Zacharias! What is the matter?
What is this strange new look in your eyes?
Don’t you know it’s me, Elizabeth, your wife?
Why don’t you speak? What have you seen?
A letter for me, from you, Zacharias?
What does all this mean?
A son, Zacharias? For us?
But we are so… well… we are old
I’ve dreamed of giving you a son, Zacharias
I saw what I thought was the death of that dream
I trust what you’ve heard
And I know what you’ve seen
Are from God...
WHEN THE DREAM NEVER DIES
(Omartian/Omartian, 2000)
Deep in my heart was an ember of longing
Kept warm by the flame of desire
A dream held in secret I yearned to hold openly
Fanned by my hope into fire
It burned to such heat I could touch it no more
So I put it away and then closed up the door
Forever extinguishing all that would keep it alive
But the dream never died
The Lord has done this for me
He has looked on me kindly
He has heard all my cries
He's given me back what I laid at His feet
It must be God
When the dream never dies
Isn't it just like the Lord to invite me
To put all my dreams in His hands
Forever releasing the grip that once held them
Forever surrendering my plans?
And then when He's certain it's not born of men
He calls for the fire to rekindle again
And He asks me to know in my heart
What's not seen with my eyes
So the dream never dies
The Lord has done this for me
He has looked on me kindly
He has heard all my cries
He has given me back what I laid at His feet
It must be God
When the dream never dies
It must be God
When the dream never dies
Do you have a dream that refuses to die? Have you laid it at God's feet? Don't give up, it just might be God when the dream never dies.
