This is my wish
My wish for the world
That peace would find its way
To every boy and girl
This is the time
The time for harmony
Let love be the song
That everybody sings
Fill the air with joyful noise
Ring the bells and raise your voice
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
Lift your light
Let it shine
Shine, shine, shine
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
I hear the sweetest sound
The sound of hope to come
Together we can bring
Good will to everyone
Fill the air with joyful noise
Ring the bells and raise your voice
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
Lift your light
Let it shine
Shine, shine, shine
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Fill the air with joyful noise
Ring the bells and raise your voice
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
Lift your light
Let it shine
Shine, shine, shine
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
Here is a great video and song by 3 of my friends from Broadjam: Dianne MacAdam, Nathaniel Jones, and Peter Olach (their links are below) – Awesome song and video! I need to remember this – HOLD ON!
HOLD ON
I’m tired of pulling weeds
I’ve been here on my knees
But they keep coming back (they keep coming back)
No matter how I try
To light my darkened sky
It always turns to black (it always turns to black)
I need to get away
From all these debts to pay
I’m living in the red (so tired of this debt)
Fingers about to break
Can’t seem to cure this ache
I’m clinging to the ledge (don’t know if I can)
It’s all I can do
To Hold On
And I can hear the train
Making its way again
Somehow the steel on steel (sounds like a promise)
I climb on board the car
Nothing but my guitar
And try to lose the fear (and leave the darkness)
I’m leaving all I know
I’m going with the flow
And pray my soul’s fulfilled (I’m leaving all I know)
The only way to see
If this is right for me
Is to leave the status quo (I’m leaving all I know)
It’s all I can do
To Hold On
You’re battered, bruised and scarred
This life can be so hard
You must remember Who You Are
Take the time to breathe
The water will recede and
Find a way to stop the bleeding
Hold On
Hold on

I’ve seen the lights come from the flashes in the dark
I feel like a blind man trying to make a start
And I don’t know, no I don’t know
Where I’m gonna go
I’ve seen the sun come up a mile from the ground
Flew back the other way and saw it go back down
I know the days changed but always seem the same
I’ll take the best of what I can from my mistakes
And now I know, now I know
I can’t go wrong, as long as I remember where I’m from
Hold my head up just to keep it clear
I want a chance just to face my fear, face my fear
Nevermind all the times I just couldn’t wait
I cant remember when it all began to change
Watching the grass grow and die from summer to fall
It’s funny how the year passes by and you don’t notice at all
I know, I know
I can’t go wrong, as long as I remember where I’m from
Hold my head up just to keep it clear
I want a chance just to face my fear, face my fear
I can’t go wrong, as long as I remember where I’m from
Hold my head up just to keep it clear
I want a chance just to face my fear, face my fear
I can’t go wrong, as long as I remember where I’m from
Hold my head up just to keep it clear
I want a chance just to face my fear, face my fear

Do you dream with God, do you share your hopes and dreams with Him?
God wants you to dream! Do you think about the plans and dreams you have for the future?
Will you sit at God’s feet and let him share HIS DREAM with you?
What are God’s desires for you, your family, your town, country, nation?
Will you let God download His dreams in your heart?
You are God’s family, You are his sons and daughters, it is VERY GOOD!
God put something in us to cause us to think this way! A creative force – let there be dreamers!
YOU are God’s outlet for HIS DREAMS! We get to dream with Him, and we get to create it together!
God dreamed your destiny for you!
Will you dream so you can find His plans?
If you don’t let yourself dream, how can He accomplish His will?
He is the Author of Creation and Creativity – will you let God into your dreams?
God gets involved in the dreams, He put them in our hearts. God already dreamed the dream and put it there.
God took Abraham places:
Will you go to Shechem – and let God be the Lord of the Dream? God wants to awaken the dormant dreams in you…
Will you go to Bethel – to the place of dreams? God wants family members to dream with…
Will you go to Hebron – the place of friendship/intimacy? God wants to share His dreams with His friends…
Will you go to Moriah – put Isaac on the altar, and let God test you? Do you own the dream or do you let the dream own you? Will you give the dream back to God? Moriah means “seen by God”. God took Abraham to the place that represented His dreams. Abraham and God dreamed together there. God got his dream back at Calvary – His family is restored back to his bosom.
Every time Abraham looked up and saw the stars, God showed him his family. Our dreams are intertwined with God’s. And God asked Abraham what do you see? His response:
You see stars – I see my family
You see sand – I see a bride for my son
You see an altar – I see a cross
You see a ram – I see my son
And God brought His Son, and built an altar in the shape of a cross, and he uses our family to get His family back. God put something in you that He needs to save His people and save the world.
Has life, divorce, injury, abuse, loss, stolen your dreams? No more – it’s time to get that part of you back!
The prayer at the end – starts at 44:18, wow!
This video made me cry. I realize I have let that part of me die as I hid in the darkness too long.
No more, I’m going to do what Dutch asks and let God show me His dreams for my life.
