"I humbly asked to be given the means and privilege to make others happy..."

John Coltrane writes in the notes to "A LOVE SUPREME"

"During the year 1957, I experienced, by the grace of God, a spiritual awakening which was to lead me to a richer, fuller, more productive life.

At that time, in gratitude, I humbly asked to be given the means and privilege to make others happy through music."

I will do all I can to be worthy of Thee, O Lord.
It all has to do with it.
Thank You God.

Peace. There is none other.
God is. It is so beautiful.
Thank You God.



God is all.
Help us to resolve our fears and weaknesses.
In you all things are possible.
Thank you God.

We know. God made us so.
Keep your eye on God.
God is. He always was. He always will be.

No matter what... it is God.
He is gracious and merciful.
It is most important that I know Thee.

Words, sounds, speech, men, memory, thoughts,
fears and emotions--time--all related...
all made from one... all made in one.

Blessed be his name.
Thought waves--heat waves--all vibrations--
all paths lead to God. Thank you God.

His way... it is so lovely... it is gracious.
It is merciful--Thank you God.
One thought can produce millions of vibrations
and they all go back to God... everything does.

Thank you God.
Have no fear... believe... Thank you God.
The universe has many wonders. God is all.

His way... it is so wonderful.
Thoughts--deeds--vibrations,
all go back to God and He cleanses all.

He is gracious and merciful... Thank you God.
Glory to God... God is so alive.
God is.
God loves.

May I be acceptable in Thy sight.

We are all one in His grace.
The fact that we do exist is acknowledgement
of Thee, O Lord.
Thank you God.

God will wash away all our tears...
He always has...
He always will.

Seek him everyday. In all ways seek God everyday.
Let us sing all songs to God.
To whom all praise is due... praise God.

No road is an easy one, but they all
go back to God.

With all we share God.
It is all with God.
It is all with Thee.

Obey the Lord.
Blessed is He.

We are all from one thing... the will of God...
Thank you God.

--I have seen ungodly--
none can be greater--none can compare
Thank you God.

He will remake... He always has and He
always will.
It's true--blessed be His name--Thank you God.


God breathes through us so completely...
so gently we hardly feel it... yet,
it is our everything.

Thank you God.

ELATION--ELEGANCE--EXALTATION--
All from God.

Thank you God. Amen.
