I Dreamed of Love
I dreamed of love
A never ending love
That filled my heart.
The type of love
That showed mercy
Teaching compassion and grace.
The type of love that did not end
Warm and beautiful
A continuous gift to a fragile soul
A soul--lonely and cold
Cold from the pain inflicted by humanity
This love grew like a fire
Kindled by grace
Grace that could only come from above
And find its way into my heart
This love I found when lost
Amid life's troubled waves
This love sought me out
Saved me from the shoals
The rocky coast of pain and despair.
I found this love in Christ's arms
His nearness envelops me
Knowing his presence 'tis not a dream
But instead reality.
