No Substitutes (The Heritage of Joy) (Lesson 117)

[Intro] [Atmospheric synthesizer pads and a melodic electric guitar lead. The music sounds spacious and clearing.] [Verse 1] I thought that there were gaps inside Your Love Where sin could enter and where pain could move. I tried to redefine the Light as limited And walked a path where fear and sorrow led. I thought that I could find a separate joy In things of dust that time would soon destroy. But fear is just a stranger to Your ways I turn my face to meet Your endless gaze. [Chorus] [Full band enters with strength and drive. Anthemic and declaring.] God, being Love, is also happiness! To fear You is to be afraid of joy. I choose to entertain no substitutes No idols that the ego would employ. I seek but what belongs to me in truth The heritage given to me at my birth. God, being Love, is also happiness The only lasting joy upon the earth! [Verse 2] I clear the holy altar of my mind Of all the meaningless gifts I designed. The tiny treasures and the heavy chains The dusty symbols of my secret pains. I lay them down, these self-made gifts of fear To make a space for what is truly here. Your gifts were mine before the start of time Eternal peace and joy, forever mine. [Chorus] [High energy, soaring vocals.] God, being Love, is also happiness! To fear You is to be afraid of joy. I choose to entertain no substitutes No idols that the ego would employ. I seek but what belongs to me in truth The heritage given to me at my birth. God, being Love, is also happiness The only lasting joy upon the earth! [Bridge] [Drums play a tribal, building tom-tom beat. The lyrics build in intensity.] Love has no limits, being everywhere! And therefore joy is everywhere as well! I leave the shadows of my private hell. I unite my will with what You will for me I accept the truth that sets the prisoner free! These are the gifts my Father gave to me! Joy is my right! Love is my home! [Verse 3] [Music drops out for the first two lines, then swells back in for a massive crescendo.] I welcome gladly now the gifts of Grace, I see the reflection of Heaven in this place. No opposition to the Truth remains, Your Love has washed away the ancient stains. [Full Band Crescendo] I claim the inheritance You held in store, I will not wait for Heaven anymore! [Chorus] [Maximum volume, crashing cymbals, gang vocals on the melody.] God, being Love, is also happiness! To fear You is to be afraid of joy. I choose to entertain no substitutes No idols that the ego would employ. I seek but what belongs to me in truth The heritage given to me at my birth. God, being Love, is also happiness The only lasting joy upon the earth! [Outro] [Music fades to the ambient texture of the intro. The singer repeats the lines softly, prayerfully.] I seek but what belongs to me in truth. Love is my heritage... And with it, joy. No substitutes for Love. Only the truth. [Fade to silence]
