CHIMAYO
(Pamela Polland)
lyrics adapted from "A Poem From A Blind Man" by George Mendoza.
I am blind, I've traveled many miles
To a place called Chimayo,
It's a place I love, in its silence and its peace,
To this heaven I must go.
Where the sun falls asleep without regret,
It's that old country feeling I can't forget.
Settled by a people with a friendly hand,
Where they still tell stories about miracles in the land,
Santuario.
If you are a stranger, weary from the struggles of life,
Follow that long mountain road,
You may have a handicap, you may have a broken heart,
You'll find a home in Chimayo.
Where the sun falls asleep without regret,
It's that old country feeling I can't forget.
Graceful as a flower in the summer breeze,
Nestled in a valley with wild berry trees,
Santuario.
I am blind, I've traveled many miles
To this Santuario,
Chimayo.
Chimayo.

THE WELCOMING
(Kenny Loggins)
May the Spirit enter into this room
May our hearts be filled with her light
May she ever surround and protect us
And may always her beauty be here by our side
Our love has grown - into a home
And suddenly everything I've learned has a place it can start
Cuz finally love has come and taken a place in our hearts
This is our Welcoming /Open up and let it in
Feel it happening / Spirit's beckoning
Welcome to our Welcoming
May your eyes be filled with wonder and joy
May your arms be filled with delight
May your heart be as easily opened
As the moment of grace in the birth of a child
Love's gentle touch (Has)shown me so much
And suddenly everything I've learned has a place it can start
Cuz finally love has come and taken a place in our hearts
CHORUS (2x)
(Angel voices)
Come everybody let us lift our hearts and celebrate together
And every one of us can lift our voices, sing and dance together

SANCTUARY
(Pamela Polland)
3/90 for Bill
When I'm growin' weary
And the load is getting too hard to carry
You come to me..........and ooooo......
You're my Sanctuary (2x)
When my heart is heavy
With all the troubles this world seems to carry
You come to me.........and ooooo........
You're my sanctuary (3x)
In the night when stars are bright
You're there to wrap me up in the warm love of your arms.
In the day even when you're far away
Your love's there to lean on......to keep me from harm!
And ooooo..........
You're my sanctuary..........
You're my sanctuary.........
You're my sanctuary.........

THE QUICKENING
(Pamela Polland / Gay Hendricks)
Deep inside me there's a river
And this river's now in flood
When I'm near you there's a surging
A surging in my blood
Deep inside me there's a stream
A stream of dancing light
When I see you my heart quickens
Like wild swans taking flight
When I think you seem to hear it
When you hurt I cannot bear it
Do I dare to hope you share it?
This quickening of my love. (2x)
By the seashore I went walking
And found a lonely shell
In its center there's a roaring
Eternity cannot quell
My hear t had turned to winter
A cold and graceless land
That sprang to joy and laughter
When I first touched your hand
When I think you seem to hear it
When you hurt I cannot bear it
Do I dare to hope you share it?
This quickening of my love (2x)

I LOVE YOUR WAYS
(Gary Malkin / Dan Mountain)
Oh, I love your ways
Oh, I want to spend my days
In your warm embrace
I feel your grace fill my time
Oh, I've seen you laugh and cry
Oh, I've seen you light the sky
I've learned to love your gentle ways
And know your courage
You laugh at fate
You walk your own way
Without a word, I always knew
I feel your dreams, I know your mercy
For all your days
I love your ways
SOLO
Oh, I've seen you laugh and cry
Oh, I've seen you light the sky
I've learned to love your gentle ways
And know your courage
Oh, I love your ways.

HONOURING
(Pamela Polland)
Ah......Honouring.....we are Honouring
Ah......Honouring.........we are Honouring.
We are honouring each other - of that you can be sure
Ah........Honouring.......we are Honouring
The bond that we created with our loving will endure
Ah.......Honouring
When I reached out for loving friendship - you were always there
Ah........Honouring........we are Honouring
And by your example, I learned how to offer care
Through........Ah........Honouring.
People often meet as part of joyful situations,
Friends connecting friendships - we extend our families:
Then life's tribulations take their toll and separation
will occur - unless we take the time for
Ah.......Honouring........we are Honouring.........
Love and understanding - on these you can depend
Ah........Honouring.........we are Honouring
Problems may arise between us - we will always mend
With......Ah.......Honouring.
I can be open when I'm with you,
If I get stuck, you pull me through,
And all of this you do with
Ah.........Honouring..........we are Honouring
Ah.......Honouring.........Honouring..............

A PLACE TO BE
(Pamela Polland / Gay Hendricks)
Somewhere love waits for me
In a place that's clear and free
I can go there,
I can grow there,
A place to be.
Somewhere love waits for me
A calm strong energy
I can breathe there,
I'll be free there,
A place to be.
I've walked a thousand miles alone
Gave up and then made myself go on
Has someone out there heard my cries?
I can not, will not compromise.
I want someone to hold me tight
Who holds me while I dance in light,
I know that somewhere, out there, in here,
There's a place to be.
Somewhere love waits for me
In a place that's clear and free
I can go there,
I can grow there,
I can breathe there,
I'll be free there,
A place to be

STRIP AWAY
(Pamela Polland)
I think I know what I'm doing
I think I know what I'm doing
I think I know what I'm doing with you.........
In matters of Love, I like to play fastball,
Not that it's always been good for me;
I've gone for the fast climb, suffered the fast fall,
How I remain standing is complete mystery.
And when we strip away these vines around our hearts
We'll find a pool of love - deep inside -
Come on, let's strip away - let's find a cleaner start -
Strip away !
I know what I want, you fit the description,
Now it's a question of wait or pursue:
I know what I need, you fill the prescription,
Now I'm left with the rush of attraction to you.
(CHORUS)
I think I know what I'm doing
I think I know what I'm doing (Total 6x)
I think I know what I'm doing with you..........
I don't want to stretch, I don't want to slow down,
I'm pulled by desire and I don't want to wait:
If Love is like quicksand, together we'll go down,
Holding on to each other we'll make our escape.
(CHORUS 2x)
I think I know what I'm doing
I think I know what I'm doing
I think I know......................................

INTIMACY
(Pamela Polland)
Now that I know myself - I want to know you
That loving partnership that we can grow into
I'm ready to care for you and have you care for me
OOO.......Intimacy.
Now that I trust myself - I want to trust in you
Unfold those old ideas and make them just like new
With will and willingness to share. we'll face life's mystery
OOO......Intimacy.
Locked in our private world
We're free to move boundlessly
Free to express ourselves - free to receive:
I vow to hold nothing back,
I ask that you hold nothing back from me.
Now that I love myself - I'm able to love you
To understand your needs and want to rise up to
We'll play a sweet duet in each other's symphony
OOO.........Intimacy.
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
Intimacy...........Intimacy.........Intimacy.

LETTING GO
(Pamela Polland)
For all the ways in which I hardened - Now I'm letting go,
For all the ways in which I held back - Now I'm letting go,
For all the ways in which I tightened - Now I'm letting go,
Right now.......finally........Now I'm letting go.
For all the times in which I held on - Now I'm letting go,
For all the times I tried to stay on track - Now I'm letting go,
For all the times I never lightened - Now I'm letting go,
Right now.........finally.......Now I'm letting go.
Never able to feel perfect and pure,
Imprisoned by what I thought was right,
Never able to join with God,
Always standing just outside the Light,
Now I'm going all the way home.
Right now............finally..........Now I'm letting go.
