Lazy summer afternoon. Screened in porch and nothin' to do. I just kicked off my tennis shoes. I'm slouchin' in a plastic chair and rakin' my fingers through my hair. I close my eyes and leave them there. I yawn, and sigh, and slowly fade away...
Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen. Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast. Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me. Oh, the love I feel and oh, the peace! Do I ever have to wake up?
I'm awakened by a familiar sound; a clumsy fly is buzzing around. He bumps the screen and he tumbles down. He gathers about his wits and pride and tries again for the hundredth time 'cause freedom calls from the other side. And I smile, and nod, and slowly drift away...
Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen. Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast. Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me. Oh, the love I feel and oh, the peace!
Do I ever have to wake up? 'Cause peace is pouring over my soul. See the lambs and the lions playin'. I join in and drink the music. Holiness is the air I'm breathing! My faithful heroes break the bread and answer all of my questions. Not to mention what the streets are made of! My heart's held hostage by this love and these briliant colors I have never seen! I join a billion people in the wedding feast! I reach out and touch the face of the One who made me!!
Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen. Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast. Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me. Oh, the love I feel and oh, the peace! Do I ever have to wake up?
Do I ever have to wake up?
Do I really have to wake up now?
Now, sadly, I did not write the above. It's a song by Chris Rice called Deep Enough To Dream. I just listened to it for the first time and feel in love with it. I mean, I had heard the song before. Even knew some of the words. But never before have I really listened to the words and the message in it. Oh, Lord. How I long for that wedding feast!! Not to mention Your face and presence!! I'd love to just sleep away and dream deep enough...
Deep enough to feel His presence all around me.
Deep enough to kneel before my King.
Deep enough to praise Him night and day.
Deep enough to learn and talk with the ultimate Teacher.
Do I ever have to wake up?
