Dreams I Dream for You

I (Anne) was spending some quiet time alone with the Lord this morning and I felt compelled to listen to some music by Avalon. (If you're a fan of Christian music you'll remember that Avalon was big back in the 90's.) I hadn't listened to this cd in years, but I still knew all the words. The final song on the cd is called "Dreams I Dream for You." Instead of singing along, I chose to just sit and listen to God's words to me... they brought me to tears. I was reminded to let go of all my dreams for this life, to stop focusing on waters gone by, to take the cup He offers and drink deeply of the dreams He dreams for me...accepting that His dreams may look nothing like my own.

Dreams I Dream for You - Avalon

You taste the tears

You're lost in sorrow

You see your yesterdays

I see tomorrow

You see the darkness

I see the spark

You know your failures

But I know your heart

The dreams I dream for you

Are deeper than the ones you're clinging to

More precious than the finest things you knew

And truer than the treasures you pursue

Let the old dreams die

Like stars that fade from view

Then take the cup I offer

And drink deeply of

The dreams I dream for you

You see your shame

But I see your glory

You've read one page

But I know the story

I hold a vision

That you'll become

As you grow into the truth

As you learn to walk in love

Let the old dreams die

Like starts that fade from view

Then take the cup I offer

And drink deeply of

The dreams I dream for you
