The Impossible Dream

I’ve started to dream the impossible dream -

a dream far older and bigger than me.

I dream of all people standing as one

in a world without war, hunger, disease.

I’ve started to dream the impossible dream -

a dream that dictates the last will be first,

captives will go free, the lost will be found,

and none will be left to hunger or thirst.

I’ve started to dream the impossible dream -

I dream that I am blameless and holy,

I dream of our sick, broken world restored,

that we all know our part in His story.

I’ve started to dream the impossible dream -

a dream where ‘success’ does not receive laud.

It all seems impossible yet I know

that nothing is impossible for God.
