Dreamer

I've been working on this song for two days. Thought I might post ;)

Verse 1:

My happily ever after ended

As I watched my dreams die

I felt the pain grow deeper

As I fell on my knees to cry

Verse 2:

Here's me crying out to You

Lover of my soul,

I need You to reach down

And fill this empty hole

Verse 3:

I'd given up on being a dreamer

Until You said don't be afraid to dream

Just know I've got bigger plans

Than you could ever see!

Chorus:

I used to worry 

Until I heard Him say

"I'm not done with your story

This is only chapter one.

Forget about your history-y.

That's all over and done

This life is meant to be a mystery-y.

Take a deep breath,

And trust Me!"

Verse 4:

The webs of this world

Constantly tangle up my heart

There's got to be more than all this world!

I've got to play a part!

Verse 5:

My beating heart is purpose

I won't give up on this life, I won't give in

The Victor within me

I know He's gonna win!

Bridge:

When everything is caving in

That's when He's trying to get your attention!

Chorus:

I used to worry

Until I heard Him say

"I'm not done with your story

This is only chapter one."

So I'm forgetting about my history-y.

I'm living so Your will be done.

This life is meant to be a mystery-y.

I'm letting go 

To trust Someone bigger than me!

Author's Note

This can be dedicated to no other than my dear friend, Maggie, who I thought of as I wrote this, and how she's living out her dreams of purpose in writing her blog Purpose (aha I love how catchy that is xD). I love you, girly!! <3

I hope you all like this! It really portrays to a lot of what God's been teaching me lately! I added more verses than I probably should, but I felt like it made the song that much more meaningful... what do you think? c:

Awwwww girl thank you so much! I love this :) My favorite part is verse 5, though. "My beating heart is purpose, I won't give up on this life, I won't give in. The victor within me, I know he's gonna win!" Perfect. I think this song can be applied to everyone's lives. Great job with this girly! Love you so much! *hugs*
