 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."
Text of
A LOVE SUPREME
by John Coltrane
(Impulse Record AS-77)
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, throughts,
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.
