Forgive Myself
©2000 Jami Lula
When I close my eyes and
I see the story board
Drawing out the shame of my life
What am I afraid of
Guilt I can’t let go of
Forgive myself when I
don’t want to
Forgive myself when I’m blamin you
Forgive myself when I think I can’t I can
Forgive myself when I tell a lie
Forgive myself when I wanna die
Forgive myself and become all that I am
Familiar with the comfort
of my pain
Feel a little better then I’m wallowing again
Is it any wonder I can’t let go of it
Forgive myself when I don’t want to
Forgive myself when I’m blamin you
Forgive myself when I think I can’t I can
Forgive myself when I tell a lie
Forgive myself when I wanna die
Forgive myself and become all that I am
Hell is a place
for souls who have not found compassion
For themselves
Hell is the pain
Forgetting that our life is an amazing grace
Forgive myself when I don’t want to
Forgive myself when I’m blamin you
Forgive myself when I think I can’t I can
Forgive myself when I tell a lie
Forgive myself when I wanna die
Forgive myself and become all that I am
I get the feelin that
I got to grow
LOVE keeps me runnin, to the me that GOD knows
I’m here to be, to uplift and unfold
Emancipating the Divine of my Soul
Ain't nothin holdin me
down
I let go of my story now I'm walkin in the arms of
Freedom Spirit never let
/ held me down before
Freedom take a walk inside
Freedom chains can't bind I changed my mind about
Freedom take a look inside
I'm movin on now no precedent
found
My revelation is, to Spirit I'm bound
The past has no power to paralyze me
I'm in the moment -Bless my History
Ain't nothin bringin me
down
Let go of my story Now I'm walkin in the arms of
FREEDOM Spirit never held
me down before
FREEDOM take a walk inside
FREEDOM chains can't bind my minds been changed about
FREEDOM take a look inside
What can I do that I’ll
reveal your Spirit
What can I be that I’ll reveal your Love
What can I say to cure and heal the hunger
What can I pray to be you Joy today
Brown eyes like brandy,
olive skin dark chocolate mane
She's not vain
Smiles every morning
wake up and drink black coffee in bed
And she said, she said
Go out and get em
Don't quit till you're finished
Keep goin against the voice in your head
You'll make a difference, at least to yourself
An example to the broken hearted
Bum bwah do do bweh oh
Bum bwah do do bweh oh, bweh oh (2x)
Caught in a quagmire
past politics lust love she re-read
Cause she's been
I won't stay lonely
I won't stay in one place for too long
Move ahead, move ahead
Go out and get em
Don't quit till you're finished
Keep goin against the voice in your head
You'll make a difference, at least to yourself
An example to the broken hearted
Bum bwah do do bweh oh
Bum bwah do do bweh oh, bweh oh (2x)

I Won’t Waste
One More Minute of My Life
©2001 Jami Lula (ASCAP)
I won’t waste I
won’t waste I won’t waste I won’t waste
I won’t waste one more minute of my life (2x)
Every moment, every step
I take
Every heart beat, with every breath I breath I’m grateful
It’s sacred, so beautiful.
I feel your precious presence as my life
I won’t waste I
won’t waste I won’t waste I won’t waste
I won’t waste one more minute of my life (2x)
Every conversation is
an opportunity
to see the light of love shine as our divinity
It’s sacred, so beautiful.
I feel your precious presence as my life
I won’t waste I
won’t waste I won’t waste I won’t waste
I won’t waste one more minute of my life (2x)
I have so much more to be grateful than to be sorry for
I don’t care how
old I am or how I’ve stumbled down
I’ve got faith and good reason to let my Spirit soar.
like a phoenix thundering out of its dust to sing a song of truth
I’m not stuck inside illusion or the fantasy of youth
and I rise and I sail and I pour beyond the walls I’ve built
and I roar Like a distant Mahalia singing to the Lord!
I won’t waste I
won’t waste I won’t waste I won’t waste
I won’t waste one more minute of my life (2x)
Into Your Hands
©2003 Jami Lula
Into your Hands, I commit
my Spirit
Into your hands I commit my Soul
Into your hands, I surrender
Into your hands, Oh Lord
I don’t know what
the Divine plan is
I can’t make sense of what I can’t see
Yet I know that it’s in order
Beyond my wildest dreams
Into your Hands, I commit my Spirit
Into your hands I commit my Soul
Into your hands, I surrender
Into your hands, Oh Lord
Serenity is not absence
of Life going on around me
It’s the stillness I find at any moment
And the truth that sets me free
Into your Hands, I commit my Spirit
Into your hands I commit my Soul
Into your hands, I surrender
Into your hands, Oh Lord
I lost my job, I lost
some weight
I lost a ten dollar bill
I lost a friend, I lost my keys
I lost a lot, but not my will
But more than that I still
have me
I just realized
Anything I lost is not who I am
Only what you see
Let it go
It’s not worth it’s weight or an ocean full of tears
Let it go
I’m still here knowing I can walk through all my fears
I lost my youth, I lost
my innocence
I lost to alcohol
I lost a girl, I lost a woman
I lost to drugs and all my walls
But more than that I
still have me
I just realized
Anything I lost is not who I am
Only what you see
Let it go
It’s not worth it’s weight or an ocean full of tears
Let it go
I’m still here knowing I can walk through all my fears
I lost a Gibson, I lost
marimbas
I lost my metronome
Lost track of time, Both yours and mine
My heart is my only home
But more than that I still
have me
I just realized
Anything I lost is not who I am
Only what you see
Let it go
It’s not worth it’s weight or an ocean full of tears
Let it go
I’m still here knowing I can walk through all my fears

I wanna know what it’s like to forgive myself and then
I wanna know what it’s like to never judge again

Let my heart remain wide open
No matter what the world reveals to me

I wanna know what it’s
like to sing your sweet Love song
I wanna know what it’s like to live not feeling wrong
I wanna know what it’s like to feel my heart opening
I wanna know what it’s like to live beyond beliefs
Some fool’s got
a broken heart
Wants to share it with me
I know, cause I’ve been there before
That fool’s so familiar
You know I’ve heard those tears before
That fool looks in the mirror, back at me
Why can’t I find
some compassion
You know I’d find it for you
Cause I wanna love me
the best that I can
Find love for all of the worst that I am
See things that you can, that I think I can’t
And then some day
I’ll give the love back to you
Well you see me much
better than my looking glass stare
And I’m tired of abusing my heart
Now there’s something calling out to me
I wanna paint pictures clear
But I’m angry, and obstinant, and so full of fear
Why can’t I find
some compassion
You know I’d find it for you
Cause I wanna love me the best that I can
Find love for all of the worst that I am
See things that you can, that I think I can’t
And then some day
I’ll give the love back to you
I said one day, maybe
Tuesday
I said one day, I’m gonna change my mind
Maybe one day, I’m gonna see me the way Spirit sees me
Maybe one day, maybe today, maybe today
Today is the Day
That I’m gonna
Love me the best that I can
Find love for all of the worst that I am
See things that you can that I think I can’t
And then one day
I’ll give the love back to you
I give the Love back to you
I’m givin the love back to you
I give the love back to
Naked Yes I’m Naked You can’t see me
Naked Yes I’m naked You can’t see me

Safe Place to Land
©2004 Jami Lula
As we step out of where we’ve come from
Walking tall in who we’ve become
Being seen for all that we are
Is just one part of our love
I see you and you see me
We welcome each other to our destiny
All that we’re here to express and nothing less
We’re here to share our brilliance
I am your safe place to land
You are my safe place to land
We’ve made a great place to dance
Now we’re walking in our new garden
That we came here to cultivate
Out of seeds that we’d planted long ago
Through the winds of change and fate
I see you and you see me
We welcome each other to our destiny
All that we’re here to express and nothing less
We’re here to share our brilliance
I am your safe place to land
You are my safe place to land
We’ve made a great place to dance
So we’re grateful for all that we’ve been through
Cause it brought us to where we are
And we wouldn’t have wanted something else
To replace this loving heart
I am you and you are me
We thank you GOD for all that we are here to be
All that we’re here to express and nothing less
We dedicate and you Bless, and you Bless, and we’re grateful!
There Is Nowhere That God Is Not

Sometimes I forget where I come from
Sometimes I forget where I’m goin to
Sometimes I get so confused I lose my way
Sometimes I know you feel the same
There is nowhere that God is not
There is nowhere that God is not
There is nowhere that God is not
Everywhere I am I know what I got
Sometimes I believe in what I see
Sometimes I believe what I perceive
Sometimes I get so confused I lose my way
Sometimes I don’t know what to say
There is nowhere that God is not
There is nowhere that God is not
There is nowhere that God is not
Everywhere I am I know what I got
I forgot to pray forgot to be still and know ( ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Forgot to forgive myself until I forgave myself ( ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Forgot to ask for help I forgot to say a word ( ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Forgot to believe in me believe in my Spirits worth ( ooh ooh ooh ooh)
There is nowhere that God is not
There is nowhere that God is not
There is nowhere that God is not
Everywhere I am I know what I got
There is nowhere that God is not
There is nowhere that God is not
There is nowhere that God is not
Everywhere I am I know what I Everywhere I am I know what I
Everywhere I am I know what I got
There's a Healin Goin On

Let me walk to the banks of the river of Love
Where the current runs deep, baptized in the One
Where there’s no separation and the light is all we see
Honoring all our differences, and Love will set us free
Mother Father God There’s a healin goin on
Mother Father God There’s a healin goin on
Mother Father God There’s a healin goin on
Oh rock my Soul Oh Rock my Soul
I see the blessing in the past, it’s time to requalify
Let’s not forget but learn to forgive, God knows we gotta try
It’s my responsibility to heal the wounds in me
Compassion , faith, & hope, & Love ,& Truth will set us free
Mother Father God There’s a healin goin on
Mother Father God There’s a healin goin on
Mother Father God There’s a healin goin on
Oh rock my Soul Oh Rock my Soul
Through Your Eyes
©2000 Jami Lula
She came inside from the wild blue
Eyes deep like a dusk sky
She stole the breath I drew
She looked into the mirror
But she never could see
Didn’t recognize the woman
she was describing to me
(and she said)
If I could see me through your eyes
Would I believe in all these lies
If I could see me through your eyes
Would I believe in all these lies
I love her head down to her toes
I love the romanesque bridge of her nose
It’s something she’d like to change
(and she said)
If I could see me through your eyes
Would I believe in all these lies
Will she ever see
Her beauty I feel in me
If I could see me through your eyes
Would I believe in all these lies
Something's Calling Me
©1999 Jami Lula
Something’s Calling Me
Something’s calling me
Something’s calling me
Something’s calling me a little bit deeper than I’ve
Ever been before
Feel like I’m walkin on marbles
Can’t still the earth beneath my feet
Is my head in the clouds
my naked legs left dangling
I can feel my heart begin to pound
Something’s calling me
A little bit deeper than I’ve
Ever been before
Something’s calling me
A little bit deeper than I’ve
Ever been before
A long dark night my soul it wonders
Can’t see the light that moves me
If God is everything and everywhere that I belong
Spirit gently wakes me from my sleep
nd everybody sang
Something’s calling me
A little bit deeper than I’ve
Ever been before
Something’s calling me
A little bit deeper than I’ve
Ever been before
Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Take me deeper than I’ve ever been before
Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Pull me deeper than I’ve ever been before
Oh Lord, I know I’m not the only one to
Live inside these Blues
Oh Lord, Oh Lord I surrender my life to you
Oh Lord, Oh Lord I give my life I give my Love to you
Love keeps calling me; Faith keeps calling me; compassion calling me
What keeps calling you what keeps calling you what keeps calling you
A little bit deeper than you’ve ever been before
God is calling me and I’m grateful like I’ve never been before

Papa Paulies baby India was trying to figure out
Why her friend that she loved so much
would not be coming ‘round again
Papa Paulie said to India “He’s in everything you see”
Now she’s waving at Flowers waving @ trees
She’s waving @ nothing or so it seems
She’s waving at the sunrise and she waves as it goes down
Thought she lost her friend to the other side
but his Spirit’s all around
Papa Paul, Nicole and India were driving, to the grave
To lay him down, with heavy hearts a laden
India asked to have the window down
Papa Paulie rolled it silently
She cast her hands into the breeze
Now she’s waving at Flowers waving @ trees
She’s waving @ nothing or so it seems
She’s waving at the sunrise and she waves as it goes down
Thought she lost her friend to the other side
but his Spirits all around
She’s waving Hi Josh, Goodbye Josh
Hello Josh, Don’t go
I’m sad, feel bad
Wanna feel you, everywhere I go
Now she’s waving at Flowers waving @ trees
waving @ nothing or so it seems
She’s waving at the sunrise and she waves as it goes down
Waving @ the 0cean and her heart begins to pound
Because he’s waving, and she’s waving
Thought she lost her friend to the other side
but his Spirits all around
