Representative Text

1 The world says I'm dreaming, but I know 'tis Jesus
Who saves me from bondage and sin's guilty stain;
He is my Lover, my Savior, my Master,
'Tis He who has freed me from guilt and its pain.

Refrain:
Let me dream on,
If I am dreaming;
Let me dream on,
My sins are gone;
Night turns to dawn,
Love's light is beaming,
So if I'm dreaming,
Let me dream on.

2 My home in the glory is fairer than morning,
And Jesus my Savior will welcome me there;
No, I'm not dreaming! I'm awake, it is dawning,
His smile and His love I'll eternally share. [Refrain]

3 Oh, let me fight on for Jesus my Savior,
And tell of the love He so wondrously gave;
Preaching or singing, or living or dying,
In life or in death He is mighty to save. [Refrain]
