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.
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.
Oh, this is the house we've been dreaming of.
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
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.
By Alexandra Sarton Love
My body is fly
My body is beautiful
My body is bold
My body is mine
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.
