They dream I sing my heart And when they wake I will be gone From this world I will depart I may wish to reach the world And move each aching soul But that was not my gift in life And I accept my chosen roll Help me Lord, it's in me deep I want to touch the child I’d been The one that felt forgotten, sad Escaped from a time and when The angel’s ears perk and sing Whispered prayers reach the clouds And God who knows all that’s right Hears me as if I’d sung it loud I touch the heart of Jesus Christ When I attempt to reach his sheep And although my works may not suit men It’s my soul the Ghost will keep For every word I say or write The Holy Ghost has filled my heart And I, the one who seeks your love Admits a smaller part I think of days when I will sing The words I’ve written down And follow those who once were me In shade of purest gown My dream is fluid yet foreseen To sing a song and touch a mind And when I wake I will be gone For my voice I’ll surely find My angels sing as I am weeping My upright God his plan is just If my words for now are silent My prayers are spoken trust I kneel to him each night in song And pour my need for care He touches me and wills me on To write and always share The world is round and God relates He knows we all have dreams Let us not throw down our faith Because it’s not as it seems My angels are awoken They sing I’ve found my voice And when they do I join in to There’s much we must rejoice [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 05-11-2001).] |

gentle, tender, deep feelings here, very touching \ query: have they really made awoken a word, I even hear it on t.v., even on the news, I thought it was 'awakened' heh heh heh...I just looked it up in the dictionary and it's there...thanks for making me curious enough to look [This message has been edited by VAS (edited 05-11-2001).] |
