ACIMJIVE Lyrics

Holy World   leo genereux   08Sept2015

Where darkness was I look upon the light,

I look upon the light.

My weary eyes are opening at last,

Opening at last.

A holy world awaits us,

When sight's finally restored

Gone is all our misery,

And suffering is no more,

No more, no more.

The light is here for us to look upon,

For us to look upon.

Vision rights darkness into light,

Darkness into light.

All fear must disappear

When fearless love has come

As we forgive our blinding ideas

All brothers become one

Become one.

It's a holy world, holy world

Behind the ego dance it's a holy world

Holy world, holy world

Behind the 'evil' trance it's a holy world

World.

The darkness was our own imaginings

Our own imaginings

There's a song of light,

For all of us to sing, all of us to sing.

A holy world awaits us,

When sight's finally restored

The age of war has passed away

And nightmares are no more

No more, no more.

It's a holy world, holy world

Behind the ego dance it's a holy world

Holy world, holy world

Behind the 'evil' trance it's a holy world

World.

Holy, holy, holy, holy,

Holy World.

This Way    leo genereux    27Dec2015

The journey without distance into the timeless now

Begins the instant I admit I really don't know how

How to know what love is like beyond the clouds of fear

Beyond the game of hungry names that I hold so dear.

Through the veils that seem like walls that hold me slave to time

Far beyond my desperate dance; the sad 'life' I call mine

Beyond the self I think I am by pain and sorrow torn

I'm waking up to realize I've been dreaming all along.

Certainty is not found in a world of change

Wisdom lies beyond our feeble range.

This way, brother this way

Lay your heavy burden down, and follow this way

This way, brother this way

Freedom here is found

Right here today.

Loneliness that seemed so real, simply is no more

That gentle Voice guides me to the place beyond all war

To the stillness and the peace of my changeless being

Where all my brothers are joined with me

In a whole new way of seeing.

The journey without distance where all my troubles fade

Begins the instant I'm aware I never really strayed

I can feel what love is like beyond the clench of fear

Beyond the game of hungry names that I held so dear.

Happiness is not found on a battleground

A gentle Voice whispers without sound:

This way, brother this way

Take off that thorny crown, and follow this painless way

This way, brother this way

Needless to mess around

It's right here today.

This way, brother this way

Liberation waits your OK. no need to delay.

This way, this gentle, loving way

Just cancel your crucifixion,

And follow this way.

This way. This way.-

Love Alone   leo genereux   27Mar16

Insane it is to give thanks

That someone would suffer more than I

Equally insane to refrain from thanking

The limitless Love that heals all pain

I offer thanks not because

My brother is more a slave than I

For it will never be that some are free

While others still are bound.

Due to Love alone is my gratitude

For it makes all cause of sadness disappear

Love alone.

Love alone is my attitude

For it makes all cause of madness disappear, Love alone.

Love alone love alone letting go all my sorrows

Because of love alone

Love alone love alone lighting up my tomorrows.

Love alone

My thanks makes room for all

That will escape with me;

The sick, the weak, the needy

The lost and greedy, all will escape.

My thanks makes room for all

That will escape with me

Those who suffer cold and hunger

The haters and warmongers all the refugees.

Due to love alone is my gratitude

For it makes all cause of conflict disappear

Love alone

Love alone is my attitude

For it makes all cause of heartbreak disappear

Love alone.

Love Alone love alone all conflict disappear

Because of love alone

Love Alone love alone all heartbreak disappear

Due to love alone.

I thank the One for the truth of the Son

From no living thing am I apart

I thank the One because our wholeness

Is the completion of every heart.

No exceptions can there be

For exclusion would unity destroy

And nothing can assail the Love that was given

To all of us in joy.

Love Alone love alone all conflict disappear

Because of love alone

Love Alone love alone all heartbreak disappear

Due to love alone.

Love, love alone, love, love alone, love alone, love alone

Pain and sorrow disappear because of love alone.

Much Mistaken   leo genereux   25/Dec/16

The Son of God is all of us

All of us are God's Son

We are what holiness is

Unchanging eternal Love.

The evil world that we see

We dreamed up to conceal

Our wish to be unwholly

Sons of the unreal.

Much mistaken. much mistaken

Son of God you have not sinned

But you have been mistaken.

Much mistaken.

Much mistaken.

The unreal cannot be

For truth cannot be changed

An ocean of madness

Does not make madness sane.

Fear is what we choose

When love is what we fear

Our choice to be lonely

Keeps love from coming near.

Much mistaken. much mistaken

Son of God you have not sinned

But you have been mistaken.

Much mistaken.

Much mistaken.

Guilt make dreams seem real

So guilt we gladly bear

Wearing the guilt that we feel

To prove that we are here.

But Love's touch awaits our choice to wake

From nightmares that we chose to make

Belief in sin could never mar

The truth of who we are.

Much mistaken. much mistaken

Son of God you have not sinned

But you have been mistaken.

Much mistaken. much mistaken

Son of God you have not sinned

But you have been mistaken. (2X)

Much mistaken.

Much mistaken.

Received   leo genereux   11Jan2017

 

I am responsible for what I see.
I chose the feelings I experience,

And I decided on

The goal I would achieve.
And everything that seems to happen to me
I asked for.

And received, received,

And received as I had asked.

I am responsible for what I see.
I chose the feelings I experience,

And I decided on

the goal I would achieve.
And everything that seems to happen to me
I asked for.

And received, received,

And received as I had asked.

I am responsible for what I see.
I chose the feelings I experience,

and I decided on

The goal I would achieve
And everything that seems to happen to me
I asked for.

And received, received

And received as I had asked.

And received, received

And received as I had asked.

I am responsible.

Spinner   leo genereux   24Aug2017

When I catch myself judging again
I remember it's time for the spinner
A smile inside, a smooth, easy glide
Above the war zone that I'm in.

He shows me this war that I'm itchin' for
Is really a dead duck design
Picking a fight to prove that I'm right
Is a dropkick waste of time.

The motive behind all my battle lines
The spinner makes me well aware
I'm brutal because I'm eager to find
A target for my hidden fears.

But who is the self that's so fearful?
And who is the judge of this self?
Both are one, one and the same,
A little guy calling for help.

That's when  I feel the healing breeze,
And let the spin begin.

Spinner, come on,  spin again
Put another spin on my self negations
Spinner, spin me again
Put another spin on me.

Spinner, come on, spin again
Put another spin on my incantations
Spinner, spin me again
Put another spin on me.

The spinner waits deep, deep  within
Just beyond my nightmare of cares
Every trial I seem to find myself in
With a little spin they all disappear.

This mad little self that's condemning
all with such intensity
Can be replaced by the self that sees
A world that's conflict free.

That's when I feel the healing breeze,
The easiness of  Your  spin.


Spinner, come on, spin again
Spin me free of my aggravations
Spinner, spin me again
Put another spin on me.

Spinner, come on spin again
Spin me free of my mad fixations
Spinner, spin me again
Put a peaceful spin on me. 

Spinner,  spinner, spinner
Put another spin on me
Spinner,  spinner, spinner

Put another spin on me.


Put another spin on me 

Put another spin on me.

Life Is   leo genereux   25Sept2015

I saw a light in a vision

Last night within my dungeon walls

Eternal brightness of Life spoke to me

I'm not abandoned after all.

The dream of dark dungeons is over

The lonely pain need not go on

Forgiven are all my illusions

Confusion, guilt and fear are gone

Gone, gone, gone.

Life is laughing

Life is joy

Life forgives the silly boy

For forgetting what Life Is.

Life is living

Life is sweet

So light it lifts me off my feet

That's what Life is.

Life is loving

Life is yes

Life is letting everyone

Share in Its happiness.

Life is certain

Life is bliss

Life is freeing every being

Of his separateness. La-la-la-la-la-la-la........

I saw a light in a vision

Last night within my dungeon walls

Eternal brightness of Life spoke to me

I'm not abandoned after all.

The dream of dark dungeons is over

The lonely pain need not go on

Forgiven are all my illusions

Confusion, guilt and fear are gone

Gone, gone, gone.

Life is caring

Life is kind

Life is healing the worried mind

Of what it thinks life is.

Life is forever,

Life is the light

Life's eternal brightness

Ends the dungeon dream of night.

Life is formless

Life is free

The spirit of Life is

The one and only true reality.

Life is laughing

Life is joy

Life forgives this silly boy

For forgetting what life is.

La-la-la-la-la-la-la........

Life Is, Life Is.

Life Is, Life Is.

Life!

The Safety Net Blues   leo genereux   18Jun2016

To keep my little self secure

I have a safety net

The substance of this net is fear

For beyond is certain death.

 

The body I believe I am

Is my protection from

Falling through the safety net

Into the only One.

 

With sadness as an ally

And grievance as a friend

With hidden hates and secret sins

My little self defends.

Safety net

Not what it seems to be

Safety net

Safe in my fake reality

Safety net.

 

Safety net

Safety net.

My net is made of judgments

Kept taut with constant strain

Overlaid with anger

And reinforced with pain.

 

But I'm learning that my safety net

Is but a spider's web

And I am just a hopeless fly

Entangled in my dread.

 

And every time I try to move

The more stuck I become

Pasted to the muck

That I could be a special one.

 

Safety net

Not what it seems to be

Safety net

Keeps me 'sane' in my insanity

Safety net.

 

Safety net

Safety net.

The game of self-deception

Is this fearful dream of death

The suffocating victim

Of my own safety net.

Within this net is conflict

Without the net is peace

Fear is but my bondage

And love is my release.

 

Safety lies beyond believing

In my damning lies

For Truth denies the 'truth'

Of my nightmare of demise.

 

Safety net

Not what it seems to be

Safety net

Keeps me safe in my misery

Safety net. (4X)

This Instant Is The Only Time   leo genereux   13Aug15

Yesterday's clouds fill my mind

Leaving no room for this instant

Blindsided by my belief in time

The logic of time seems consistent;

The past is the scene of the sin

That's why I feel guilty today

And sure enough because of my misbehaving

The future is where I will pay. But,

This instant is the only time there is

This instant is the only time

The only time there is

This instant is the only time there is

This instant is the only time

The only time there is.

The rules of time rely on fear

Drowning each ripple of joy

The only break I get from my guilty aches

Is when anger and blame are my toys.

And so goes my life day to day;

A sad race to that finish line.

Aging and illness are rattling my cage

Imagining I'm trapped in time. But,

This instant is the only time there is

This instant is the only time

The only time there is

This instant is the only time there is

This instant is the only time

The only time there is.

A gentle Guide within my mind

Returns me to where time began

To get liberation from this mad fixation

By remembering who I really Am.

Now is the only time there is

And it is now that I am redeemed

My only real need is self forgiveness

For making up such awful dreams.

This instant is the only time there is

This instant is the only time

The only time there is

This instant is the only time there is

This instant is the only time

The only time there is. (2X)

Where Nothing Goes   leo genereux   16May2017

An idea sprang, as ideas do, from the Father's Son

A crazy thought that would not go away;

How would it be to go beyond where nothing goes

To explore the void where only nothing strays?

What could lie beyond the gates where nothing lies beyond?

Curiosity impelled the Son

And because his will is free, he chose insanity

And he seemed to leave the shared Kingdom of One.

And He went falling, falling into deep sleep

Dreaming what could never be

Falling, falling into deep sleep

Dreaming that He changed reality.

Falling into restless sleep, the Son became the sons

Time and space replaced eternity

They found themselves on fire, burning with desire

To each be king of everything they see.

For they have fallen, fallen into deep sleep

Dreaming what could never be

Fallen, fallen into deep sleep

Dreaming that they changed reality.

To rid the hurting in their hearts they all feel a need

But as one ache recedes another bleeds

Every pleasure brings them pain in this world of guilt and blame

There's no escape from their unholy creed.

And they are rolling, rolling in a deep sleep

Tossing and turning in a bed of misery

Rolling, rolling in a deep sleep

Dreaming up a world of vanity.

Believing in our fantasy is keeping us asleep

Tired and worn we struggle and we strain

But without our dream of fear, Love is still the same

Paradise is where we still remain.

But still we're trolling, trolling in a deep sleep

Tossing and turning in our travesty

Trolling, trolling in a deep sleep

Dreaming up a world that could not be.

My wish to give up everything was my one mistake

Everything is all I ever need

So now I choose again, I'm calling on my Friend

To help me wake up from my nothing dream.

 

And so I'm calling, calling from my deep sleep

No longer longing for the dream I chose

Calling, calling from my deep sleep

To awaken from the dream where nothing goes.

And so we're calling, calling from my deep sleep

No longer longing for the dream we chose

Calling, calling from our deep sleep

To awaken from the dream where nothing goes.

Awaken from the dream where nothing goes. (2X)

Here We Are    leo genereux   29June1982

Here we are again my friend

Left all our stuff behind us

Singing as we roll along

A love song to remind us.

We pay no mind to yesterday

Tomorrow will come and find us

Today's the only place to be

Our home is where we are.

Here we are my friend

Here we are

Here we are again

It's all been said before.

Here we are my friend

Here we are

Here we are again.

There's no need to say more.

In the busy noise and hurry

We sometimes lose our way

But there's a quiet place inside,

Where we can always stay

We feel the gentle summer breeze

We see the eagle soar

We hear the laughter of the trees

We touch forevermore.

Here we are my friend

Here we are

Here we are again

It's all been said before.

Here we are my friend

Here we are

Here we are again

There's no need to say more.

It doesn't matter where we are

In any kind of weather

We share our love with everyone

We're all in it together.

So here we are again my friend

Left all our stuff behind us

Singing as we roll along

Here we are again

Singing as we roll along

Here we are again.   (etcetera)
