Courage to Dream Again - Updated And Rewritten

Courage to Dream Again

Angels spread their wings;
To keep the snow from falling.
But the chilling winds;
Announce that winters calling.

The leaves have fluttered;
Tossed around, swirl gently down.
While in the distance;
Geese call that familiar sound.

Sadness fills our heart;
When we've found our dream has failed.
When all leaves of hope;
Are gone and losses bewailed.

Sometimes dreams will die;
Sorrows bring us to tears.
But trusting Jesus;
Relieves the heart anguished in cares.

God is in control;
Of both winter and the spring.
Of the autumn rains;
And heartaches transforming sting.

Through life and through death;
Our God's purpose shall prevail.
Through our darkest grief;
Holds us through the stormy gale.

---

Cold winds fill the sky;
Nature builds a warm embrace.
A place of comfort;
A sheltering hiding place.

Where do we find warmth;
In the bitter rains of loss?
Jesus is that place;
Of comfort, He bares our cross.

Though heartache will come;
Though winter winds whip and whirl.
And our soul cries out;
As we witness our dreams burial.

Remember the Spring;
Where new dreams and hopes are born.
Miracles of grace;
Arising from the fallen corn.

Seeds, of truth and of life;
Tended with the Fathers hand.
Watered with His love;
Brings courage to dream again.
----

Dream Again. Dream again;
His comfort brings healing anew.
In his sheltering wings;

For God is not through with you.
