The Creation Song

 Creation Song (Matthew Bellas)
Spoken:
Consider, the truth lies within you
Consider, the love that abounds
Consider the source that says ego
Is the best way to ease God out

Glory and praise to the Father … who knows
And to the Son … who is
And through the Bliss of the Spirit
The Source of all within

Wide as the ocean
And as deep as the sea
As countless are the grains of sand
How great His love for me

Higher than the mountains
Richer than the forest greens
Like the river rushes to the sea
His love flows into me

And so I sing of this beauty
Of the gifts He shares with me
I’m singing for his faithfulness
His Truth and Majesty
And so I sing to the heavens
And the wonders that It brings
And I’m singing for this love
Surrounding me.

Vast as the heavens
Further than my mind can see
With galaxies of boundless stars
He sheds his light on me

Sure as the sun will rise
And rain fall from the sky
Though each day seems to have an end
He knows no space or time

And so I sing of this beauty
Of the gifts He shares with me
I’m singing for his faithfulness
His Truth and Majesty
And so I sing to the heavens
And the wonders that it brings
And I’m singing for this love
That lives with me

Like the finest gold Perfected in the fire
The Masters face reflected clear to see
He’s the master craftsman with his breath this world He weaves
In perfection in His image He made me.

Music Break

And as I close my eyes
In silent stillness be
Love’s the source of all there is
It is the universal seed.

And so I sing of this beauty
Of the gifts He shares with me
I’m singing for his faithfulness
His Truth His Majesty
And so I sing to the heavens
And the wonders that it brings
And I’m singing for this love
That lives in me
His love is me…

I Built A Wall

 I Built A Wall
Matthew Bellas

I built a wall of sadness and I built a wall of doubt
I built a wall to keep me in and one to keep you out
No pain would ever touch me no joy to call my own
I built myself a prison without use of wood or stone

And when I look into the mirror and I don’t like what I see
Tell me what is going on, Lord what’s happening to me

I had a fear of people and a fear of taking blame
A fear of trying something new, the same path was the game
I had a fear of failure and one deeper of success
You always told me I was good I somehow felt like something less

And when I look into the mirror and I don’t like what I see
Tell me what is going wrong, Lord what’s happening to me

I knew I couldn’t help myself but I did so every time
Each chance the wrong thing came along I was always first in line
I thought it might be different now although that would be strange
I tried to do the same old thing and hoped the truth would change

Then I met a man who helped me, he said to walk his way
I didn’t have to be alone, he said friend I’ll take you there

So I decided to follow his way and I learned that to keep what I gained
I had to give it away
The secret to keep what I learned I had to give it away

Spoken:
I have taken many different roads in my lifetime
And the only thing I need to remember about my past
Is that it got me here
We all take different paths through life
And here and now is where we can help each other
Then we must take what we learned and pass it on
Share it
Extend an open hand
Freely give to others that which was so freely given to us




Where Would I Have Met You

Where Would I Have Met You
Matthew Bellas

My life had no direction and I had no place to go
I wandered through life hopeless, had no prospects had no goals
I didn’t even see you I was lost in my despair
But, where would I have met you if I didn’t meet you here
I didn’t even know that I had met you that first time
Til many times since I’ve come back to this place I now call mine
Something you said intrigued me a certain knowing in your smile
But where would I have met you if I didn’t meet you here

I had a brick wall future, no light no tunnel in sight
The tomorrow there before me a wall un moved by my lonely, helpless plight

Now that I have found you at the low point of my life
I’m so glad cause you’re important to the fabric of my life
I wouldn’t change the circumstance that brought me here to you
Oh where would I have met you if I didn’t meet you here

I’ll have a bright tomorrow if I would follow in your steps…and
All the things that you taught me and all those wonderful promises were kept

I have grown and I have changed in oh so many ways
But I must watch and can’t forget the things that I once craved
The things I did to others now forgive cause of you
Oh where would I have met you if I didn’t meet you here

Now I must go and seek to help the person next in need
For where would I have been if your hand didn’t reach for me
You promised you would love me til I could love myself
Do you think I would have met you
I’m not sure I would I have met you
Oh where would I have met you if I didn’t meet you here

I Will Say Yes

 I Will Say Yes
Matthew Bellas

As I give myself to you each and every day
I know that you will be with me each step of the way
The trust we share between us and the faith that you are mine
This gives me the strength within to say

I will say yes … I will say yes to you
I give my love to you … and all I want is you
I will say yes … I will say yes to you
I give my life to you … my world is filled with you
I will say yes

As I wonder to myself … can this love be true
Each morning as I wake up loving you
And knowing that you’ve chosen me …. To love with all my heart
I want you here with me . never to part

I will say yes … I will say yes to you
I give my life to you … and all I need is you
I will say yes … I will say yes to you
Your touch it guides me through… your light reveals what’s true
I will say yes

As I search within myself…for love and what’s my part
I’ve learned to give…just as you have taught
I’ve come to know and love myself…and within me I found you
The love, the strength I’ve always sought was you
I will say yes…

Music break

I will say yes… I will yes to you
I give my love to you …and all I want is you
I will say yes…I will say yes to you
And when this world is through…I will be there with you
I will say yes
I will say yes
For when this world is through…I will be there with you
I will say yes
I will say yes (whisper)
