So sweet a dream

I dreamed last night about my death
and of entering Heaven's door,
You and I walking side by side
down the Elyssian shore.

We talked for hours, days it seemed
about life and all it's meaning.
But I awoke and lost it all,
the words gone with the dreaming.

I mourned the fall, the waking up,
the loss of Heaven's sea.
I cried the most for You, my God,
and Your sudden absence from me.

My day was dark and full of fear
How could I continue on my own?
Trepidation filled my heart,
but You were there; I was never alone.

You picked me up and carried me
and said "Be still, my lamb.
You needed a friend, a guide, a leader,
you should know: I AM."

I was overwhelmed by awe.
I could not say a word.
You were here, right next to me,
and I knew that You were Lord.

Together we walked my life
forever hand in hand.
I couldn't always see you there,
but I knew when You took a stand.

I stumbled still but did not fall,
a smile creased my face.
I know we'll walk the shore again
in that shining place.

I dreamed a dream so sweet last night
of You and me together.
I decided, then, to live my life
so my dream could last forever.
