Daydreamers
Can you please wake me up if you happen to find me sleeping?
It’s my love for God that is the strength within that’s keeping
My heart well balanced and my mind fully focused on the truth
I have something to prove to the audience that consist of youth
So what can wake these sleeping eyes that drift away and hide?
A living flame that kindles my soul that’s cracking from inside
Cause no love can shine brighter than all the sparks that ignite this
We are called to be a light for this world that lives in darkness
What are we doing to wake these daydreamers that are shifting?
Further away from the Spirit of God with their minds now drifting
Into a surreal world that your mind drew up while it was sleeping
There’s nothing that can stop this dream process from slowly seeping
As I imagine that I’m running through a beautiful mountainside meadow
Breathing in the cool air and playing as if time is moving really slow
I gaze into a rippling stream that flows through this field I have dreamed
I see my reflection through the glassy waters that make shapes that seemed
So real to me that I must question my subconscious mind that you shook
It’s making me realize my imperfections so I need to take a second look
I have often wondered why so many people pass up the chance to find
The pathway to eternity that will reveal the truth to all those that are blind
Were waiting for something greater that God has planned for everyone
Something to big for us to fathom until His heavenly kingdom has come
And with my eyes I capture the beauty of nature that sings us a hymn
As my dreams soon begin to come alive and open new worlds once dim
I pray that we don’t stop dreaming cause its painting new ideas for all
It can build a bridge that will tie our unity to Christ who took our fall
Can you picture the blood, sweat and tears that dropped from his face
He became disfigured and was betrayed on a cross for the human race
I see no end to the possibilities that would be formed if we all unite
Allow His love to run into our veins like a chemical that could ignite
A feeling too deep or heavy to ignore because of the danger it possesses
Your words are inscribed into my heart forever and Your love caresses
Even the blackest heart that has been filled with so much pain and disgust
We can always start this life over again and rebuild all of the lost trust
So many wandering strangers are searching their souls lost in a trance
We find ourselves running the opposite direction from true romance
But all they want to really feel is the sunlight soaking into their skin
The warmth of its radiating heat that slowly penetrates deep within
A satisfying sensation that can be shared by anyone that lets it burn
This is what God’s love feels like so make that 180 degree turn
This daydreaming we all encounter will pull us deep into the black
Our faith can be erased in just a second by the devil who holds us back
So take a moment to strategically plan a way to stay focused and alert
Because this sinful world will find so many ways to simply hurt
Our minds with all the garbage it fills and spear our hearts with hate
We cannot accept defeat and let our weaknesses fall hard to the bait
Are we truly trying to make real progress or just sink into the trap?
Don’t give up and stop what your doing when your on the final lap
Keep pushing and striving for the finish line where the prize awaits
Cause we want to show the world were different by our spiritual traits
Be careful if you begin to daydream since it can make you slip away
Into a forgetful state of mind that will leave you in such disarray
It’s frustrating to others and ourselves that we fail to think clear
We just let our thoughts drift into the wind where they disappear
God will give us the strength to endure any challenges that we face
Take us home to your world that is far away from this earthly place
Shelter me with angel wings and protect me from all the world’s harm
Don’t let these mighty winds stir up turmoil that is sounding the alarm
We need to stay on constant watch since we never know what to expect
Figure out the truth from a lie so we can live a life that we can accept
I keep on chasing after all these dreams but what are they telling me
Do you have a definition that can describe a character such as I be?
Sometimes I don’t understand why I try so hard to even figure out
The vastness of time and space that come together to share a deep amount
Of mysteries for my traveling eyes that have not seen such works displayed
I know the wonders and powers of God have and always will amaze
Open up my mind and let me dream of how our lives need to generate
Courage, love, hope, and truth for all those who continue to wait
Come pour a light over these sleeping eyes that need to be awakened
Lord use me to teach Your Word and may my message truly shaken
All the hearts and minds of those who refuse to listen to what I say
All we can do is take it to God and simply bow before Him and pray
