This morning I finally "put my money where my mouth is," by rising at 4 a.m. PST and praying for world peace with millions of my fellow brothers and sisters around the planet. Although I felt initially resistant to getting up so early, I realized that I cannot purport to be a "peacenick," and then sleep through the revolution! At a result, my husband, my roommate and I spend a lovely hour together praying, meditating and chanting together and I would like to share the lyrics to some of my original chants below (I would also be happy to send you printed music for any of them...):
I STAND FOR PEACE
I stand for peace, hope and healing;
For myself and all the earth;
I know that we all are connected;
In life, in death, in birth;
I stand for peace, peace;
I stand for peace, peace--I stand for peace.
I stand for peace, hope and healing;
For myself and for the world;
I know that we must stand together;
And our voices must be heard;
I stand for peace, peace;
I stand for peace, peace--I stand for peace.
I WANT TO BE AT PEACE
I want to be at peace within my heart;
I want to be at peace within my soul;
I want to be at peace within my mind;
I want to be at peace within my life;
I want to be an instrument--of love's perfect peace.
PEACE CANON
Peace, peace, peace;
I am a stand for peace;
Peace within me, peace around me;
All is peace.
Peace, peace, peace;
The world can live in peace;
Love our neighbor as your brother;
All is peace.
Peace, peace, peace;
The time has come for peace;
Peace in you and peace in me;
All is peace.
PEACE WHICH PASSES
Now may the peace which passes all understanding;
Heal your hearts and minds and lives;
And may the One from whom all blessings flow upon us;
Fill you with Its love and light.
Peace, deep peace;
Peace, deep in inside my sould;
Light, pure light;
Love, love that makes us whole.
Peace inside my soul, peace inside my soul;
Peace inside my soul, deep peace inside my soul;
Light within my heart, light within my heart;
Love that fills us up and makes us whole.
Now may the peace which passes all understanding;
Heal your hearts and minds (minds, minds)--and lives!
PEACE BEGINS WITH ME
Peace--deep peace;
Peace begins with me;
Peace--deep peace;
Peace begins with me.
Love--true love;
Love begins with me;
Love--true love;
Love begins with me.
Light--pure light;
Light begins with me;
Light--pure light;
Light begins with me.
Hope--real hope;
Hope begins with me;
Hope--real hope;
Hope begins with me.
PEACE ABOUNDS
Peace within;
Peace around;
Peace throughout;
Peace will abound.
On this day, dear family, I wish you peace, blessings & brilliance and a phenomenal 2009!
