A DREAM
I dreamed I fell into a stream with many others too
All of us were struggling – ‘twas little we could do
And when I thought that all was lost and little hope remained
Some lovely words came to my mind and gave me hope again
“Love is the Spirit of Life flowing out to you
To keep you and sustain you your whole life through
If you do just what I ask you and you follow Me”
You’ll open prison doors set the captives free
And as I listened to these words I knew the Lord was there
I told him life just seemed too hard and I was in despair
He said to me, “my brother, don’t look at life this way
Just take My yoke upon you and wash your cares away
You’ll find My yoke is easy, and too, My burden light
Love and laughter will be yours - every day and night.
Cast all your cares upon Me, stay close to Me each day
You’ll understand and hear My voice along the narrow way
You then will give to others My gift I give to you
You need not look to any man to know just what to do
For if you seek to understand by trusting words of man
And do not seek to find your place in My created plan
Then you will never find the way to touch those you hol dear
And empty words of self you give won’t wash away your fear
But each and every one of you who struggle in this life
Need only reach out for My hand to overcome the strife.
And all of those who’re anxious and feel they’re sinking low
Can hear My Holy Spirit’s voice and find their heart’s aglow
And anyone who calls on Me – says – “Jesus I love you”
Will understand deep down within a love that’s pure and true.
And as you share My gifts around your joy will be a flood
For I have conquered everything in shedding of My blood
I’ve s paved the way to heaven – I’m waiting there for you
To meet you up in Paradise when the time is due
