Surrendering the Dream
I have held a dream deep down inside of me
I am hoping my dream will
One day become a true reality
I shared it with some, but they threw it to the ground
My high hopes of it ever being
Fulfilled, came crashing down
Like Joseph, I think I spoke it out too soon
I shared it, when I probably wasn’t suppose to
Some laughed, while others scoffed
And told me to “dream on!”
The dream almost shattered
Discouragement silenced my hope filled song
God spoke to me and said, “It is I who
Planted this in your heart and mind
Give the dream to Me, and I will fulfil it in My time”
I surrendered the dream and
put it in the hands of God
He put it away, and I
Gave Him the key to the lock
“In My time I will unlock it,
Leave this dream with Me
It is I, who will bring it to pass
Because I now hold the key”
Years went by and there seemed to be no sign
I didn’t see the beginning
And fruition of this dream of mine
I cried unto God, “Why can I not have
The dream fulfilled now. Why must I wait?”
“Why can’t you unlock the dream now,
And make it a reality today?”
Frustrated and restless, I grumbled my concerns
God answered, “You must wait
There are a few things you still need to learn”
God began to speak tenderly,
As He gave me a loving smile
“You must have the character
To carry this dream, My child”
If I give it to you now, when you do not have
The faith and courage to see it through
The dream will fall to the ground
And come crashing down upon you
You must trust Me in all things before
This dream will be released
I will unlock it one day, but now you must
Surrender this dream completely to Me
Too many have broken the lock
And brought their dream to pass in their own time
They did not wait; they had their own agenda
And did not have Mine
I have placed this in your heart for a purpose –
It is for My purpose alone
Surrender your plans
It is not just your dream,
It is mine also
It will be used to further My kingdom
and draw wounded and broken hearts to Me
What I have in mind is greater than what
you have imagined this dream to be
I only share with you a seed.
I have showed you only in part
I will be the One who will grow this dream seed,
deep inside your heart
Now surrender it, do not ask when I will release the key,
Do not question when this dream will be unlocked
Your dream is secure, where it cannot be destroyed
Because now, it is in the hands of the Living God
No man can shatter it. No man can take it away
It is safe and I promise, your dream will be fulfilled someday
Surrender the dream and keep your heart full of hope
Knowing one day many will see
Your dream fulfilled and become a true reality
You may see it with your eyes, or like Abraham you may not
The timing, the purpose and the plan for it,
Is in the hands of God”
