deep within my soul;
There is a flame that is burning—way down inside my heart;
There is a spark of hope, that guides my way,
When darkness starts to fall;
It’s called forgiveness—forgiveness;
And it can live inside us all!
Chorus: So let it live in me--ooh, yeah--let it live in me!
Let your mercy and your goodness always have a home in me!
Let it live in me--ooh, yeah--let it live in me!
Let the power of true forgiveness live—in me!
Sometimes it seems impossible—to heal our wounded lives;
Sometimes the past feels too powerful—to ever leave behind;
But God gave us a way, to ease the pain,
Of what we’ve all been through;
It’s called forgiveness—forgiveness!
And it can live in me and you!
Chorus: So let it live in me--ooh, yeah--let it live in me!
Let your mercy and your goodness always have a home in me!
Let it live in me--ooh, yeah--let it live in me!
Let the power of true forgiveness live—in me!
I want to hold a space for true forgiveness, and for true piece of mind;
I want to be someone who stands in freedom for myself and all mankind;
I want to have compassion for my brother, irregardless of his deeds;
I want to show the world that we can live in peace and perfect harmony.
So let Your light keep shining—from deep within my soul;
And let Your flame keep burning—way down inside my heart;
And let Your spark of hope still guide my way,
When darkness starts to fall;
And let forgiveness—forgiveness;
Oh, Lord, keep living in us all!
Chorus: So let it live in me--ooh, yeah--let it live in me!
Let your mercy and your goodness always have a home in me!
Let it live in me--ooh, yeah--let it live in me!
Let the power of true forgiveness live—in me!
PRAYER OF FORGIVENESS (Janis Kelly @2006)
I forgive everyone for everything,
I forgive myself as well;
I release the past, I embrace my Now;
I am blessed, I am whole, I am free;
I am blessed—I am whole—I am free—
Free to express the deepest parts of me.
Free to explore my own divinity.
Free to expand my highest vision for myself.
Free to accept me just as I am!
I forgive everyone for everything,
I forgive myself as well;
I step forth in faith and gratitude;
I am blessed, I am whole, I am free;
I am blessed--I am whole; I am blessed--I am whole;
I am blessed—I am whole—I am free!
IF ONLY FOR THIS DAY (Janis Kelly @2008)
If only for this day:
May I be gentle with myself;
If only for right now:
May I be kinder than I’ve been;
If only for this moment:
May I choose a path of true serenity;
And find the courage that I need,
To finally believe,
That I am strong enough to be—
Just me—Just me—Just me—
Just me!

THIS IS THE PLACE (Janis Kelly @2006)
When I am feeling mighty low;
When sorrow seems to be my closest friend;
When all of life’s burdens
Are too much for me to bear;
That’s when I reach for higher ground;
Somewhere beyond the sadness and despair;
And I listen for Your still, small voice;
And it takes me there again.
Chorus
This is the place that I call Hope;
This is the place my searching ends.
This is the place that I call Hope;
This is the place where life begins;
This is the place—where hope lives.
When I am standing on the edge;
Uncertain whether I should sink or swim;
I long so to heal my pain;
So I can help to heal the world’s;
So I surrender to Your grace;
Your tender mercy makes me whole again;
Your lifts lifts me up on high;
And takes me back where I belong.
Chorus
This—is the place!
This—is the place!
It’s in you, it’s in me;
You’ve got to listen to your heart!
Your heart!
So when you feel you can’t go on;
And you can find no shelter from the storm;
Take hold of God’s mighty hand;
And He will take you there again.
Chorus

LET ME CARE FOR YOU (Janis Kelly @2007)
Let me guide you, and I will show you a world
Where blessings never cease;
Let me lead you into a life
Where miracles unfold before your eyes;
Let me grant you my gift of peace which passes
Through all space and time;

Your heart and soul and mind;

Of everlasting grace and calm;

IF YOU WANT…(Janis Kelly @2006)
If you want love, you gotta give love;
If you want truth, you gotta speak the truth;
If you want peace, you gotta live peace;
And it will come--to you!
If you want light, you gotta shine a light;
If you want strength, you gotta show your strength;
If you want joy, you gotta spread joy;
And it will come--to you!
The gifts of God are yours for the taking;
The life you seek is yours for the making;
For we always get what we’re giving;
Just as sure as night follows day!
If you want wealth, you gotta share your wealth;
If you want power, you gotta claim your power;
If your want choice, you gotta make a choice;
And it will come--to you! And it will come—to you!
And it will come--to you!
I AM ALL THINGS (Janis Kelly @2007)
I am all things, I am all things;
I am the Alpha and Omega, I am the hope that each one brings;
I am all things, I am all things;
I am the essence of all nature, I am the song each creature sings.
And in the midst of your doubt, when you are sure you’re alone;
And you feel lost and afraid—I am there (there)!
And in the midst of your pain, when you can cry no more tears;
And you are down on your knees—I am there!
I Am: Holy Spirit, Infinite Light;
Mother-Father-God, Day-Into-Night;
I Am: Mercy and Power, Wisdom and Might;
All that is glorious, all that is right!
So in the midst of despair, with sorrow camped at your door;
And darkness calling your name—I am there (there)!
And in the midst of your doubt, when you are sure you’re alone;
Open your hear, and you’ll know, open your heart, and you’ll know;
Open your heart, and you’ll know:
I AM THERE!
FREE CHILD OF GOD (Janis Kelly @2006)
I live as a free child of God;
I live as a free child of God;
I am free from my past, I am free at last,
I live as a free child of God;
I think as a free child of God;
I think as a free child of God;
I am free in my mind, I am free for all time,
I think as a free child of God;
I speak as a free child of God;
I speak as a free child of God;
I am free with my words, I am free to be heard,
I speak as a free child of God;
Oh, Freedom! Oh, Freedom!
Oh, Freedom! Oh, Freedom!
Oh, Freedom! Oh, Freedom!
Oh, Freedom—I am free!
I breathe as a free child of God;
I breathe as a free child of God;
I am free to expand, I am safe in God’s hands,
I breathe as a free child of God;
I think as a free child of God;
I speak as a free child of God;
I live as a free child of God!
(Freedom over me!)
FLYING FREE (Janis Kelly @2007)
I didn’t always recognize your beauty or your grace;
Or feel as if my presence brought a smile to your face;
But I knew you cared for me in your own special way;
And that is why—the time has come for me to say:
CHORUS: Thank you for love, thank you for life;
Thank you for the music, for the laughter and the light;
Thank you for you, thank you for me;
Thank you, Mom, for seeing me—the way I’d like to be!
*Thank you, Mom, for helping me—to finally fly free!
We didn’t always have the easiest of times;
Communicating how we felt, understanding each other’s lives;
But underneath the judgment, behind the words that caused pain;
Your love for me was steadfast—and so I’ll say it once again:
CHORUS
(2nd time) *Thank you, Mom, for helping me; thank you, Mom, for seeing me;
Thank you, Mom, for showing me—how to fly free!
Now I’m flying free—‘cause you believed in me!
YOU & GOD ARE ONE (Janis Kelly @2006)
In the stillness of this moment, all is perfect, peaceful, love;
In this quiet contemplation, wisdom flows from above;
As you free your mind of fear and lack, hold on to what is real;
Then you and God are truly one.
If you search within your heart, you will find a still, small voice;
That whispers to your soul of who you’ve always been;
As you trust your inner guidance and your own divinity;
Then you and God are truly one.
You are one with the Spirit, you are one with its love;
You are one with its presence and its power;
You are one with the Creator of the whole universe;
You are one with the light of the world!
In the stillness of this moment, all is perfect, peaceful, love;
In this quiet contemplation, wisdom flows from above;
As you free your mind of fear and lack, hold on to what is real;
Then you and God; then you and God;
Then you and God are truly one—you’re one!
