I Rest In the Dream
Music by
Danny Becher
Please be patient while audio loads
I rest in a dream
and the dream moves me.
Please don't despise the images I speak...
they may be truer
than you think.
A judge once said
that God is our Judge;
it was a king who said
that God is a great King;
and a Lover who sang
that God is love.
Perhaps God
was once
a slim young girl
who let her clothes slip from her
and wore only
a holy robe of sunlight
on the battlefield.
But this is a poet's dream
who longs for sexual innocence
and to say it, I feel shy.
Yet, I've heard God say,
When the soul slips naked
from the body...
no one is shy.
