ACIMGLOW Lyrics
God Is leo genereux 19Aug2016
A dark, foreboding inner voice fills my heart with fear,
And terrified for my very life, I listen closely to what I hear.
But what I hear is what I wish, and what I wish is what I see,
With eyes that I made to testify to my separate 'reality'.
Guilt that oozes from below, I vainly try to quell,
Quickly pointing fingers of blame in a desperate dance to sidestep hell.
But hell is not a horrid place my soul can hope to evade,
Hell is in the hopeless mind that believes the god it made.
Hell is believing in the god it made.
When the preacher preaches of a 'God' that sacrificed his son;
A holy man nailed to a cross, a bloody crown of thorns,
The sickening churn of guilt is felt for all my dreadful sins
But no remorse could ever source my secretly rejected innocence.
Which god is true among them all, who must I repay
In this endless war believers wage to underscore their chosen ways?
With dogmas filled with condemnation, sacrificing blood and bone,
But belief in God is an empty nod, for God can but be known.
God can but be known.
If the vicious voice within my head is filling me with dread
it's because I chose to idolize one of my little gods instead.
Stressing out in my split mind world, filled with conflicting goals,
Bumpity bump I take the dumps, my gods are filled with potholes.
My wish to 'live' separately surrounds me with gods of fear
A crazy miscreation, with a change of mind it could all disappear.
By admitting my lonely, little self was just a fantasy,
I could now reclaim my real name, my true Identity.
When God is the only goal,
Peace is the only feeling.
All little gods can disappear.
When God is the only goal.
Forgiveness is the only song.
All grievances are quickly gone.
When God is the only goal.
Changeless love is everywhere.
Everything becomes so clear.
When God is the only goal.
Certainty replaces doubt.
Not a soul is left without.
When God is the only goal.
Happy dreams replace nightmares.
A gentle voice is all I hear.
When God is the only goal.
The end of war has finally come.
All the sons can live as one.
When God is the only goal.
God is. God is. God is. God is.
God is. God is. God is. God is.

Home, home, home
Love, love, love is all there is
Love, love, love is all there is.
Misthoughts of a fragment split off from the One
Can only make a dream of separation.
In our arrogance we are 'free'
To suffer pain and die
Believing in illusions totally insane.
Being 'free' to choose the crazy dream of fear
We're also free to choose again,
To make it disappear.
We are dreaming separation,
We're the dreamers of separation.
Love, love, love is all there is
Love, love, love is all there is.
We are home in Heaven
Home in Heaven we are
We are home in Heaven we are
We're 'free' to suffer hell in our imaginings
We're also 'free' to make belief it's real
But beyond our dream so riveting
Love remains concealed
Waiting silently for us to heal.
Nothing but an instant separates us from the One
Nothing but our fear foils our communion
No sin has been committed,
No evil has been done,
We remain the Innocence of Heaven.
Love, love, love is all there is
Love, love, love is all there is.
We are home in Heaven
Home in Heaven we are
We are home in Heaven we are.
Love, love, love is all there is
Love, love, love is all there is.
We are home in Heaven
Home in Heaven we are
We are home in Heaven we are.
Home, home, home, home, home, home.

The Spirit Speaks leo genereux 04Apr2017
Once beyond all time, a limitless mind
Formed a strange idea of limitation
And forgetting to laugh at this laughable idea
A world of separate minds seemed to appear.
'Reality' there is a something to fear
And 'peace' is just another word
'love' has become so special, and so dear;
The faintest whisper that's seldom heard.
The choice for something more
More than everything
Left me, alas, with a whole lot less.
Buried is the memory angels singing
Replaced by a noisy emptiness.
The choice for something more
More than everything
Has left me alone, hustling to find a home
Unknown is the feeling they called bliss
And ecstasy's just a name on a drug dealer's list.
So here I am trapped again, or so it seems
In this insane dream world illusion
For the self-deceiving dreamer can only deceive;
For all he sees reflects but his confusion.
But with the help of a Friend this nightmare could end
By choosing for my mind to return
Return to that instant, once beyond all time
Where the fear of limitless Love can be unlearned.
For there's another use for words
From this voice that would betray
Abandoning belief in the pitifully absurd,
The Holy Spirit speaks through me today.
With silent words only holiness would say.
There is another use for words
From this voice that would betray.
Lifting the curse that could never have been heard
The Holy Spirit speaks through me today.
With silent words only holiness could say.
The spirit speak, the spirit speaks, the spirit speaks through me
The Holy Spirit speaks through me today.
The spirit speak, the spirit speaks, the spirit speaks through me
The Holy Spirit speaks through me today.
The spirit speaks, the spirit speaks, spirit speaks through us
Holy Spirit speaks through us today.
The spirit speaks, the spirit speaks, spirit speaks through us
Holy Spirit speaks through us today.
Holy, holy, the spirit speaks through us
Holy Spirit speaks through us today.

Salvation leo genereux 14June2012
The evil I see all around me Is but a mirror, not a fact;
A reflection of my state of mind, deluded self looking back.
Becoming aware of my arrogance when I 'humbly' protest
That I am only a human how could I ever be sinless?
Salvation, where is salvation?
Uncovering the insanity behind the ego's clause
That defends my limitations as a just and noble cause.
Being mindful of the moments when I harm myself by
Attacking with hatred this body I seem to occupy.
Salvation, where is salvation?
Learning to undo the view that leaves me lost and afraid.
Losing the belief in losers for the truth that everyone gains.
Every separate aspect of this fragmented world
Remains safe and undivided in the Mind of God's Will;
Salvation, salvation.
Innocence demands no victims, for no evil could ever occur,
No just cause for anger, and no sickness needing a cure.
To recall the perfect love that has never gone away
This vision, merciful and holy is the gift I seek today.
Salvation, salvation.
The guilt that separates God and I Is but a dark lie to obscure
Seeing with the spirit's eyes, reveals all beings as pure.
Believing in enemies no more, forsaking the draw of war
In wholeness and certainty, choosing peace forevermore.
Salvation, salvation.
The reign of fear is over when I choose to leave behind
The dream of separation that fragmented my mind
What I am, in truth Is not the prisoner of this dream
With all my brothers in Heaven there I still remain.
Salvation, salvation.
Undoing my belief in the dark fantasy
Frees me to be the witness to light's reality
Guided by the vision from the Holy Spirit's eyes.
The goal of all the Sons of God I finally realize.
I finally realize.
I came for the salvation of the world.* I came
For the salvation of the world.
I came for the salvation of the world.* I came
For the salvation of the world.
We came for the salvation of the world.
We came for the salvation of the world.
We came for the salvation of the world.
We came for the salvation of the world.

Gentle Wind leo genereux 14July2019
This world with all its splendor
Mountains high and oceans deep
All sensations of pain and pleasure
Just shadows dancing in our sleep.
To make new use of our perception
Is each dreamer's destiny
Beyond our self-deceptions
Returning to the peaceful certainty.
Each moment there's another chance
A spark to light this dark, dark world
To break away from our ego trance
And hear again the gentle wind that calls.
.
Gentle wind
Gentle wind
Gentle wind.
This dream we call reality
Where life is prey to deadly enemies
Evil born to feed the ego's nasty creed
That justifies every fear and every need.
I feel now that I am ready
To pull aside the veil that hides
The secret wish to be so heavy
Instead I choose the spirit's ride.
Gentle wind, gentle wind
Soothing, healing, softly feeling
The touch of the gentle wind.
To hear again the gentle wind that calls.
Gentle wind
Gentle wind
Gentle wind.
Children lost within our childish wish
Self-inflicting such cruel loneliness
Weak and weary, so sad and dreary
Believing in our dream of separateness
But, the love we share is like a zephyr
Freely flowing, peacefully knowing
The truth of innocence that's ours forever
Intermingling, warmly tingling.
Gentle wind, gentle wind
Soothing, healing, softly feeling
Awakening to what has always been
Feel again the gentle wind that flows.
Gentle wind
Gentle wind
Gentle wind....
We are the wind
The gentle wind
We are the wind
The gentle wind, the gentle wind.....

Shining In Me Now leo genereux 25dec2015
The world I blamed for all my suffering
Was but a mad projection of my self loathing
But now, as I look within
I see just innocence
Suddenly the world is also free of sin.
The hell I called my life was fantasy;
A wish to punish my self identity
But what I really am
Is beyond reprimand,
And nothing in a dream could ever be condemned.
The peace of God is shining in me now.
Let all things shine upon me in that peace.
And let me bless them with the light in me.
That peace of God that's shining in me now.
My judgments, I admit, have all been wrong
By illusions I've been blinded for so long
Now I look upon my brothers
With eyes that finally see.
Everyone is just the same as me.
With a quiet mind I leave the past behind
The fear that was my master disappears with time
No longer shackled by the ego's binding lies
The light that shines in me is bright again.
The peace of God is shining in me now.
Let all things shine upon me in that peace.
And let me bless them with the light in me.
That peace of God that's shining in me now
That peace of God that's shining in me now.
Shining in me now, shining in me now
Shining in me now, shining in me now
Shining in me now, shining in me now
Shining in me now, shining in me now.

The Final Frontier leo genereux 05May2017
The final frontier is reality's witness,
Ending the dream of despairing unholiness.
Fearing to lose this thing we call 'me'
We busily fended off all threats of peace.
Guilt blotted out the dangerous light
That would challenge our dream of night.
The final frontier blows out our windows,
Bolting the door won't help anymore.
The long reign of fear has now reached its ending,
The message it's sending is yours.
How real was the dream; the pain and the pleasure,
The trash and the treasures piled to the sky.
Irregardless of science or religious defiance
It all matters not anymore.
I can awake to the cause of my aching
By finally mending my heart I was breaking.
Fear was the flavor, pain was the savior
For the weak, the mad, the desperately sad.
But love, being truth, replaces illusion,
Here in the final frontier.
The final frontier, beyond all appearances
Borderland where all kindness abides
Where all self condemners, accepting their innocence,
Are no longer needing to hide.
The cruel, angry world fades into nothingness
Erasing the dream where doom was the theme
Danger dissolves as angels are singing
Here in the final frontier.
The final frontier is the choice for forgiveness
The choice for forgiveness, the final frontier
With our willingness the outcome is certain
Nothing but love exists here.
When we empty our minds of all that enslaves us;
The damning beliefs, the judgments, the fear
In that instant we find our escape from the mad world
We're inside the final frontier,
Safe in the final frontier.
Here in the final frontier
Here in the final frontier
Safe in the final frontier
Here in the final frontier
Mind is the final frontier.

The Light Has Come leo genereux Easter 2015
The light has come and freed me from
The sleep of fallen dreams
Nightmares I made, they start to fade
All is not as it seemed.
I thought that I might like to try to live a life alone
This mad idea brought pain and fear
Forgetting I was home.
The light has come
The light has come
Darkness disappears
For the light has come
The light has come
The light has come
Gone are all my fears
For the light has come
A gentle Voice guiding my choice, whispering what to do
Tells me of eternal Love
And only Love is true.
I look within and see no sin, all my brothers are the same
As forgiveness grows, illusions go
Only certainty remains.
The light has come
The light has come
Darkness disappears
For the light has come
The light has come
The light has come
Gone are all my fears
For the light has come.
The light has come and freed me from
My dark imaginings
As I awake from my mistake
The Son has been redeemed.
The light has come
The light has come
Darkness disappears
for the light has come
The light has come
The light has come
Gone are all my fears
For the light has come.
The Light has come. (2X)

La-la-la-la-la......
The hidden dread of tomorrow
Devoured all my todays
Has been replaced by a miracle
Ending all my malaise.
Heaven's never felt so near
Depression simply disappears
Prisoner no longer to my fears;
All of this and more.
The past that haunted me is gone
The future's glowing like the dawn
The present sings a joyous song;
All of this and more.
All of this, all of this,
A miracle is all of this and more.

Released from sadness, pain and death,
By one choice to forsake my need for misery,
I place the future in Love's hands
And the wings of faith lift me grandly
High above the world I see.
High......high.
With nothing special to defend
My world of conflict finally ends
All mistakes have been forgiven;
All of this and more.
Life is shining like a diamond
Every mind is joined as one
Belief in sin has been undone.
All of this and more.
All of this, all of this,
A miracle is all of this and more.

Heaven's One Song leo genereux 13May2016
Imprisoned the jailer, as is the jailed
Guilty the accuser, as is the accused
Victim, the attacker, as is the attacked
Defiled the abuser, as is the abused.
I imprison peace by choosing to battle
My hunger for conflict drives me to war
Dreadfully clamoring heavy chains rattle,
never once asking what are they for.
Belief in sin smolders like a burning corpse
Sacrificial altars to the gods that I choose
When truth is abandoned then fear substitutes
A funeral procession for the Life I refused.
I can no more be bound to this world I'm conceiving
Where dream bodies suffer, and dream bodies die.
This tragic idea is devoid of all meaning;
Life forever lasting no longer can be denied.
Insane is this game of wars and duality
Inane to believe my ego's sick schemes
We are all one, joined for eternity
Heroes and villains exists but in dreams.
But an imposter believes in deception
Claiming suspicions are well justified
The condemner is blinded by his condemnation
Choosing forgiveness would unveil his eyes.
Mad was the idea that formed the illusion
That oneness could clash and suffer awhile.
Truth is untouched by imagination,
We're at home in Heaven, but dreaming of exile.
Belief in sin smolders like a burning corpse
Sacrificial altars to the gods that I choose
When truth is abandoned then fear substitutes
A funeral procession for the Life I refused.
We can no more be bound to this world we're conceiving
Where dream bodies suffer, and dream bodies die
This tragic idea is devoid of all meaning;
Life forever lasting no longer can be denied.
Together we can, our nightmares dispel
Awakening from, our dream of hell
Sharing one voice, we sing loud and strong
We are the singer of Heaven's one song. (2x)
Sing, sing, sing along,
We are the singer of Heaven's one song (2x)
Sing, sing along
We are the singers of Heaven's one song. (2x)

Okay leo genereux 09/10/2019
Up until today my world was gloomy
Smiling was seldom justified
But then a miracle came through me
My gloominess just vaporized.
Replaced by something
Soaring high above
The miracle of love.
Yes...the certainty of love
Yes...love's certainty.
Okay, okay, everything's okay
Okay, okay, everything's okay
Glorious sun is smiling at me
Welcoming trees are waving with their leaves
Skipping along
Whistling a song
Everything's okay.
The hills are laughing as I pass by
They feel my happiness happening inside,
Yes...the certainty of love
Yes...love's certainty.
Okay, okay, everything's okay
Okay, okay, everything's okay
Passionflower whispers sweetly
A bird is singing her favorite song to me
For the first time
My spirit chimes
Everything's okay.
Feeling the love that dwells within me
Allows me to taste what life can really be.
Yes...the certainty of love
Yes...love's certainty.
Oh, everything's okay
Oh, okay.
Oh, everything's okay
Oh, okay.
Oh, everything's okay.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay...
