MAGICAL MOMENT
(Teri Wilder © 2007)
I HAD A SINGLE MOMENT WHEN THE UNIVERSE BURST OPEN
AND I FOUND THAT I WAS SAFE, AND I COULDN’T TURN AWAY
ALL THAT I COULD EVER BE WAS SHINING IN FRONT OF ME
AND ALL THAT I AM WAS RIGHT HERE IN MY HANDS
CHORUS
HERE I AM IN THE HEART OF MY BEING
IN A STATE OF GRACE
AND ALL IS WELL, YEAH, ALL IS WELL
HERE I AM IN THIS MAGICAL MOMENT
AND ALL, YEAH, ALL IS WELL
IN THE EYES OF SOMEONE LOVING IS A FEELING OVERWHELMING
AND THE GIVING IN TO BLISS, LIKE A SOUL’S HOLY KISS
IN EVERYTHING SURROUNDING ME, THE BEAUTY OF ETERNITY
AND EVERYTHING’S MADE OF THIS NEVER-ENDING LOVE
CHORUS
HERE I AM IN THE HEART OF MY BEING
IN A STATE OF GRACE
AND ALL IS WELL, YEAH, ALL IS WELL
HERE I AM IN THIS MAGICAL MOMENT
AND ALL, YEAH, ALL IS WELL
BRIDGE
ANYTIME I WANT, IT WILL BE
CAUSE THE MAGIC IS REALLY ME
IT’S ALL THAT IS
CHORUS
HERE I AM IN THE HEART OF MY BEING IN A STATE OF GRACE
AND ALL IS WELL YEAH, ALL IS WELL
HERE I AM IN THIS MAGICAL MOMENT
AND ALL, YEAH, ALL IS WELL
ALL, YEAH, ALL IS WELL
ALL, YEAH, ALL ... ALL IS WELL
HOW CAN I LOVE YOU MORE

FATHER TAUGHT ME LESSONS
A TEACHER AND A FRIEND
SAID, “HERE’S THE FAMILY BUSINESS -
LOVE WITHOUT END.”
SO I’M HERE TO CARRY ON
SHARE THE LIGHT THAT HAS GUIDED ME
WITH A QUESTION OR TWO THAT I’M ASKING OF YOU
MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME TO SEE...
CHORUS
HOW CAN I LOVE YOU MORE
AND HOW CAN I BE KINDER
HOW CAN I BE THERE FOR YOU WHEN YOU’RE NEEDING ME
THE ANSWER’S WORTH WAITING FOR
YOU NEVER HAVE TO FIND YOUR WAY ALONE
HOW CAN I LOVE YOU MORE
BELOVED TO BELOVED ... WITH STRANGERS PASSING BY
BETWEEN PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN ... EYE TO EYE
WE ARE HERE FOR JUST AWHILE
EVERY MOMENT IS OURS TO LIVE
WHEN WE ASK FROM THE HEART, THEN IT’S EASY TO START
AND THERE’S ONLY MORE TO GIVE
CHORUS
HOW CAN I LOVE YOU MORE
AND HOW CAN I BE KINDER
HOW CAN I BE THERE FOR YOU WHEN YOU’RE NEEDING ME
THE ANSWER’S WORTH WAITING FOR
YOU NEVER HAVE TO FIND YOUR WAY ALONE
HOW CAN I LOVE YOU MORE
BRIDGE
GOOD FOR ALL THE WORLD
GOOD FOR ALL THAT WILL EVER BE
GOOD FOR EVERY DREAM
GOOD FOR ALL OF ETERNITY
CHORUS
HOW CAN I LOVE YOU MORE
AND HOW CAN I BE KINDER
HOW CAN I BE THERE FOR YOU WHEN YOU’RE NEEDING ME
THE ANSWER’S WORTH WAITING FOR
YOU NEVER HAVE TO FIND YOUR WAY ALONE
HOW CAN I LOVE YOU MORE
HOW CAN I LOVE YOU MORE
HOW CAN I LOVE YOU MORE
MY PRAYER
(Teri Wilder ©2007)
WHEN I FIND MYSELF ALONE IN PRAYER
AND I’M LOOKING TO FIND COMFORT THERE
AND A THOUSAND VOICES BECKON TO BE HEARD
THEN THE QUESTION THAT COMES TO BE
WHICH VOICE IS THE REAL ME?
OR IS IT THE ONE THAT DOESN’T SAY A WORD?
CHORUS
WHERE IS MY OWN VOICE? WHAT IS MY SOUL’S CHOICE?
WHERE IS THE BREATH THAT BREATHS
AS WHO I’M HERE TO BE?
WHAT IS MY OWN PRAYER? IS IT EVER REALLY THERE?
THE SIMPLE STILLNESS WHERE I’M EVER FREE
IN THE SILENCE OF A SACRED ROOM
WHERE MY HEART HAS FOUND A BLESSED WOMB
IS THE VISION OF A MOTHER FILLED WITH GRACE
AND A MAN WHO DRIES THE TEARS HE CRIED
AND A CHILD WITH ARMS OUT OPEN WIDE
AND THE UNIVERSE BEYOND ALL TIME AND SPACE
CHORUS
THEN I HEARD ONE VOICE
SAYING “THIS IS YOUR SOUL’S CHOICE.
YOU ARE THE BREATH THAT BREATHS
AS WHO YOU’RE HERE TO BE
YOU ARE YOUR OWN PRAYER, AND IT IS ALWAYS THERE.
THAT SIMPLE STILLNESS WHERE YOU’RE EVER FREE”
BRIDGE
WHEN WE REMEMBER FINALLY
GOD BREATHS AND SPEAKS AS YOU AND ME
NO SEPARATENESS ... NO OTHER PIECE
AS ONE, WE’LL FIND RELEASE
CHORUS
WE ARE THE ONE VOICE ... WE ARE SPIRIT’S CHOICE
WE ARE THE BREATH THAT BREATHS
AS WHO WE’RE HERE TO BE
THERE’S ONLY ONE PRAYER ... AND IT IS EVERYWHERE
AND IN THAT STILLNESS, ALL ARE EVER FREE
WE ARE THE ONE PRAYER, AND WE ARE EVERYWHERE
AND IN THAT ONENESS, WE ARE EVER FREE

LOVE IS CALLING YOU (Don’t Run From Love)
Teri Wilder ©2007
A SIMPLE MAN HEARD A LOVING VOICE
HERE’S A CHANCE TO MAKE THINGS BRIGHTER
BUT THIS JUDGING MAN, HE MADE A CHOICE
TO FALL ASLEEP AND HIDE THERE
BUT THE TORRENTS CAME, AS THEY OFTEN DO
WHEN THE WINDS OF CHANGE COME BLOWING THROUGH
WAKE UP ... STEP UP ... LOVE IS CALLING YOU
CHORUS
DON’T RUN FROM LOVE ... IT’S ONLY THERE TO REMIND YOU
OF WHAT YOU HOLD DEEP INSIDE YOU ... OOOOHHHHH
IT’S ONLY LOVE CAN FIND YOU IN ANY DARKNESS
AND SHINE A LIGHT WHERE YOUR HEART IS ... OOOOHHHHH
LOVE IS CALLING YOU
A FRIGHTENED MAN INSIDE THE STORM
HOLDING ONLY HIS PRAYER
SWALLOWED WHOLE, THIS HUNGRY SOUL
DISCOVERED WISDOM THERE
IN COLD AND SHADOWED SOLITUDE
HE CAUGHT A BREATH OF GRATITUDE
WAKE UP ... STEP UP ... LOVE IS CALLING YOU
CHORUS
DON’T RUN FROM LOVE ... IT’S ONLY THERE TO REMIND YOU
OF WHAT YOU HOLD DEEP INSIDE YOU ... OOOOHHHHH
IT’S ONLY LOVE CAN FIND YOU IN ANY DARKNESS
AND SHINE A LIGHT WHERE YOUR HEART IS ... OOOOHHHHH
LOVE IS CALLING YOU
BRIDGE
THE DEPTH OF YOUR LOVE WILL ASTOUND YOU
BUT ONLY BY SETTING IT FREE
THEN BACK, LIKE THE TIDE, IT SURROUNDS YOU
THE LOVE IS IN LETTING IT BE
CHORUS
DON’T RUN FROM LOVE ... IT’S ONLY THERE TO REMIND YOU
OF WHAT YOU HOLD DEEP INSIDE YOU ... OOOOHHHHH
IT’S ONLY LOVE CAN FIND YOU IN ANY DARKNESS
AND SHINE A LIGHT WHERE YOUR HEART IS ... OOOOHHHHH
LOVE IS CALLING YOU
LOVE IS CALLING YOU
LOVE IS CALLING YOU

LITTLE DROP OF WATER
Teri Wilder © 2009
THERE’S A LITTLE DROP OF WATER ON MY BATHROOM WALL
I’M WATCHIN’ AND A-WOND’RIN’ WHEN IT’S GONNA FALL
IT’S MOVING OH, SO SLOWLY AND IT DON’T SEEM TO CARE
IF IT SHOULD HIT THE GROUND OR EVAPORATE INTO THE AIR
FOR NOW IT’S JUST HANGIN’ THERE
THIS LITTLE DROP OF WATER ON THE WALL
WHILE I’M WATCHING AND A-WOND’RING, IT OCCURS TO ME
THIS LITTLE DROP OF WATER HAS SOME HISTORY
THIS SURE MUST BE SOME WELL-TRAVELED HUMIDITY
SO WHAT BROUGHT IT ROUND RIGHT HERE
TO LAND IN FRONT OF ME
SO I ASKED IT, “WHAT’S YOUR STORY?”
THIS LITTLE DROP OF WATER ON THE WALL
IT USED TO BE THE OCEAN TUGGING AT THE MOON
ONCE IT WAS A STAR UPON A ROSE
ONE DAY IT EXPLODED FROM A WATER BALLOON
ONCE IT LEAPT FROM THE SKY ONTO EINSTEIN’S NOSE
IT SWAM THROUGH THE GILL OF A SILVERY FISH
IT ROLLED DOWN THE CHEEK OF A CHILD
WITH A PENNY AND A WELL, IT GAVE WINGS TO A WISH
IT WAS SWEATED FROM THE TONGUE OF SOMETHING WILD
IT GLISTENED WITH EXCITEMENT ON AN ASTRONAUT’S NECK
WAY UP IN OUTER SPACE, FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE
IT DROOLED FROM THE TOOTH OF A TYRANNOSAURUS REX
IT MOISTENED GRANNY’S BIRTHDAY CAKE
IT KISSED THE MISSISSIPPI AND SPLASHED IN THE SEINE
AND GAVE A THIRSTY MAN A NEEDED DRINK
IT MADE SUDS WITH MY SOAP AND AVOIDED THE DRAIN
THEN IT LANDED ON THE WALL NEXT TO MY BATHROOM SINK
THERE’S A LITTLE DROP OF WATER ON MY BATHROOM WALL
AND I’M NO LONGER WONDRIN’ IF IT’S GONNA FALL
WHILE I WAS THERE A-WAITIN’, IT OCCURRED TO ME
THAT, LIKE THIS LITTLE DROP OF WATER,
I HAVE SOME HISTORY
BUT WHATEVER I’VE DONE YEAR TO YEAR
ONE THING HAS BECOME SO VERY CLEAR
RIGHT NOW I’M JUST HANGING HERE
WITH THIS LITTLE DROP OF WATER ... ON THE WALL
MOTHER LOVE

CHORUS
O-OH MOTHER LOVE
BRING ME TO BIRTH, MY MOTHER LOVE
ROCK-A-BYE, ROCK-A-BYE THIS CHILD IN MOTHER LOVE
I CAN FEEL YOUR SUNLIGHT WARMING

CHORUS
O-OH MOTHER LOVE
OUT FROM THE EARTH COMES MOTHER LOVE
