Lyles & King
This event has ended.
Bless you for your anger
It’s a sign of rising energy
Bless you for your sorrow
It’s a sign of vulnerability
Bless you for your greed
It’s a sign of great capacity
Bless you for your jealousy
It’s a sign of empathy
Bless you for your fear
It’s a sign of wisdom
Bless you for your search
Of direction
Bless you for the times
You feel no love
Open your heart to life anyway
In time you’ll find love in you
You are a sea of goodness
You are a sea of love
Bless you, bless you, bless you
Bless you for what you are
The world has all that you need
You have the power to attract what you wish
Wish for health, wish for joy
Remember, you are loved
I love you
Transform the energy to versatility
And it will bring you prosperity
Transform the energy to sympathy
And it will bring you love
Transform the energy to giving
Give as much as you wish to take and you will receive satisfaction
Transform the energy to admiration
And what you admire will become part of your life
Transform the energy to flexibility
And you will be free from what you fear
Transform the energy to receptivity
And the direction will come to you
Evil feeds on your support
Feed not and it will self-destruct
