Chorus
Omni, omni, omni, all
God has three omnis by which He is called.
Together they heal us of fear and of doubt,
For omni means all and it leaves nothing out.

God is omniscient, all science, all law.
“God’s law’s in 3 words, ‘I Am All.'”
The all-knowing Mind is mine and yours.
When God speaks it’s like a lion roars.
Chorus

God’s omnipotent, all power, all cause.
Love’s strength is here and acts as laws.
There’s no other will and no other force
When God acts it’s like a big strong horse.
Chorus
Verse 3
God’s omnipresent, God’s everywhereness,
God’s hereness, nearness and thereness;
There is no space that God doesn’t fill
And in His presence we all get still.

For I am what God knows Himself to be.
I can never leave God’s tender care.

And so I act just the way I should
For all of my thoughts are good and true

When I need to know what is right to do
I just turn to God and He guides me through.

So I’m always safe in His healing light

His law is His allness that keeps me free

Noah’s Story
Words and Music by Sue Loomis
Verse 1
Noah was a good man and he talked with God.
Noah loved his three sons who were tall and strong.
God told Noah “Take them in the ark with you;
Storms are coming it will rain too long,
It’s safe inside from all the storms.”
Verse 2
Noah started building and he told his sons
We need room for loved ones and their clothes and all their stuff.
Finally they finished and the ark was done –
It was huge, extra strong and tuff.
It’s safe inside from all the storms.
Verse 3
Animals were loaded and they came by twos.
Male and female every kind from dogs to doves,
Cows and sheep and camels and their beds and food and
Even brought the kitties and the bugs.
It’s safe inside from all the storms.
God is here yes!
God is here!
Listen! for His words to you.
God is here yes!
God is here!
Watch!
He’ll show his love for you.
Verse 4
Noah tucked them all in, they were safe inside.
Rain fell all around the ark but they stayed dry,
Patiently they waited while the flood got high,
Each one knowing with the Lord nearby
They were safe inside from all the storms.
Verse 5
Noah sent out things that fly like ravens, doves, and bees
They all saw the sky was clear with no more rain.
Dove brought back an olive leaf for all the ark to see
Noah knew that now the flood had drained
They were safe inside from all the storms.
Verse 6
They were all so happy they jumped out and prayed.
God spread out a rainbow in the sky so blue.
Noah knew the rainbow was a promise God had made.
God was saying “See My love for you?
I will keep you safe from all the storms.”
God is here yes!
God is here!
Listen! for his words to you.
God is here yes!
God is here!
Watch!
He’ll show his love for you.
Verse 7
If you are in trouble you can build an ark;
Build it out of love for all God gives to you.
Look beyond your trouble for the rainbow arch.
You will see the promise God has made. ”
“I will keep you safe from all the storms.”

The 5 W’s
Words and Music by Susan Mack
Arranged by The Solo Committee
Who am I? Soul is my identity.
I AM THAT I AM identifies me—
God’s self-awareness, the knowing of Mind,
The loving of Love that embraces mankind.
What am I? I’m the effect of one Cause.
Principle’s idea, I’m governed by laws
That are steady and constant like the sun’s shining rays.
God’s tender control holds me all through my days.
Where am I? I’m right where I should be
In the infinite One that has always held me.
Wherever I go Mother God is right there
So I’m always wrapped up in Her all-present care.
When am I? I’m now and always will be,
Since Life eternal has always known me.
When the morning stars sang and they shouted for joy,
I was there, too, in my Father’s employ.
Why am I? Love is the reason I am.
God needs me to be since I’m part of God’s plan.
I’m the singing of Soul, the delight of Love’s care,
And that’s why I am, yes, and who, what, when, where.

“Feed My Sheep”
Poem by Mary Baker Eddy
Music by Lyman Brackett
Arranged by The Solo Committee
Shepherd, show me how to go
O’er the hillside steep,
How to gather, how to sow, —
How to feed Thy sheep;
I will listen for Thy voice,
Lest my footsteps stray;
I will follow and rejoice
All the rugged way.
Thou wilt bind the stubborn will,
Wound the callous breast,
Make self-righteousness be still,
Break earth’s stupid rest.
Strangers on a barren shore,
Lab’ring long and lone,
We would enter by the door,
And Thou know’st Thine own;
So, when day grows dark and cold,
Tear or triumph harms,
Lead Thy lambkins to the fold,
Take them in Thine arms;
Feed the hungry, heal the heart,
Till the morning’s beam;
White as wool, ere they depart,
Shepherd, wash them clean.

Father-Mother good, lovingly
Thee I seek,–
Patient, meek,
In the way Thou hast, —
Be it slow or fast,
Up to Thee.
