WHEN THE DREAM NEVER DIES
(Omartian/Omartian, 2000)

(From the album "Child Of The Promise", 2000)

Deep in my heart was an ember of longing
Kept warm by the flame of desire
A dream held in secret I yearned to hold openly
Fanned by my hope into fire

It burned to such heat I could touch it no more
So I put it away and then closed up the door
Forever extinguishing all that would keep it alive
But the dream never died

The Lord has done this for me
He has looked on me kindly
He has heard all my cries
He's given me back what I laid at His feet
It must be God
When the dream never dies

Isn't it just like the Lord to invite me
To put all my dreams in His hands
Forever releasing the grip that once held them
Forever surrendering my plans?

And then when He's certain it's not born of men
He calls for the fire to rekindle again
And He asks me to know in my heart
What's not seen with my eyes
So the dream never dies

The Lord has done this for me
He has looked on me kindly
He has heard all my cries
He has given me back what I laid at His feet
It must be God
When the dream never dies

It must be God
When the dream never dies

 

SPANISH TRANSLATION:


CUANDO EL SUEÑO NUNCA MUERE
(Omartian/Omartian, 2000)

(Del álbum "Child Of The Promise", 2000)

En lo profundo de mi corazón había un ascua de anhelo
Que se mantenía caliente por la llama del deseo
Un sueño mantenido en secreto que anhelaba abrazar abiertamente
Avivado por las llamas de mi esperanza

Ardía con tanto calor que ya no lo podía tocar
Así que lo guardé y cerré la puerta
Extinguiendo para siempre todo lo que lo mantendría vivo
Pero el sueño nunca murió

El Señor ha hecho esto por mí
Me ha mirado bondadosamente
Ha oído todos mis llantos
Me ha devuelto todo lo que puse a Sus pies
Debe de ser Dios
Cuando el sueño nunca muere

¿No es propio del Señor invitarme
A poner todos mis sueños en Sus manos
Liberando por siempre la atadura que una vez los oprimía
Por siempre entregando mis planes?

Y entonces cuando Él está seguro de que no ha nacido de hombres
Ordena al fuego que se reavive otra vez
Y me pide que sepa en mi corazón
Lo que mis ojos no han visto
Así el sueño nunca muere

El Señor ha hecho esto por mí
Me ha mirado bondadosamente
Ha oído todos mis llantos
Me ha devuelto todo lo que puse a Sus pies
Debe de ser Dios
Cuando el sueño nunca muere

Debe de ser Dios
Cuando el sueño nunca muere
