I dreamt of hope one day in spring,
I heard a bird begin to sing.
And as it did I spied a slope.
One day in spring I dreamt of hope.

How can it be? This angel stood,
and as I stared, (he wore a hood)
He said, "Come man, and follow me."
This Angel stood, how can it be?

Just as we trudged, this gate appeared,
in front of us, (the land was cleared)
We pushed to open, then it budged,
this gate appeared just as we trudged.

Before us lay a wondrous town,
I saw some men wear robes and crown.
Their clothes they shone as bright as day.
A wondrous town before us lay.

One Man stood out from all the rest,
He wore a crown, a golden vest.
It was the Lord, I gave a shout --
from all the rest one Man stood out.

"Well done my son." (this silent sound)
"Don't look alarmed, you're Heaven bound.
It's on your scroll, those works you've done.
(This silent sound) Well done my son"

My feet took flight as on the wing,
'twas like I was a conquering king.
The saints rejoiced. This wondrous sight,
as on the wing, my feet took flight.

No need to cry, let grief slide by,
He'll wait for you where eagles fly.
You're saved by grace, no need to try,
let grief slide by, no need to cry.

I then woke up, beside that slope,
I jumped for joy for I knew hope,
I broke the bread, I drank His cup.
Beside that slope, I then woke up.
