A DREAM 

  I dreamt 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                                                                                            

   You’ll open prison doors set the captives free

   If you do just what I ask you and you follow Me”

   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 the one who’s near

  And empty words of self you give won’t wash away man’s 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 drowning too

 Can ask My Holy Spirit too just cleans their hearts anew

 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 God’s gifts around your joy will be a flood

 For God has conquered everything in shedding Jesu’s blood

 Jesus paved the way to heaven – He’s waiting there for you

 He’ll drown out all life’s sorrows life and love will be so true
