I Dream

As I walk along these city streets I dream
Of a Kingdom come
His will be done
Laying down our weapons
Casting aside our hatred
Along with our ambivalence

All Creation knowing and realizing
The HOPE that was promised long ago

We dream, we hope, we trust
That somehow we can be
The advocates of love
The conduits of peace
The messengers of grace

We know that a force beyond comprehension
Can take root inside of us
And transform us into a new humanity
We yearn for the focus, the discipline, the sacrifice
To become one with this good force

To feel the flow of a Spirit
Guiding our hearts, minds, hands and feet

Let us be the people we were made to be
Present in every moment
Aware of your presence
Awakening to our true purposes

I dream that this dream would be realized
That this way would be inhabited in the real world
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
