Lead Me To The Light
(Alice Olsen)
Waiting and praying, here in the shadows,
Searching for guidance to show me the way.
Fear and frustration, helpless and hopeless
All through the night into day.
Wondering if my prayers will ever be answered.
When will the light come and shine down on me?
Deep in my heart is a place oh so tender.
Longing to be set free
Lead me to the light.
Show me to the path I need to walk.
Guide my spirit on the road to grace.
Lead me to the light.
Lead me to the light.
Heal my broken heat and make me whole.
Teach me how to find my way back home.
Lead me to the light.
Lonely and empty, no one to hold me.
Grieving for comfort and longing for love.
When will my turn come, when is my moment,
To join with the light from above?
Lead me to the light.
Show me to the path I need to walk.
Guide my spirit on the road to grace.
Lead me to the light.
Lead me to the light.
Heal my broken heat and make me whole.
Teach me how to find my way back home.
Lead me to the light.
See me! Choose me!
Help me ! Comfort me!
Care for me! Love me!
Bring me to the light!
Lead me to the light.
Show me to the path I need to walk.
Guide my spirit on the road to grace.
Lead me to the light.
Lead me to the light.
Heal my broken heat and make me whole.
Teach me how to find my way back home.
Lead me to the light.

Momma Said
(Alice Olsen)
Momma said, "You know it doesn't matter what you do,
All that's important is just to be you.
You're so special inside. Just let it shine through"
Daddy said, "I love you. You're my beautiful girl.
You're the best thing for me in this whole wide world.
You're so special inside. You know that it's true."
But it's so hard to let them in, these words of love I've waited for so long to hear
But it's so hard to let them in clouded by unworthiness, disbelief and fear
But they're what I long to hear.
Brother said, "I'm proud of you and want you to know
I couldn't have a sister that I'd ever love more.
You're so special inside. You know that it's true."
Lover looks into my eyes, into my soul
Tells me how my loving heart helps make him whole.
"You're the one I want, I'll always love you."
But it's so hard to let them in, these words of love I've waited for so long to hear
But it's so hard to let them in clouded by unworthiness, disbelief and fear
But they're what I long to hear
These words of love and beauty can pierce me to the soul
Exposing all my longing to be loved and to be whole
These words of love and beauty reveal my fear and pain
But if I let them deep inside they'll heal me once again.
"Listen now baby to the words I say,
All you have to do each and every day is to just be you You're special that way.
We each have a precious gift you know it's true.
All you have to do is to just be you You're a miracle Just let it shine through.
And now it's time to let them in, these words of love I've waited for so long to hear
My heart can open wide with joy and then I'll know it's true
That I'm special just like you.

Emissaries Of The Light
Alice Olsen
“Seek not peace here, but find it everywhere.”*
“Seek not peace here, but find it everywhere.”
“Seek not peace here, but find it everywhere.”
Seek not here, it’s everywhere.
12 are the spokes of the wheel.
12 and one more hold the light from above,
Keeping the trust ‘til humanity awakes
And a new world is born out of love.
13 the souls filled with peace,
Found amid terrible violence and war.
One holds the truth in the focus of 12 lights
To send love to the world from it’s core.
We are all Emissaries of the Light,
Each with a holy purpose to share.
Fear is all that keeps us from unbounded love.
Truth and surrender will lead us there.
We are all Emissaries of the Light,
At our own place on the eternal wheel.
Now it’s time to wake the divine inside
To shine the light of love and rend illusion’s veil.
“Seek not peace here, but find it everywhere.”
“Seek not peace here, but find it everywhere.”
“Seek not peace here, but find it everywhere.”
Seek not here, it’s everywhere.
3 are the faces of truth;
Simplicity, patience, compassion are one,
Brought from the deep holy wisdom of the heart
With gratitude for all that’s done.
Straight is the path to the heart.
Emotion transformed becomes energy bright.
Releasing all judgement and fear we will find,
True peace and pure love in God’s sight.
Repeat chorus
“Seek not peace here, but find it everywhere.”
“Seek not peace here, but find it everywhere.”
“Seek not peace here, but find it everywhere.”
Seek not here, it’s everywhere.
Everywhere!

(Alice Olsen)
Namaste. I greet the light within you.
Namaste. The light of God within you,
Eternal light of love.
Illuminate, enlighten me.
Fill me with universal love.
As I greet you and you greet me,
We share divinity from above.
Namaste. I greet the light within you.
Namaste. The light of God within you,
Eternal light of love.
Blossoms unfolding with petals so bright,
So our hearts open to reveal our light.
Wheels upon wheels of energy flow,
Sent to the earth as our seeds of love grow.
Namaste. I greet the light within you.
Namaste. The light of God within you,
Eternal light of love.
Namaste.

Guardians of the land,
Caring for each living thing.
We hold their lives in our hands.

Then with grace our work is done.
Chorus:
Oh guide us Great Spirit.

Each Time That We Touch
(music by Bob Lawyer, lyrics by Alice Olsen)
Within the rhythm of my heart's beat,
I find the place where our souls meet,
Each time that we touch.
And in the image of my soul mate,
I see the mirror of my life's fate,
Loving you so much.
And when we're lying in the stillness of the night together,
And when you hold me and you tell me that your love's forever,
I feel the fullness of my soul's light,
Enfolded gently in the dark night,
Each time that we touch.
And as you whisper that you love me,
My longing spirit can be set free,
Loving you so much.
One love, one life, two hearts that join together,
Two souls, as one, combined in love forever.
My heart is opened so completely,
And filled with love for you so sweetly,
Each time that we touch.
I see the light of love in your eyes,
And know the miracle of love's prize,
Loving you so much.
And when we're lying in the stillness of the night together,
And when you hold me and you tell me that your love's forever,
I feel the rhythm of my heart beat....

Let It Shine
(Alice Olsen)
“You are so holy” he said.
I felt so ashamed.
If he knew who I really was,
He wouldn’t think the same.
“You are so holy” he said.
It gave me such a pain,
As if my heart would break in two,
And never heal again.
“You are so holy” he said.
And I began to cry,
For someone to see good in me,
I thought that I might die.
“You are so holy” he said.
You are and so am I.
We hold a scared light inside,
Now it’s time to let it shine.
Let it shine.
Let the light shine around you,
Let the light shine within you,
Let it shine with your heart.
Let it shine.
Let the light fill your spirit,
You and I are both so precious,
Filled with wonderful from the start.
“You are so holy” he said.
But I felt so small,
Like a lost abandoned child,
That no one wanted at all.
“You are so holy” he said.
Disbelief began to part,
And I felt such joy and wonder,
As I opened up my heart.
Let it shine.
Let the light shine around you,
Let the light shine within you,
Let it shine with your heart.
Let it shine.
Let the light fill your spirit,
You and I are both so precious,
Filled with wonderful from the start.
“You are so holy”.

Sacred Love
(Alice Olsen)
They met at a dance, just by chance,
Or maybe it was fate.
She’d just come to have some fun,
And he didn’t have a date.
But with just one look they knew this was,
The one they’d waited for.
Love opens every door.
Over 50 years of joy and tears,
They made a life as one.
With kids to raise and bills to pay,
Their work was never done.
But together they could find the strength,
To face the toughest road.
Love lightens every load.
Love is brave, it conquers fear,
Love grow stronger through the years,
Of caring, sharing, living life together.
Love is wise love is kind,
And it’s true that it can bind,
Two hearts as one in sacred love forever.
She held his hand and stroked his hair,
And told him of her love.
The living vow that they had made,
Was shinging from above.
And with a sigh he left this earth,
But never left her side.
Love can not be denied.
Love is brave, it conquers fear,
Love grow stronger through the years,
Of caring, sharing, living life together.
Love is wise love is kind,
And it’s true that it can bind,
Two hearts as one in sacred love forever.
Two hearts as one in sacred, sacred love.

The Blink Of An Eye
(Elizabeth Peach lyric, Alice Olsen music)
Reach out for your abundance,
It’s there at your command.
With gratitude and joy,
You hold it in your hand.
It’s your choice.
You can always choose to win.
With the blink of and eye, open up your sky,
And let the sun shine in.
With the blink of an eye.
It all starts with a thought.
Deep down within your mind.
However you perceive it,
That’s just what you will find,
And your soul.
You can heal it from within.
Filled with love and with light,
Everything comes right.
See your whole new life begin,
With the blink of an eye.
With the blink of an eye.

Spirit Warrior
(Alice Olsen)
Dreamer and seeker, I fly through the night,
Into the darkness in search of the light,
Spirit warrior! Spirit warrior!
Facing the demons of my inner fears,
Shinning the mirror of truth ever nearer,
Spirit warrior! Spirit warrior!
Tangled within the webs of shame,
Failure masquerades as fame.
Fear means bravery, pleasure, pain,
Separate but the same.
Ride on the wild winds of eternity.
Follow the path of my true destiny,
Spirit warrior! Spirit warrior!
Love is my armor and truth is my sword,
Dark turned to light is my true reward,
Spirit warrior! Spirit warrior!
Journey through the mists of night,
As my spirit guides take flight,
Searching for the souls delight,
Full of love and light.
Spiral on spiral as downward I spin,
Delving the darkness for light from within,
Spirit warrior! Spirit warrior!
Travel the road that was made for my soul.
Joined with the light I will truly be whole.
Spirit warrior! Spirit warrior!

Good-Bye
(Alice Olsen)
Good-bye, farewell,
I’ll see you when this life is over,
But until then please shine a light for me.
Good-bye, farewell,
I know that you’ll be waiting for me,
’Til I meet you on the other side.
.
It’s so hard to see that you’re leaving,
It’s so hard to let you go,
As I hold yo know and I tell you,
That I’ve always loved you so.
But the light that’s shining with in you,
Is growing oh so strong,
To release you , transform you,
So I know it won’t be long.
Good-bye, farewell,
I’ll see you when this life is over,
But until then please shine a light for me.
Good-bye, farewell,
I know that you’ll be waiting for me,
’Til I meet you on the other side.
As the tunnel opens before you,
May your steps be straight and strong,
With the light of love all around you,
Asking you to come along.
And then all the souls who have loved you,
Will be waiting at the end,
To embrace you, enfold you,
And bring you home again.
Good-bye, farewell,
I’ll see you when this life is over.
It seems so long,
To wait until my work is done.
Good-bye, farewell,
I know that you’ll be waiting for me,
’Til I meet you on the other side.
When I look to the stars I’ll see you,
Hear your whisper in the wind.
But you know that I’ll really miss you,
’Til I see you once again.
Good-bye, farewell,
I’ll see you when this life is over
But until then please shine a light for me
Good-bye, farewell
I know that you’ll be waiting for me,
’Til I meet you on the other side.
Good-bye, farewell, good-bye.
