All my life I kept my dreams,

Tucked somewhere deep inside;

Till one by one you pulled them out,

With nothing left to hide.

You pointed to my deepest dreams,

You told me I should try;

Then gently told me I had wings,

And showed me how to fly.

Then somehow you reached in my heart,

Made words flow like a stream;

With loving inspiration,

You became part of the dream.

I never would have dreamed my dreams,

They never would have come true;

Those dreams would not be realized,

If God had not sent you.
