Peace in the Key of E

AChords

When there are harmonious accords,

they contain their own rewards.

Manipulations go astray,

wandering and tangling every way.

Play it straight

and play it true.

That's the way to see it through!

Notes

The music plays and sings the way

to brighter, stronger , light-strewn day.

Nights of hope and days sublime

combine to find the happy time.

As we bring to what is new,

past gifts that have seen us through,

we blend them in the finest ways

with all the love and truth that stays.

Music Lesson

Fill your hearts with music,
join the world of love.
Sing the songs of happiness,
rising with the dove.

Play the harps of wonder
in the silent nights.
Shine the stars from deep inside
up to the glorious heights.

Listen to the sounds of peace,
finding fresh ways through.
While honoring the older truths,
combining them with the new.

Sparkle all the pathways,
softening them with care,
tossing up the signs of hope,
here and everywhere.

Rest on solid bonds of trust;
move with notes of grace,
Birthing beauty timelessly
in its eternal place.

Songs of Grace

Singing softly through the night,
by the glow of candlelight.

Spreading beams from near and far,
just because of who we are.

As we move in time and space,
we are filled with newborn grace.

Stars of hope still shine our way,
through the night and newborn day.

Hide and Seek

When we hide and do not seek

we lose the ways there are to speak

to loving hearts and spacious minds

that sing the songs of humankinds.

Simplicity

The simple songs and easy rhymes

help us through the troubled times.

Living truths that never cease

are hearts of hope

and ways of peace.

Wonders bright and star-kissed eyes

are the searchers' secret prize.

New ways unfold while old ones guide

with warmth and wisdom

wrapped in pride.

As they meet and blend as one,

they know that they have found the sun.
