Surrender A Precious Dream

I’m staring at the door
Waiting
for you to walk back through
My tears are falling to the floor
As I sit here
thinking about you

Life feels so cold
now that you’re gone
I look for peace in the breaking of the dawn
But all I find
is your face in the sunrise
And it brings tears to my eyes

This hurt in my heart is real
 and I am beginning to feel
Like I can’t do this on my own
And I'm calling for someone
Someone to take control
And as I think of you now
All the dreams we planned out
I realize
That I’ve got to let you go
And surrender
this precious dream

As I lay down at night to sleep
Thoughts of you consuming me
Remembering the way it was
Before He called you home
What I wouldn’t give right now
To see you again somehow
To feel your arms
Holding me
As you tell me it’s okay

I've gotta let you go
Because Christ is in control
And He always does what’s best for you and me

This hurt in my heart is real
but I am beginning to feel
Like I can start to live again
Someone has heard my call
He's always had control
And He’ll see me to the end
Oh, as I think of you now
All the dreams we planned out
I realize
That I must surrender
My precious
dream

  1. I was wondering if I could take a few lines to put in a quote in my signature in Apricot Pie. Thanks :)

    God bless you! And thank you for blessing me.

    P.S. I've been listening to this song over and over again the past days. It's absolutely beautiful and Ariel's voice and the lyrics and the piano arrangement and emotion = exquisite. I cried at some parts when the meaning struck me.
