Serenade for Seraphim... a song for our Angels
a Song for our Angels
by Troubadours of Divine Bliss
You're an Angel, that's what you are
You're the reason, I made it this far
and I don't have wish cause you are the star of this show, don't you know?
You're the reason I believe in miracles and destiny
You're the Guardian of my Dreams
When I was far away from home, you gave me a place to lay my head
When I felt all alone, you suddenly appeared
When my hands were empty, you reached out to share
When it seemed my dreams would not come true, you were the answer to my prayer
you were always there
When hope was lost, you gave me yours
My Compass, My Anchor
when I was drifting out to sea,
you saw my need and rescued me
Your the wind beneath my sails
my truest friend that never fails
Your the coin in my Wishing Well
When I was far away from home, you gave me a place to lay my head
When I felt all alone, you suddenly appeared
When my hands were empty, you reached out to share
When it seemed my dreams would not come true, you were the answer to my prayer
you were always there
You're my Angel, my Alchemist
You made a way where none exists
From the seed you gave- this Garden lives
You're a messenger of kindness
You're the Muse in my music,
an instrument of bliss
and I vow to give the others this gift
When I was far away from home, you gave me a place to lay my head
When I felt all alone, you suddenly appeared
When my hands were empty, you reached out to share
When it seemed my dreams would not come true, you were the answer to my prayer
you were always there
Thank you for your love sublime
your gracious gifts, your bread and wine
Thank you for being the Hand of the Divine
My heart's so full of gratitude
for all the ways you see me through
You are my Angel right here on Earth
Thank you for being an Angel on Earth
Invite the Light
Take me down, Take me down
Take me down to the water's edge
where I know that I'll be fed
Take me down
Cause I've grown tired of the games and weary of the ways of this world
Lead me on, Lead me on
Lead me on to a brand new dawn
where I know that I belong
Lead me on and on
cause I've grown tired of the games and weary of the ways of this world
oooh When I'm feelin tossed about and lost at sea
No one in sight to rescue me
I hold on, I know I carry on
I grow strong when I invite the Light of Love to shine through me
Invite the Light of Love to shine through me
then it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
yes it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
Lift me up, Lift me up
Lift me up higher and higher
til I can feel your love....lift me up
cause I've grown tired of the games and weary of the ways of this world
Pour through me, Pour through me a new anointing
Pour through me
cause I've grown tired of the games and weary of the ways of this world
oooh When I'm feelin tossed about and lost at sea
No one in sight to rescue me
I hold on, I know I carry on
I grow strong when I invite the Light of Love to shine through me
Invite the Light of Love to shine through me
then it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
yes it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
oooh When I'm feelin tossed about and lost at sea
No one in sight to rescue me
I hold on, I know I carry on
I grow strong when I invite the Light of Love to shine through me
Invite the Light of Love to shine through me
then it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
yes it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
The Greening
Spring has sprung as Winter falls asleep
and I'm in love with every little beating thing
there's a skip in my step, there's a whistle through the leaves
the clouds are pullin taffy, the birds are laughing
there's a dandelion growing through the crack of my smile
and my skin aint seen the Sun in quite a long while
as the sky lingers long, the horizon fills in
with everything that yearns to be born again...
I'm alive. It feels so free.
I'm on the inside of The Greening
Shattered the brittle frost and shivered into Opening...
I'm waking to be...in the Greening
I wanna feel the Deep Hum of Knowing
sow my roots into The Source and surrender to my growing
to know both the Seed and the Ancient Tree sowing itself into sky
Rumi says, "With the one rose you've purchased this Rose Garden- one seed, a wilderness"
I say, what a gift, what a simply wondrous gift...
the surprise of basil on my lover's lips
and the peppery wine that we sipped
and how everything that flowers opens itself like a cup- like a bell
like a hand longing to be held
I'm alive. It feels so free.
I'm on the inside of The Greening
Shattered the brittle frost and shivered into Opening...
I'm waking to be...in the Greening
How can it be that ball of fire, light years from me, finds It's way to lay a kiss on my cheek?
There are billions of us spinning like one-of-a-kind stars
aching to discover just what we are
like the moment the winged one first takes flight
like the first spark of dawn that lifts the curtain of night
so Disband the guards! Let down the gates! Unveil my heart cause it's Life that I chase...
I'm alive. It feels so free.
I'm on the inside of The Greening
Shattered the brittle frost and shivered into Opening...
I'm waking to be...in the Greening

Shake the Devil, an Anthem for the Occupy Movement

"Shake the Devil" lyrics
Fine tailored suit, bloodstain on his White collar
He'd cut Somebody's job to make a few more dollars
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
Who's that Woman- you've seen her on TV-
Made quite a fortune from her company
While all the work was done by People making pennies
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman
It's time for The Haves to meet The Have Nots
Give a little of what they've got
Let's kick the money changers out of the Temple
It's true the Love of Money's the root of all evil
We sold our souls for little bit of dough
to thieves who stole from the starving
What can we do? Do what we can!
When you're faced with a choice you're either
Taking a Stand or Shaking the Devil's Hand
Who's that man with perfect hair waving his hand
Selling smiles to the highest bidding Corporation
He thinks the Golden Rule means to Rule in Gold
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
Who's that man with the Bible in his hand
Charging an entrance fee to the Promised Land
Says,"Blessed are the Meek!" then drives off in a limousine
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, Lord that Man
It's time for The Haves to meet The Have Nots
Give a little of what they've got
Let's kick the money changers out of the Temple
It's true the love of money's the root of all evil
We sold our souls for little bit of dough
to thieves who stole from the starving
What can we do? Do what we can!
When you're faced with a choice you're either
Taking a Stand or Shaking the Devil's Hand
Who's that Woman working PR for the plant
Children's health takes a backseat to her job security
It's more cost effective to poison the air they breathe
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman
Who's that Man drilling for Oil in the Sand?
Does he have a purpose? Does he have a plan?
Ransom their their treasure for the highest price they can demand
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, Lord that Man
It's time for The Haves to meet The Have Nots
Give a little of what they've got
Let's kick the money changers out of the Temple
It's true the love of money's the root of all evil
We sold our souls for little bit of dough
to thieves who stole from the starving
What can we do? Do what we can!
When you're faced with a choice you're either
Taking a Stand or Shaking the Devil's Hand
Shake the Devil...Shake the Devil...Shake the Devil

Lyrics to "It is Well" by Troubadours of Divine Bliss

Take this hurt, empty this cup
I've been drinking from it long enough
Let it spill all the poison that it holds
I am thirsty but not for this
I can taste on my lips
the sweet nectar of letting this all go
Lift me up, Make me well
So in my heart Love may dwell
Make me well, make me well, make me well
Lift me up, Make me whole
Make me peaceful in my Soul
It is well, it is well, it is well
Take this anger and it's clenches
There's no safety in these trenches
Let this battle finally be won
I want to fight for peace not war
Wield my sword of truth but only for
Opening and letting this all go
Lift me up, Make me well
So in my heart Love may dwell
Make me well, make me well, make me well
Lift me up, Make me whole
Make me peaceful in my Soul
It is well, it is well, it is well
Take this fear from my head
I want to wear a crown instead
Filled with jewels of compassion,
courage, grace and love
Move these mountains, lift these veils
I haven't lost, I haven't failed
I've been forged, fired, revealed
I am healed
Lift me up, Make me well
So in my heart Love may dwell
Make me well, make me well, make me well
Lift me up, Make me whole
Make me peaceful in my Soul
It is well, it is well, it is well
