Broken Dreams

I had a dream

Of how my life was gonna be

A man of honor with a stellar reputation

 

And I had a dream

That he’d come sweep me off my feet

The vow, the kiss, the dance, the celebration

 

And I really can’t explain it

And I know it makes no sense

How my broken dreams have turned into a miracle like this

 

Up in the sky tonight there is a new star shining

Listen and you will hear a new song in the wind

And here we are down on our knees

In breathless amazement of how this could be

Oh, the beauty that can only come

When God breathes life into our broken dreams

 

We had a dream (We had a dream)

He would be a mighty king

Our rescuer, our warrior, Messiah

Now our hopes are being shattered

As they nail his hands and feet

As they roll the stone in place we thought death had the victory (but)

 

Up from the grave the Savior of the world has risen

Listen and you will hear him sayin’ “It is done”

And here we are down our knees

In breathless amazement of how this could be

Oh, the beauty that can only come

When God breathes life into our broken dreams

 

That’s why we sing

Holy, holy

Over all our broken dreams we still can sing

Holy, holy

 

Up in the sky tonight we see the same star shining

The babe, Emmanuel, God with us then and now

We lift our hands to our Savior and King

In breathless amazement of how this could be

Oh, the beauty that can only come

When God breathes life into our broken dreams

 

Lord, help us remember all the beauty that can only come

When You breathe life into our broken dreams
