Dream Followers Was this all before it came to be Only for God an idea, maybe a dream Until He was actually fully able to see His universe, our earth spinning His green ball, Pure, holy in the beginning Seeing our first steps, first words Before the lines between good & bad By us were so badly blurred I guess you could say God followed His dream So, Should today we say Follow your own human dream If we are created in His image To us we hear that this must seem A good thing, a right way To try & live each day Under our own imagination’s spell But wait, We are not our own god By us was not created This universe This earth we trod We’re part of a creation Not the Creator Let us not turn our lives Into an even greater aberration, Or abomination Seek God’s dream for our lives Thus, truly can we daily strive And find Truer joy, peace, contentment To give us more of this Was our Savior born & sent To show us the truly greatest way Over a lost world to hold full sway And more purely daily dream!
On Speed Crash, crash Thud, thud Lives speed-ed up Whirling around A distracting hub Of meaningless behavior Don’t think for yourself How dare you! Especially about a spirit?

Until he fails to break The enlightened spell & you at last awake Yourself to embrace In your Lord/Creator A cleaner, purer faith!
How? How do You see Someone as small as Me But somehow You do & as I gaze up at You You smile down I am your creation, Your child Launched into paradise But by our own hands It became quite wild Restless, lawless Open rebellion Our great fall You tell upon The pages of Your Book Wandering lost In pain Why do we repeat Over & over again All that old evil All that old same So inside I must look For guidance For a better hinderance To my lost behavior & so, You gave me Your Son, my Savior Praise You Lord God! Return to me I will return to you So, each day I try to follow That my re-birth May be renewed!!
