I Am Holding You
Words by Susan Mack
Music by Susan Mack, Carey Loomis
Edited/Arranged by The Solo Committee
Verse 1
Is there a God, a mind besides Me?
There’s no other god, none else to see!
I am the first, and I am the last.
I command and creation, creation, stands fast!
Chorus:
I am holding you, I am knowing you.
I am minding you, and causing you.
I am blessing you, and cherishing you,
My own image, expression, reflection so true.
Verse 2
I am in control of all I create.
My works are true. My thoughts are great.
And you are embraced in such infinite care,
No thought goes astray, no moment of fear.
Chorus
Verse 3
My power and strength are a law to each day.
I’m guiding and guarding each step of the way.
No accident, chance, untoward event
Can ever disturb My all good intent.
Chorus
Bridge
I take unto me my great power and I reign.
I govern creation without stress or strain.
I delight in the glory of all that I am—
And you are the joy I’m reflecting as man.

New Jerusalem
Words and music by Susan Mack
Edited/Arranged by The Solo Committee
Verse 1
I, John, saw the holy city of God
Coming down from God out of heaven,
Prepared as a beautiful bride to be wed—
Wed to her new husband.
Chorus:
Behold, I make all things new.
Behold, for it is ever true,
This city of God that is built in your hearts,
New Jerusalem as Mind imparts.
Verse 2
This consciousness had the glory of God,
Radiant as a precious jasper stone,
Clear as crystal and reflecting God’s power
Upon Mind’s omnipotent throne.
Chorus
Bridge
It lieth foursquare and hath no need of moon or sun
For the glory of God and the Lamb doth it enlighten.
Verse 3
And the nations shall walk, yes they all shall walk,
In the light of this glorious truth.
And the kings of the earth and all the people it taught
Hath it honor and glory brought.

Lord, you’ve been our dwelling place for all generations.
Before the mountains existed or the earth had taken form,
From everlasting you are God.
We abide in the beauty of the Lord.

Sing unto the Lord all the earth.
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
My soul shall be joyful in the Lord.

Almighty God you’re like the dawning sun.
From Zion’s perfect beauty You shine.
And every detail of the universe
Reflects the glory that is Thine.

I Will Pour Out My Spirit
Words and music by Susan Mack

Now when the day of Pentecost was come
They were all with one accord in one place.
And each one was filled with the Holy Ghost
And began to speak in tongues.

I will pour out My Spirit
Upon all flesh.
I am the Spirit, the Spirit that quickens,
The Holy Ghost overcoming sin and death.
Verse 2
It was the Spirit that made them speak,
As was prophesied by Joel,
“It will come to pass in the last day,” saith God
“I will pour out my Spirit on them all.”
Chorus
Verse 3
Then said Peter unto them,
“Repent and be baptized every one,
And you shall receive the gift of the Spirit
For with Christ there is no condemnation.”

Verse words by James J. Rome
Edited/Arranged by The Solo Committee
Hymn Verse 1
Give me, O Lord, an understanding heart,
That I may learn to know myself in Thee,
To spurn the wrong and choose the better part
And thus from sinful bondage be set free.
Verse 1
I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord,
That he would grant me, according to his riches,
To be strengthened by his Spirit
In the inner man, The Kingdom within.
Hymn Verse 2
Give me, O Lord, a meek and contrite heart,
That I may learn to quell all selfish pride,
Bowing before Thee, see Thee as Thou art
And ‘neath Thy sheltering presence safely hide.
Verse 2
That Christ may dwell in my heart by faith;
That I be rooted and grounded in love.
That I comprehend with the saints
The breadth and length, the depth and height.
Hymn Verse 3
Give me, O Lord, a gentle loving heart,
That I may learn to be more tender, kind,
And with Thy healing touch, each wound and smart
With Christly bands of Love and Truth to bind.
Verse 3
And may I know the love of Christ
Which passeth knowledge.
May I be filled with all the fullness,
The fullness of God.
Give me, O Lord, give me an understanding heart.

When my heart is lost in sorrow,
No prayer comes to my lips.

And comfort it will bring.

Discouragement sinks in,
There’s a hopeful prayer I can always pray,
Simply praising Him.

When my days are much too busy
To find where prayer fits in,
There’s a timeless prayer I can always pray,
Simply praising Him.
Chorus
And stillness it will bring.
Verse 4
When earth seems satisfying,
My joys filled to the brim,
There’s still a prayer I need to pray,
Simply praising Him
Chorus
And goodness it will bring.
For that’s what we are made to do,
Let all the earth now sing!

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear
Words and music by Susan Mack
Edited/Arranged by The Solo Committee
Verse 1
Sometimes our hearts cry in despair,
The way is blocked at every turn,
Then, childlike, we turn to Mind,
From whom alone we learn.
Chorus
God hath not given us the spirit of fear
But of power and of love and a sound mind,
For perfect Love, casts out fear—
This All-in-all of perfect care.
Verse 2
We can’t fight it out in this world that we see,
Where terror is all around.
But safe in Mind we find our peace,
Our health, our hope, our home.
Chorus
Bridge
All-knowing Mind, the great I AM,
We pray for humility,
To yield all anxious cares of earth
To your tranquility.

When the needy seek water and there is none,
When their tongue fails for thirst, I will hear them.
I make the wilderness flowing springs.
I am Love, I am Life, so I do these things.

You are with Me, with Me, as reflection of light.
You are with Me, with Me, as expression of Life.
For with Me, with Me, is the fountain of Life.
For with Me, with Me, in my light shall you see light.
Verse 2
For as the rain comes down from heaven,
It waters earth and it blossoms as I have given.
So shall my word be that goeth forth from my mouth,
It’s not in vain, but bears fruit I send forth.
Chorus
Verse 3
My love is excellent, trust in Me.
You are tucked up under the shadow of My wing.
You are abundantly satisfied with My thought
And you drink of the river of My pleasures, unsought.

And there appeared another wonder in heaven;
A great red dragon who had seven heads,
And ten horns upon his heads, and seven crowns,
But that old serpent, Satan, was cast out.

For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth,
He shall reign forever more.

“Now is come salvation and strength,
And the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ;
The accuser of our brethren is cast down.”

He was cast out and his angels with him,
Neither was his place found at all in heaven.
Therefore, rejoice and all praise His name.
The kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord.

The Lord’s Prayer
Spiritual Interpretation (italics) by Mary Baker Eddy
Music by Susan Mack
Edited/Arranged by The Solo Committee
Our Father which art in heaven,
Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Adorable One. Adorable One.
Thy kingdom, Thy kingdom come,
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Enable us to know,—as in heaven, so on earth,—God is omnipotent, supreme.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Give us grace for to-day; feed the famished affections;
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And Love is reflected in love;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
And God leadeth us not into temptation, but delivers us from sin, disease, and death.
For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever.
For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth and Love, over all, and All.

I will say to the north, ‘Give up!’
And to the south, ‘Keep not back!’
Bring my sons from afar,
And my daughters from the ends of the earth.
Verse 3
I am the Lord your holy one,
The Lord of everything,
The creator of Israel,
I am your King.
Bridge
