Supreme Dream

I had a dream
It reigned supreme
of any dream I've had before
Bathed in light
and taking flight
I had flew to a distant shore

My wife was there
knelt down in prayer
and enveloped by a glow
I heard a voice
that said rejoice
The Lord God has saved her soul

She prays for you,
your children too;
and she has since she arrived
Release your guilt
that you have built
because God let you survive

God called her home
and now has shown
that she's in a better place
If you my friend
had met your end
This is not what you would face

If you could see
what hell will be
you would die while still in sleep
With just a glance
you lose the chance
to escape the fiery deep

When you awake
you must forsake
the sin you have always knew
Just like your wife
Give God your life
The life Jesus bought for you

When I awoke
my spirit broke
and I fell down to my knees
With sobbing prayer
I pleaded there
Lord forgive me please

Yes, I had a dream
It reigned supreme
of any dream I've had before
It saved my life
and I'll see my wife
Someday on that distant shore.
