  • Hey, David, I hear you've been dreaming
    About being a big time shepherd some day
    You're gonna prove your brothers wrong
    You're gonna sing your shepherd song
    To the cattle on a thousand hills
    But I've been thinking

    I'm having trouble with a giant down the road
    You're the one who's going to face him toe to toe
    Wipe that grin right off his face
    And whip this army into shape
    I'm going to turn the nation back to Me
    And David, you're right about one thing
    Your little shepherd songs are going to make the whole world sing
    And I'm gonna make you king

    So come on, let Me dream, let Me dream for you
    I am strong when you're weak and I'll carry you
    So let go of your plan, be caught by My hand
    I'll show you what I can do
    When I dream for you
    I have a dream for you

    Hey Mary, I've heard you've been dreaming
    Making plans for your big wedding day
    You and Joseph are gonna be
    The picture perfect family
    Maybe a couple of kids down the road
    But I've been thinking

    Even before time began
    I had a picture perfect plan
    Of how to save this broken world
    Through the life of just one man
    I'm gonna send my only Son
    And Mary, you're the one
    You were right about one thing
    You're gonna have that family
    And you're gonna raise a King

    So come on, let Me dream, let Me dream for you
    I am strong when you're weak and I'll carry you
    So let go of your plan, be caught by My hand
    I'll show you what I can do
    When I dream for you
    When I dream for you

    I'm stronger than you think, I am
    I'll take you farther than you think you can
    You sing and call me Great I Am
    So take your stand
    My child, if you only knew
    All the plans that I have for you
    Just trust me, I will follow through
    You can follow Me

    So come on, let Me dream, let Me dream for you
    I am strong when you're weak and I'll carry you
    So let go of your plan, be caught by My hand
    I'll show you what I can do

    So come on, let Me dream, let Me dream for you
    I am strong when you're weak and I'll carry you
    So let go of your plan, be caught by My hand
    I'll show you what I can do
    When I dream for you
    When I dream for you
    When I dream for you
    I have a dream for you Writer/s: JOHN MARK HALL, MATTHEW WEST
