Words by Rev. Dr. Rebecca Parker

Music by Elizabeth (Beth) Norton

There is a Love holding me; There is a Love holding all that I love;

There is a Love holding all; I rest in this love.

There is a Love holding us; There is a Love holding all that we love;

There is a Love holding all; We rest in this love.

210. In This House with MaMuse

By Karisha Longaker

In this house, we lead with love.

In this house, we lift each other up.

In this house, we learn to fly with the dove.

Oh, this is the house we've been dreaming of.

So come on over (come on over),

Welcome in (welcome in),

Come on over (come on over).

Let's be friends (let's be friends).

Come on over (come on over).

There is enough.

Oh, this is the house we've been dreaming of.

101. Sacred Breaking

By Hannah Jeffery

The only way to be here is to be constantly breaking open

How else do we make sense of this human experience?

Beauty, break me open

Tragedy, break me open

Humility, break me open

Love, crack open my heart

Heartbreak is our birthright

It's the only way to be here

Heartbreak is our birthright

It's the only way we can heal

158. Quiet At First

Music by Eileen Webb

Lyrics by Kai Skye

It's quiet at first,

this song of love

for all the living things.

But once you start to hear it,

it's quite impossible to pretend

there's something better

you could be doing.

178. My Body

By Alexandra Sarton Love

My body is fly

My body is beautiful

My body is bold

My body is mine

123. Arms of Love

By Alexa Sunshine Rose

Come now child, lay it down

Just breathe

Just be

Come be cradled in the arms of love

Just breathe, just be.
