Tonights Dream

Tonight I dreamed a dream, 
I was lost in a mighty gail; 
My ship was torn to pieces, 
I lost both my masts and sails 
. 
I knew my life was over, 
surly at sea I would die; 
To my family I was lost forever, 
oh the tears that fell from my eyes. 

So I knelt down on the deck, 
as the waves crashed over the rails; 
And began to say a little prayer, 
Lord I know your word wont fail. 

I'm asking you for some peace, 
as I am about to die; 
Please let my end be quick, 
on me please keep your eye. 

To my surprise as I arose, 
the storm that quickly came, 
Had diapered into the night, 
my ship and I remained. 

Then I woke up in a sweat, 
covered from head to toe; 
My heart was pounding like a hammer, 
my mind racing to and fro. 

Then I knelt and said thank you, 
for reminding that you care; 
Help me not to wait for a disaster, 
to talk with you in prayer.
