God’s Summer Dreams
Martin Luther King had big dreams
This is true
Dreams for me
Dreams for you
That there would be no black, no white
All people are equal in God’s sight
Abraham Lincoln had large dreams too
That slavery through the world would end
That no more young men to civil war’s hell he would send
That like King said he would too
Love me for who I am
Don’t hate be for the colour of my skin
Let peace be with every heart within
Rosa Parks fought on a bus
That there would be no more black, only the you, the us
Langston Hughes had God’s summer dreams too
The poem of a bird with broken wing
That can’t take flight
Broken dreams that have you losing sleep through the night
What about the me, the you?
What are God’s summer dreams for you?
The summer of God’s dreams
The dreams God has put upon your heart
Do you wonder where He’s calling you to go?
You pray and pray ’til you’re all prayed out
Tossed about on a sea of doubt
Just look around you and see
All the hurting souls longing to be free
All the people living in poverty of mind, heart, body and soul
All the souls who have yet to know their life’s goal
Pray for the hurting, pray for the lost
Pray for the youth in gangs that they would be surrounded by people of love
Who would show them what love means that is from above
Pray for that struggling student who can’t afford university’s cost
Pray for the disabled who want their dream of a good job, a good education
Pray for those who live in poverty’s degradation
That in that journey a strong hand would show them the way out
Pray for the sick who aren’t provided the medications they need
Pray that there would be caring hearts in government, in community
Who would fight for an end to the injustice of poverty
Pray for the mother who stays up late at night asking where is God leading my son, my daughter?
Pray for all the victims of barbaric slaughter
Pray for the addicted, the prostitute, the abused
Pray for that unwed teenager who is pregnant, abandoned, feeling all alone
That a parent, a member of their family would care for them, help them see God’s dreams can still live in them
They can still reach God’s destiny
Pray for all who feel used
Pray for those who have been and are abused
Pray that everyone would come into God’s family
Salvation would set all prisoners to darkness free
In praying for all these struggling souls
In asking God where are you leading me?
You’ll find your summer dreams God has for you
If you would be to God’s heart true
Your mission could be right where you are
Or it could be across oceans afar
Don’t give up the fight to know God’s dreams
Don’t let doubt win out over you
Don’t let other’s hate conquer you
In God’s Kingdom there is no black
There is no white
There is only one union of souls seeking God’s Light
Don’t give up praying to see your Lord’s way
I find as I do more listening I am hearing God’s dreams for me in silent prayer
In the stillness feeling with me He does share the summer of His dreams for me
Your summer dreams can be His too
If you would trust your Lord to show you the way in times of darkness, in times of doubt
Discovering what His summer dreams for you are all about
