Creation
Text by Mary Baker Eddy
Music by Peter LinkThere is but one creator
And one creation.
Infinite Mind is the creator,
And creation is the infinite image or idea
Emanating from this Mind.
There is but one creator
And one creation.Creation is ever appearing,
And must ever continue to appear
From the nature of its inexhaustible source.This creation consists of
The unfolding of spiritual ideas
And their identities,
Which are embraced in the infinite Mind
And forever reflected.When we learn the way in Christian Science
And recognize man's spiritual being,
We shall behold and understand God's creation, —
All the glories of earth
And heaven
Earth and heaven and man.There is but one creator
And one creation.
And one creation.[Words used courtesy of The Mary Baker Eddy Collection]

The Evidence of Things Unseen
Lyrics by Dora Redman and Peter Link
Music by Peter LinkAnd so he spoke
"They need not depart.
Give ye them food to eat."
Give them food for thought,
The food of light,
The light of sustenance
Don't send them away in their time of need
Feed the flockBut his disciples were not in the mind of Jesus
They struggled to raise their faith
And though miracles had abounded throughout the days
They were stuck in the world's worn out waysThey knew not God's law of infinite abundance
And I watched as they muttered amongst themselves hmm
"Feed them with what? There's nothing to eat"
No apples, no almonds, no meatThen a boy stepped forth
With a basket of bread and two fishes
Well you know the rest
The five thousand were fed
And we all saw the power of his wishes
And the evidence of things unseen
Oh yes the evidence of things unseenYou ask, "What is that evidence?"
It's the substance of faith
And no seeming dreams that lie in betweenThere, by his prayer
Pulled out of thin air
In a miracle of such routine
(As I witnessed so often, again and again)
Was the evidence of things unseen
Yes, the evidence of things unseenYes a boy stepped forth
With the spirit of "Nothing can stop me"
A boy, just a boy
And five thousand were fed
And we all felt the power and the glory
Of the evidence of things unseen
Oh yes the evidence of things unseenAnd right there, by his prayer
Pulled out of thin air
In a miracle of such routine
(As I witnessed so often, again and again)
Was the evidence of things unseenThe man
The miracle
The son of God
Hallelu!!!
And all this from two fishes
And five loaves of bread

Consider the Lilies
Music by Peter Link
Lyrics from Matthew 6Take no thought for your life
What ye shall eat
Or what ye shall drink
Nor yet for your body
What ye shall put onIs not your life more than the meat
And the body than raiment?
Are ye not much better than they?Behold the fowls of the air
For they sow not
And nor do they reap
Or harvest for others
Yet God feedeth his ownAre ye not much better than they?
Consider the lilies of the field
How they grow
Oh how they grow
Consider the lilies of the field
They toil not
Neither do they spinAnd yet I say unto you
That even Solomon in all his glory
Was not arrayed like one of theseAnd therefore take no thought
In wond'ring who will clothe
And who will feed us
And who will end this thirst within
No take no thought
For your heavenly Father knoweth
That ye have need of all these thingsBut now seek ye first
The hand of God
His righteousness
And all will be added
Take no thought for the morrowThe morrow shall take thought
For the things of itselfConsider the lilies how they grow
How they grow
Oh how they grow
How they grow
How they grow

Peace Be Still
Music by Peter Link
Lyrics Adapted from Mark 4
Additional Lyrics by Peter LinkAnd when they had sent away the multitude,
They took the Master into a ship.
And there were also with him other little ships.
But then there arose a great storm
And the waves beat down
And the wind rose up
And the sea filled the ship
Till the waters reignedAnd the Master asleep on a pillow lay
While all of those around him lost hope
So they began to waken him and say to him
Oh Master why do you not care
That we perish out here
In a raging storm
And the waters rise
And the ship goes down
AaahAnd he arose
And rebuked the wind
And said unto the sea
Peace be still
Peace be stillAnd the wind ceased
And there was a great calm
And he said unto them
Why are ye so fearful?
How is it that ye have no faith?And so they esteemed him exceedingly,
And said to one another "Oh my
What manner of man is this who works such miracles
That even the wind and the sea obey him?"For he arose
And rebuked the wind
And said unto the sea
Peace be still
Peace be still

Prodigal Child
Music by Mindy Jostyn
Lyrics by Mindy Jostyn and Jacob BrackmanI am a weary wanderer, I've traveled far and wide
In search of satisfactions I could not find inside
But everywhere I travel, I'm searching in the rain
And every city floods me with emptiness and painI left my homeland long ago with pockets full of gold
I squandered my inheritance, I slept out in the cold
Till in my darkest hour, I cried out in despair
Oh, lead me back to my childhood home
Back to my father's careAnd if he will not have me, I'll go down on bended knee
And ask my generous father if a servant I could be
Though once I was his cherished one
I fear that in my shame
I am no longer privileged to bear our family nameMy father sees me coming from far across the field
He runs to hold me in his arms before I reach his hill
I beg for his forgiveness, I don't deserve his grace
He cries, "I've found you, child of mine"
As tears stream down his faceI am a weary wanderer come home at last to stay
My restless soul has found its peace
My heart has found its way
I failed to win the world, but I've gained a greater prize
To know I am a worthy child in my gentle father's eyes

Isaiah 40
Music and Additional Lyrics by Peter LinkHave ye not known
Have ye not heard
Has it not been told you from the beginning
Have ye not understood the word
That the everlasting God
The creator of the ends of the earth
The Lord
Fainteth not
Neither is weary
And so it is from the foundations of the earthHe giveth power to the faint
To them that have no might within them
He giveth strength to the weak
Even the youths shall faint and be weary
And the young men shall utterly fall
But they that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strengthThey shall mount up with wings as eagles
They shall lift their dauntless faces to the sky
They shall carry on with great expectationsThey shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and not faint
They shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and not faint
They shall run and not be weary
They shall mount up with wings as eaglesHave ye not known
Have ye not heard
Has it not been told you from the beginning
Have ye not understood the word
That the everlasting God
The creator of the ends of the earth
Is the LordThere is no searching of his understanding (x6)
There is no searching
No searching
There is no searching
No searching
There is no searching
No searchingHave ye not known
Have ye not heard
Has it not been told you from the beginning
