Strange Dream |
I had the strangest dream last night, if you don't mind, I'll share I dreamt of a world of pain, where no one I met seemed to care I traveled from place to place, in search of someone who did But my pleas for a friend went unanswered, from elder to youngest kid I began to wander aimlessly, for my heart had been broken in two How did this society become a world, all for me and none for you? A culture based on greediness, where the strong suppress the meek And lies are given more credence, over the truth anyone could speak I saw it all laid out before me, an unreal, unforgiving domain And cried out to anyone who would listen, before I went insane And a tiny glistening caught my eye, out in the distant night With nothing else to lose, I set out for the source of that light After a time, I came upon a small place, a church really, nothing more But the sign said all were welcome, so I entered in through the door Inside I found a wonder beyond words, a spirit that burned so bright Christians with love enough still, to hold back the encroaching night I asked if I could seek refuge, begging forgiveness for being so bold But the world outside had gone astray, human hearts had become too cold The answer was an offered hand, an assurance all was not as it may seem For love still existed in this world, as in the one outside this dream How can this possibly be I asked? I have sought both high and low Could I have overlooked something important, something I should know? I'd been around the world looking, searching every corner of the Earth To find the object of my quest, something to give my life some worth They said it was not something, but a someone I had missed indeed He was the answer to all my questions, to the cravings my only need They inquired if I had heard of Jesus, I said I had looked through His book They asked if they could pray with me, I said fine if that was all it took I prayed with them in earnest, and to Jesus surrendered my heart And filled with the Holy Spirit, the woes of the world began to depart I was captured by the event, such joy and overwhelming elation To find by becoming a child of God, I had become a new creation I woke up the following morning, with a feeling of comfort and peace With the promise of God's presence, and His love that does increase Able to stand firm against all adversity, and that wily Devil's schemes Having the reassurance that my God, even protects me in my dreams |
