1. Morning Has Broken Cat Stevens

Morning has broken like the first morning Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing. Praise for the morning Praise for them springing fresh from the world Sweet the rains new fall, sunlight from heaven Like the first dewfall on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Spring in completeness where His feet pass Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning Born of the one light, Eden saw play Praise with elation, Praise every morning Earth's recreation of the new day

2. Wo zwei oder drei Sandra Tamms

Wo zwei oder drei in meinem Namen versammelt sind Da bin ich mitten unter ihnen (2X) (When two or three are gathered in my name Then I am with them)

3. I Am the Only One Findhorn Foundation Community Singers

4. You've Got a Friend Carole King

When you're down and troubled and you need some loving care And nothin', nothin' is goin' right Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there To brighten up even your darkest night You just call out my name and you know wherever I am I'll come runnin’ to see you again Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call And I'll be there, yes I will, you've got a friend If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds And that old north wind begins to blow Keep your head together and call my name out loud Soon you'll hear me knockin' at your door You just call out my name… Now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend When people can be so cold They'll hurt you, yes and desert you And take your soul if you let them Oh but don't you let them You just call out my name...

5. How Could Anyone Findhorn Foundation Community Singers

How could anyone ever tell you You are anything less than beautiful How could anyone ever tell you You are less than whole How could anyone fail to notice That your life has been a miracle How deeply you’re committed to my soul

6. Just One Voice Ann Mortifee

A single note becomes a song A single tree becomes a forest A single voice that’s clear and strong Can turn into a world wide chorus Just one voice. One single voice If you say you can, well then you can A single moon turns the tide A single seed becomes the harvest A single sun within the sky keeps the whole world spinning for us Just one voice. One single voice If you say you can, well then you can, you can

And I can see a window opening I hear a voice from deep inside of me It is the dawning of a daring sunrise I feel the urge to step outside And here within the radiant laughter, we’ll make a dream and send it reeling In the magic of the ever after, you and I are one and we are simply Just one voice. One single voice If you say you can, well then you can A single drop becomes the rain A single step becomes the journey A single heart that tries again, can change the course of history’s journey Just one voice. One single voice If you say you can, well then you can, you can And I can see a window opening… Just one voice. One single voice If there’s just one voice, let it be yours and mine (4X)

7. We Are All One Planet Molly Scott

We are all one planet, all one people of Earth All one planet, sharing our living, our dying, our birth And we won’t stand by watching her die Hearing her cry and deny We live as she lives, we die as she dies (2X) So many ways to divide us So many ways to build boundaries and walls Systems we set up to hide us Neighborhoods, nations, ignoring the call Of the beings who live outside of the boundaries Inside of the skins that are different from ours Creatures whose eyes reflect the same skies And watch the same stars So many ways to hurt and not heal To speak and not listen, to act and not feel And too little time to be simple and see The circle includes every bird, every tree Every you, every me We are all one planet… Think of the things we love. Remember the ones we love Open our minds, our hearts and our hands and trust when we don’t understand We are all one planet…(2X)

8. Let It Be John Lennon & Paul McCartney

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be Let it be (4x) / Whisper words of wisdom, let it be And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree There will be an answer, let it be For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see There will be an answer, let it be Let it be (4x) / There will be an answer, let it be Let it be (4X) / Whisper words of wisdom, let it be (2x) And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me Shine until tomorrow, let it be I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be (4x) / There will be an answer, let it be Let it be (4x) / Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

9. Over the Rainbow Judy Garland

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high There’s a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true

Someday I’ll wish upon a star and wake up Where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops that’s where you’ll find me Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly


9

If birds fly over the rainbow Why then oh why can’t I (2X) If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why oh why can’t I?

10. Amazing Grace Johnny Cash

Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I’m found Was blind but now I see T’was grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed When we’ve been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Then when we first began 11. Donna Nobis Pacem Donna nobis pacem pacem Donna nobis pacem

Come on down Come on (brothers/mothers) let’s go down Down in the river to pray

You may say I'm a dreamer… I hope some day you'll join us and the world will live as one

15. Let Go and Let God Olivia Newton John

When you can’t find your direction And your heart won’t guide you home Let go and let God When your dreams are broken in the dust And you’ve lost the will to trust Let go and let God Let the signs remind you, we are passengers Let the signs remind you to surrender, to surrender Let go and let God Nonyo ho ringe yo, Nonyo ho ringe yo, Nonyo ho ringe yo, Nonyo ho ringe yo When fate has died in fire and there’s no spark to feed the flame Let go and let God When your courage fails you and the well of hope runs dry Let go and let God Let the signs remind you, we are passengers Let the signs remind you to surrender, to surrender Let go and let God Nonyo ho ringe yo, Nonyo ho ringe yo, Nonyo ho ringe yo, Nonyo ho ringe yo (2x) Let the signs remind you, we are passengers Let the signs remind you to surrender, to surrender Let go and let God (3x)

16. Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream Pete Seeger

Last night I had the strangest dream, I never dreamed before I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war I dreamed I saw a mighty room, the room was full of men And the paper they were signing said they’d never fight again And when the paper was all signed, and a million copies made They all joined hands and bowed their heads And grateful prayers were prayed And the people in the streets below were dancing round and round And swords and guns and uniforms were scattered on the ground Last night I had the strangest dream I never dreamed before I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war I dreamed I saw a mighty room, the room was full of men And the paper they were signing said they’d never fight again

17. Let There Be Peace on Earth Vince Gill

Let there be peace on Earth And let it begin with me Let there be peace on Earth The peace that was meant to be With God as our Father Brothers all are we Let me walk with my brother In perfect harmony Let peace begin with me Let this be the moment now With every step I take Let this be my solemn vow To take each moment and live each moment In peace eternally Let there be peace on Earth And let it begin with me (2x)

18. From a Distance Bette Midler

From a distance the world looks blue and green And the snow capped mountains white From a distance the ocean meets the stream and the eagle takes to flight From a distance there is harmony and it echoes through the land It’s the voice of hope It’s the voice of peace It’s the voice of every man From a distance we all have enough and no one is in need And there are no guns, no bombs and no disease No hungry mouths to feed From a distance we are instruments marching in a humble band Playing songs of hope Playing songs of peace They’re the songs of every man God is watching us. God is watching us God is watching us from a distance From a distance you look like my friend even though we are at war From a distance I just cannot comprehend what all this fighting is for From a distance there is harmony and it echoes through the land And it’s the hope of hopes It’s the loves of loves It’s the heart of every man It’s the hope of hopes It’s the love of loves This is the song of every man God is watching us. God is watching us God is watching us from a distance (2X)

19. Lord of the Dance The Dubliners

I danced in the morning when the world was young I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth In Bethlehem I had my birth Dance, dance wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance said he And I’ll lead you all wherever you may be And I’ll lead you all in the dance said he I danced for the scribes and the Pharisees They would not dance, they would not follow me I danced for the fishermen James and John They came with me so the dance went on Dance…

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame The holy people said it was a shame They whipped, they stripped, they hung me high Left me there on the cross to die Dance… I danced on a Friday when the world turned black It’s hard to dance with the devil on your back They buried my body, they thought I was gone But I am the dance and the dance goes on Dance… They cut me down and they leapt up high I am the life that will never, never die I’ll live in you if you’ll live in me I am the Lord of the Dance said he Dance…

20. The Garden Song Pete Seeger

Inch by inch, row by row Gonna make this garden grow Gonna mulch it deep and low Gonna make it fertile ground Inch by inch, row by row Please bless these seeds I sow Please keep them safe below Till the rain comes tumbling down Pullin’ weeds and pickin’ stones We are made of dreams and bones Need a spot to call my own ‘Cos the time is close at hand Grain for grain, sun and rain Find my way in nature’s chain Tune my body and my brain To the music of the land Inch by inch, row by row… Plant your rows short or long Season them with prayer and song Mother Earth will make you strong If you give her loving care An old crow watches from up a tree Got his hungry eye on me In my garden I’m as free As that feathered thief up there Inch by inch, row by row…

21. There are Angels Edith Wallace

Sometimes it seems we’re all running around in our own directions Sometimes it seems we’ve forgotten which way to turn Sometimes it seems all we see is the light of our own reflection Caught in the flame of the bridges we have burned There are angels who walk among us Helping sharing shining light Precious angels here among us Guide us through they’ll walk with you And everything will be alright Sometimes it seems life’s the jigsaw puzzle with one piece missing Sometimes it seems we’ve all lost the rules to the game And all we really want are magic wands to keep on wishing Someone might remember us by name There are angels…

What if our wings are still folded What if we aren’t quite ready to see What if we’ve made mistakes along life’s journey There are still a little bit of the angels in you and me There are angels…


17

24. Born to Live Ann Mortifee/Michael Legrand

We were born to live, not just survive Though the road be long and the river wide Though the seasons change and the willows bend Though some dreams break, some others mend We were born to give and born to take To win and lose and to celebrate We were born to know and born to muse To unfold our hearts, take a chance and choose We were born to love though we feel the thorn When a ship sets sail to return no more Though a door be closed and we feel the pain To chance it all and to love again We were born to reach, to seek what’s true To surrender all, to make each day new We were born to laugh and born to cry To rejoice and grieve, just to be alive We were born to hope and to know despair And to stand alone when there’s no one there We were born to trust and to understand That in every heart there’s an outstretched hand We were born to love, to be right and wrong To be false and true, to be weak and strong We were born to live, to break down the wall And to know that life is to taste it all

25. Hallelujah Leonard Cohen

Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord But you don’t really care for music do ya? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall the major lift The battle king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah (4X) Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to her kitchen chair, she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah(4X) You say I took the name in vain but I don’t even know the name But if I did well really what’s it to ya There’s a blaze of light in every word it doesn’t matter which ya heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah (4X) I did my best it wasn’t much I couldn’t feel so I tried to touch I’ve told the truth I didn’t come to fool ya And even though it all went wrong I’ll stand before the Lord of Song with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah (16X)

26. What A Wonderful World Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself, what a wonderful world I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself, what a wonderful world The colours of the rainbow so pretty in disguise Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying, “How do you do?” They’re really saying, “I love you.” I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever knew And I think to myself, what a wonderful world Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

27. The Great Invocation From the point of light within the Mind of God Let Light stream forth into the minds of men Let Light descend on Earth From the point of Love with the Heart of God Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men. May Christ return to Earth. From the centre where the Will of God is known Let purpose guide the little wills of men The purpose that the Masters know and serve. From the center which we call the race of men Let the Plan of Love and Light work out. And may it seal the door where evil dwells. Let Light and Love and Power restore the plan on Earth. (3x)

28. Come Healing Leonard Cohen

O gather up the brokenness And bring it to me now The fragrance of those promises You never dared to vow The splinters that you carry The cross you left behind Come healing of the body Come healing of the mind And let the heavens hear it The penitential hymn Come healing of the spirit Come healing of the limb Behold the gates of mercy In arbitrary space And none of us deserving The cruelty or the grace O solitude of longing Where love has been confined Come healing of the body Come healing of the mind O see the darkness yielding That tore the light apart Come healing of the reason Come healing of the heart O troubled dust concealing An undivided love The Heart beneath is teaching To the broken Heart above O let the heavens falter And let the earth proclaim: Come healing of the Altar Come healing of the Name O longing of the branches


23

To lift the little bud O longing of the arteries To purify the blood And let the heavens hear it The penitential hymn Come healing of the spirit Come healing of the limb (2X)
